About the UNICEF Vacancy
Consultant (Data Governance Fit for Children), Data Team Vacancy at UNICEF. The Division of Data, Analytics, Planning and Monitoring (DAPM) was established in 2019 to drive decision making and organizational learning, improve effectiveness and achievement of results of UNICEF and its partners to realize the rights and improve the life of every child. DAPM promotes the use of data and monitoring to achieve transformative impact on the lives of children.
Within DAPM, the Data Team (DaT) is the global go-to for data on children. It leads the collection, validation, analysis, use, and communication of the most statistically sound, internationally comparable data on the situation of children and women around the world. For this purpose, both traditional and innovative data and analysis – including administrative and household survey data as well as geospatial analysis, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence – are used.
The Chief Data Office in the DaT team is hiring a Consultant (Data Governance Fit for Children) as key support role to define and drive practices to ensure that data from and about children and data technologies (including statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence) are used to advance child rights, not (accidentally or intentionally) to erode them.
Combining hands-on field support with sustained dialogue with key stakeholders, including children and young people, the consultant will support the strategic expansion of the framework. The work will help derive practice-informed insight that will in turn inform the development of DG4C content, tools, frameworks, and guidance for self-enablement at UNICEF and beyond. The consultant will also support communication and advocacy efforts to strengthen the positioning of both DG4C as the global framework and UNICEF as the lead actor in responsible data and data technology practices concerning data for and about children.
