UNICEF seeks experts on most vulnerable populations

The United Nations Children’s Fund is increasingly looking for development professionals with strong communication skills and experience serving the hardest-to-reach people around the world.

That’s because UNICEF has adopted an equity-based approach to development aid, focusing its assistance on those who, geographically or socially, are the most deprived.

Language skills – especially French – are particularly interesting to the U.N. agency right now, says Rolf Schaller, UNICEF’s chief of recruitment and staffing.

Schaller was the featured guest speaker in the fifth installment of the Devex Career Webinar Series titled “Ask the Recruiter: Jobs with UNICEF,” recorded May 4. Now available online, the one-hour webinar features a presentation by Schaller, as well as a question-and-answer period during which the U.N. recruiter responds to questions submitted live by Devex webinar participants.
