UNICEF oglas za posao: Early Childhood Development Officer
Job no: 518808
Work type: Fixed Term Staff
Location: Bosnia and Herz
Categories: NO-1, Early Childhood Development
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, Early Childhood Development
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does in programmes, 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 favoritism. 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 fulfill 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 overall goal of the UNICEF BiH country programme is to support the efforts of Bosnia and Herzegovina to accelerate the universal realization of child rights by fostering greater social inclusion, especially of the most vulnerable and excluded children and families: children with disabilities, children of minorities, especially Roma, and children in impoverished communities. Key priorities include child rights monitoring, social protection,justice for children, early childhood education and young child well-being for all children, including children with disabilities and Roma children.
Early Childhood Development (ECD) Officer will support young child well-being component which aims at achieving equitable access to and use of quality IECD services, particularly for vulnerable and excluded families with young children, such as Roma, and families with children with developmental difficulties. Building on previous IECD achievements, remaining bottlenecks will be addressed through the expansion of IECD and early childhood intervention (ECI) services. Immunization will be supported, particularly by closing equity gaps and addressing remaining bottlenecks, especially those related to social norms, service outreach and surveillance systems. ECD Officer reports to the Health and Nutrition (ECD) Specialist.
How can you make a difference?

The incumbent will assist in the development and implementation of inter-sectoral approaches to promoting adequate nutrition, integrated early childhood development and strategies to improve women and children’s health and to mainstream these into ongoing social sector reforms.
