The equity strategy, which focuses on the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into concrete action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have the opportunity to survive, develop, and fulfil their potential, free from discrimination, bias, or favouritism. Wherever a child’s chance in life is unequal—socially, politically, economically, civically, or culturally—their rights are compromised. Evidence increasingly demonstrates that investing in the health, education, and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged members—not only enhances opportunities for all children to reach their potential but also contributes to sustained growth and stability within countries. This underscores why a focus on equity is essential. It accelerates progress towards the realisation of all children’s human rights, the universal mandate of UNICEF as articulated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while simultaneously supporting the equitable development of nations How can you make a difference ?   Purpose of the Assignment: The Construction Specialist reports to the Project Manager in Health Section in line with the Country Office (CO) organisational structure and is responsible for coordinating construction activities.
