UNICEF Nigeria Jobs, February 27th 2015
UNICEF Nigeria is supporting the Government of Nigeria to strengthen
prevention of and response all forms of violence against children. In
particular, assistance will be provided to strengthen the child
protection system, including through modelling the system in four
States, in order to demonstrate the impact of a well-functioning child
protection system, to develop a common model for
operationalizing the
Child Rights Act at State level and to develop standardized tools,
including regulations, working protocols and training manuals to govern
the system.
The emergency in the northeast of Nigeria has led to large scale
displacement of civilians with the Presidential Initiative for the North
East (PINE) estimating 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs)
in the six states of the Northeast. The increasing number of
unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), including children orphaned
in the ongoing hostilities, is a growing issue of concern. There is a
pressing need for the Child Protection Programme to scale up its
interventions in North East to meet the needs of UASC, and in particular
to support alternative care for UASC and the establishment and
implementation of family tracing and reunification mechanisms.
If you are a passionate and committed professional and want to make a
lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights
organization would like to hear from you.
