For every child, Nutrition
Organizational Context and Purpose for the job
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, in advocacy and in operations.
The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action.
For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favouritism.
To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated.
There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries.
This is why the focus on equity is so vital.It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
The Organizational context
Under the supervision of the Supply Chain Manager, Strategy Development and Implementation, and working closely with colleagues in SCSC, Supply Division, Programme Division, Regional Offices, and Country Offices, the incumbent will support the development and use of supply chain management strategies in select countries for priority Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and other nutrition/and health supply chains with direct impact on programme results with a geographic focus in the MENA region.
