Consultancy Title: Design/Development of UNICEF’s Local Market Influencing Framework

Location: Home based, with travel to Copenhagen, Denmark (twice for 2-3 working days with paid Daily Subsistence Allowance)

Duration: 2.5 months over the period of 4 months (approximately)

Start Date: January 2018

Reporting to: Chief, Markets, Supplier Financing and Innovation Centre, UNICEF Supply Division, Copenhagen.

BACKGROUND:

As part of its 2018-2021 Strategic Plan, UNICEF is committed to continue to influence global and local markets for children, including pursuing a research and development pipeline of vaccines, medicines and technologies for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal targets. This will require attention to reducing market barriers that inhibit access to essential supplies for children.

In support of the above, UNICEF Supply Division (SD) is launching its Products and Markets global supply strategy that seeks to influence global and local markets collaboratively, for existing and future products/services, by incentivizing R&D and accelerating scale-up of fit-for-purpose products, and addressing access, affordability and value for money, to improve the lives of all children.

Over the years, UNICEF has honed expertise and processes to encourage innovation of essential commodities and products for children, and to influence markets including through targeted deployment of supply financing tools to ensure commodities and products are accessible, affordable, appropriate, and produced by a competitive supply base. For the 2018-2021 OMP, UNICEF will seek to address the unfinished MDG agenda but also to tackle new challenges and contribute to the realization of child rights in changing contexts as articulated in the SDGs, for example to tackle climate change, urbanization, migration, neglected infectious diseases as well as non-communicable diseases. While these challenges will demand new or augmented programmatic responses, some may necessitate new products and markets.

Over the next 10-15 year horizon, many countries, including in parts of Africa, will transition to middle income country status. These transitions will result in reduced donor support, scale up of domestic financing, but also an increased ambition by programme country governments to source products locally.

Local production offers several benefits including proximity to programmes; it facilitates product tailoring to meet local needs; it can support broader economic development goals. Governments have therefore been increasingly expressing their preference for certain products to be developed and produced in-country or ‘on continent’.

While UNICEF has already been successful in procuring at least half of its products from programme countries, these shifts will increase the need for UNICEF to translate its successful market influencing agenda to local markets.

Against this backdrop and as part of its Products and Markets global supply strategy, UNICEF SD seeks to devise a framework that can help guide UNICEF Regional and Country Offices’ efforts to positively influence local markets for strategic essential commodities for children.

In Niger, natural disasters (including drought, flooding, and pest invasions), Boko Haram-related
conflict, and an influx of refugees from Nigeria and Mali have exacerbated food insecurity
among vulnerable communities. The majority of households in Niger face chronic food
insecurity due to structural vulnerabilities, including reliance on subsistence rain-fed agriculture
with increasing rainfall variance and harsh climatic conditions. In Niger's Diffa region, ongoing
Boko Haram-related conflict, an influx of Nigeria refugees, and internal population displacement
have left local populations in a dire situation and highly food insecure. Additionally, land
degradation and climate change have exacerbated food insecurity and weakened the resilience of
Diffa residents.

To improve food security and reduce malnutrition, FFP provided more than $76
million in emergency and development food assistance in FY 2016. In partnership with the UN
World Food Program, the UN Children's Fund, and NGO pmtners, FFP provides critical food
assistance to displaced persons, refugees, and host communities in Niger through a combination
of U.S. in-kind food, locally and regionally procured food, cash transfers, and food vouchers.
FFP also supports three multi-year development food assistance programs, which aim to reduce
food insecurity, malnutrition, and improve community resilience among rural households in the
Maradi and Zinder regions. FFP aligns its programs with USAID's Resilience in the SahelEnhanced
(RISE) initiative to address the root causes of vulnerability and to build resilience in
the Sahel.

The Food For Peace Officer in Niger will serve as a point of contact for NGOS and Public International Organizations (PIOs) such as WFP and UNICEF, US Government representatives, and others on Food for Peace food security issues in country. The FFPO will provide policy recommendations related to implementation of emergency programs, as well as analyze and assess program data from a variety of sources. The incumbent will report on all food security issues, including changes relating to the food security situation, policies, and requirements. They will serve as a food assistance expert to promote integration of food assistance with other programs to increase the effectiveness of the programs overall.

Organizational Context

UNICEF has been achieving important progress on education, child rights, health, nutrition, and WASH in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Challenges remain, though, and despite its vast physical size and limitless natural resources, the DRC poses a complex operational environment in terms of infrastructure challenges. Child poverty is widespread, and according to a recent UNICEF study, 80 percent of children aged zero to 15 years old face at least two major deprivations. DRC is one of the ten countries that account for 60% of the global burden of wasting in children under 5 years old (UNICEF Annual Report 2012). The national average of severe wasting stands at 5.2%, with wide regional disparities.

UNICEF DRC has been supporting government in treating severely malnourished children and in preventing undernutrition through infant and young child feeding (IYCF) activities, provision of vitamin A and deworming and engaging in community based nutrition programming. In addition, UNICEF is working with partners to boost effective interventions in the area of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health. In provinces featuring very high child mortality, UNICEF DRC has been helping to scale up family kits and community case management of child illnesses.

Under the overall direction of the UNICEF Senior Nutrition Specialist, and under the direct supervision of the Emergency Coordinator in Great Kasai, the Nutrition Specialist will ensure the continuation of a more effective response capacity by mobilizing agencies, organizations and NGOs to respond to the humanitarian crisis.

The Specialist provides technical guidance and management support throughout the programming processes to facilitate the administration and achievement of concrete and sustainable results in maternal, infant and child nutrition programs/projects according to plans, allocation, results based-management approaches and methodology (RBM) and UNICEF’s Strategic Plans, standards of performance and accountability framework.
