Child Survival & Development Officer, (NO-1) , Fixed Term, Benghazi, Libya #528901
Job Number: 528901 | Vacancy Link
Locations: Middle East and North Africa: Libya
Work Type : Fixed Term Appointment
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, health
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 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. Through this position the focus will be to contribute in UNICEF Strategic Plan 2018-2021 Goal area 1 “Every Child Survives and Thrives”, Goal Area 4: “Every child lives in a safe and clean environment” and Goal Area 5: “Every child has an equitable chance in life”.
