Mission and objectives

UNICEF was established in 1946 to supply emergency relief to millions of children suffering in the aftermath of World War II. The organization still functions to ease the suffering of millions of children in emergency situations across the world. UNICEF also focuses on the protection and promotion of child rights, working for the survival, protection, education and healthy development of every child.

UNICEF has worked in Jordan since 1952 to promote and protect the rights of children. In the following decades, significant progress has been achieved for children. Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2013, UNICEF has significantly increased its operation to respond to the challenges faced by both refugee children and those in the communities where they live.

Building on the lessons learned from this emergency response, UNICEF Jordan moved to a vulnerability approach in 2018 - supporting interventions that target the most vulnerable children in the country, regardless of their nationality.

Context

The UN Volunteer will be part of the Partnerships Section within the UNICEF Jordan Country Office. The section plays a central role in resource mobilization, donor relations, partnership coordination and strategic reporting, supporting the delivery of UNICEF’s multi‑sectoral Country Programme in Jordan. The programme is implemented in a complex humanitarian and development context within a middle‑income country, balancing responses for refugees with long‑term investments in national systems across education, child protection, health and nutrition, WASH, social protection, and adolescent development. The assignment contributes to strengthening partnership management and high‑quality reporting in a context of increasing resource constraints.

National UN Specialist Volunteers in Jordan are entitled to:

• Monthly Volunteer Living Allowance (VLA) at the amount of JOD 1,145.08;
• Annual and learning leaves;
• Free Medical and life insurance;
• Free access to different learning platforms.
