As one of the world's leading humanitarian organizations dedicated to championing the rights and well-being of children worldwide, UNICEF operates in “dynamic and sometimes challenging environments,” said Sajid Ali, deputy director of the human resources division at the U.N. agency.
This is why they are on the lookout for candidates with “strong people management skills, demonstrated capability to work effectively in emergency situations, versatile multisector skills, and fluency in a second United Nations language,” Ali said.
UNICEF was established in December of 1946 during the aftermath of World War II and has since evolved into a cornerstone of global efforts to address the most pressing challenges facing children and adolescents, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. From providing vaccines and access to clean water to promoting education and protection from violence, UNICEF's work is present in over 190 countries and territories.
