Job no 541924
 
About US
The United Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF is mandated by the UN general assembly to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.
 
Job Summary  The Policy Analysis Specialist will contribute to UNICEF Uganda’s programme results by supporting UCO’s engagements with both national partners and development partners, primarily through the coordination of social sector investment mapping, the development of external policy briefings, and facilitating UCO’s efforts to strengthen advocacy on behalf of children’s rights in Uganda.
 
The Policy Analysis Specialist will report to the Representative in collaboration with technical sections and staff as relevant.
 
Key Duties and Responsibilities 
Draft and Finalize Policy Briefs on Critical Issues Affecting Children and Adolescents
In support of the Uganda CO policy advocacy agenda, lead in the drafting and finalization of external policy briefs on critical issues affecting children and young people, under the supervision of the Representative in collaboration with the Chief Social Policy.
Engagement with Development Partners and National Partners
Tracking off-budget expenditure Take the lead within UCO in documenting and reporting the off-budget expenditures of development partners on behalf of national partners especially the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education and Sports, with the potential to expand to other sectors as well, with the goal of institutionalizing the off-budget mapping of social sectors. Support the development of briefings highlighting the off-budget financing for social sectors in collaboration with national partners and development partner groups.

These updates may include the creation of products or other materials that can assist development partners in their advocacy with national partners and within their own institutions at HQ levels. The frequency of these update will be determined in consultation with sections and the Representative.
Projecting UNICEF’s work in Uganda Support technical sections in projecting and disseminating periodic updates of UNICEF’s broader work in Uganda. These updates may be general in nature—capturing success stories across relevant sections and how they fit strategically within the UNICEF-GOU Country Programme Document—or tailored to the specific advocacy and funding priorities of different partners.
