Gender-based violence (GBV)
Purpose of Activity/Assignment:
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.

UNICEF has developed Laaha, a Virtual Safe Space (VSS) platform co-designed with adolescent girls. Laaha offers contextualized information on GBV, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), mental health and psychosocial support. Following successful pilots, Laaha is in various stages of rollout in several countries.
Laaha has also captured global attention, including from the private sector and other potential allies who are helping unlock new, non-traditional funding and positioning UNICEF at the forefront of ethical, girl-centered digital innovation.
The success of Laaha and broader GBViE/Tech initiatives hinges on availability of the right skillsets. There is an urgent need for a consultancy to:

Ensure sustained technical support to country offices deploying Laaha.

Maintain and grow donor partnerships tied to Laaha and other GBV tech tools.

Drive forward ethical, safe, and survivor-centered digital GBV programming globally.

Provide inputs to inter-agency coordination and innovation platforms.

As Laaha enters a critical scale-up phase, UNICEF seeks a highly skilled consultant to operationalize its scalability strategy, focusing on governance design, financial modeling, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) engagement, and global partnerships.
Scope of Work:
Under the supervision of the Senior Child Protection Specialist – GBViE, the consultant will provide strategic and technical guidance and support to advance UNICEF’s GBViE Technology and Innovation portfolio, with a particular focus on the scaling and sustainability of Laaha.
The consultant will play a substantial role in:

Finalizing and operationalizing Laaha’s multi-tiered governance structure;

Supporting rollout of a refined subscription model to strengthen financial sustainability;

Establishing and launching initial corporate social responsibility (CSR) partnerships; and

Strengthening intersectoral linkages and programmatic integration across UNICEF’s humanitarian and development work.

The consultancy will be home-based with travel to emergency-affected contexts relevant to the above tasks, as feasible.

Qualifications
(1) Education
An advanced university degree (Master’s or equivalent) in Business, Business Administration, Technology, Software, Marketing, International Development, Social Sciences, Human Rights, or a related technical field is required.
Alternatively, a first-level university degree in combination with an additional two (2) years of relevant experience may be accepted in lieu of an advanced degree.

Fluency in English is required.

Minimum of 8–10 years of progressively responsible experience in partnership development, corporate engagement, or fundraising—ideally in the context of international development, humanitarian response, digital innovation, or gender equality.

Demonstrated experience building and managing strategic partnerships across the private sector (CSR/foundations), UN agencies, civil society, and donors—preferably in areas related to gender equality, GBV, SRHR, or technology for development.

Proven track record in designing, testing, and refining governance frameworks and sustainability models for social impact initiatives.

Provide technical input and prepare background materials for the opening of the Women’s Entrepreneurship Development Centre in Cambodia.

Provide technical support and support preparations for the 82nd Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific under the priority theme ‘A society for all ages in Asia and the Pacific: ensuring inclusive and sustainable economic growth in a world of rapid demographic transition’.

Support the development of a regional policy paper on advancing women’s economic empowerment in the digital, green, and care economies, by preparing first draft paper.

Liaise with partners and provide technical input to support the issuance of a regional grant programme that enables the roll-out of innovative care enterprise initiatives and models that promote care entrepreneurship and reduce women’s unpaid care work.

Capture and document good practices, lessons learned, and success stories from grant-supported initiatives for knowledge sharing.

Gender-based violence (GBV)
The IRC has been working for nearly 30 years on programming focused on preventing and responding to violence against the groups at highest risk in acute emergency and humanitarian contexts. Violence Prevention and Response (VPR) or ‘Safety’ programs are implemented in over 30 countries, by IRC directly and in partnership with non-governmental organizations and / or Ministries serving women, children, and other diverse populations.

Job Overview/Summary:

Violence Prevention and Response in Emergencies (VPRIE) is a program area that sits jointly within IRC’s Emergency Unit (EmU) and VPR Unit. With few predictable and effective protection service providers in emergencies, there are major gaps in scale and scope to provide effective life-saving and life-sustaining VPR interventions to emergency-affected populations. In acute crises, VPRIE responses focus on four core service offerings: Social Work in Emergencies, Focused Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Interventions, Responsive Information Services in Emergencies, and Community Risk Mitigation and Access. These interventions are complementary and mutually reinforcing, designed to mitigate and respond to the most urgent protection threats facing emergency-affected communities in all their diversity.

The Protection Technical Advisor (VPRIE) will work under the supervision of the Senior Technical Advisor for Violence Prevention and Response in Emergencies, and in close collaboration with Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Emergency Surge Team (EST) technical coordinators across protection specializations and other key EmU, Quality in Emergencies (QiE), and VPRU focal points. The role will support delivery of IRC’s vision for emergencies in Strategy100, including: coordination and socialization of VPRIE program toolkits for emergencies; support to strategic workstreams that contribute to emergency safety outcomes and learning objectives; and provision of quality and responsive emergency-focused technical assistance to VPRIE interventions at the IRC across the emergency response continuum.

Job Requirements:

Work Experience: At least 5 years of experience of program strategy development and implementation at country and global level in child protection, GBV, protection, and related humanitarian programs.

Field Experience: At least 3 years of direct experience managing program teams in humanitarian settings

Demonstrated Skills and Competencies:

Demonstrated expertise in child protection, GBV, protection, mental health, or related field

Experience with project design, proposal development, and fundraising with diverse donors

Proven experience with coordination of internal and external stakeholders, or management of interagency projects / programs

Strong leadership, organizational, and time-management skills; proven ability to prioritize and deliver on time, both independently and with teams

Effectiveness in bridging conceptual frameworks and practical guidance, and conveying complex information for use in programmatic decision making

Excellent interpersonal skills and demonstrated ability to develop constructive, results-oriented relationships with global, local and remote team members

Ability to work with multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary teams

Ability to manage and work through change in a proactive and positive manner

Ability to work both independently and in a dynamic, cross-functional team structure

Structured thinking, excellence in oral and written communication skills

Language Skills: excellent written and verbal English; working competency in French, Spanish or Arabic strongly preferred
