UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

Job Title: Planning Specialist, (NOC), Accra, Ghana # 63173
Job Number: 517982 | Vacancy Link
Locations: Africa: Ghana
Work Type : Fixed Term Staff

For every child,

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, always and in everything the organization does in programs, in advocacy and in operations. UNICEF is committed to ensure special protection for the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, and to translate this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, all children should have the opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life – in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions – her or his rights are violated. Evidence shows that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential. It will also lead to sustained growth and stability of countries which can accelerate progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the inclusive and equitable development of nation.

Ghana is a lower middle-income country experiencing a period of sustained political stability and economic growth, averaging 5.5 percent for 2018-2022. Its underlying political stability is expected to endure and support continued economic transformation. Ghana enjoys relatively positive social development trends, including in the areas of health, education and social protection with reduced rates of infant and under-5 mortality, stunting and child poverty. However, significant disparities in development outcomes continue to disproportionately affect rural populations and especially poor families with children. Ghana continues to be affected by persistent development challenges, including increased inequality, slowed poverty reduction with increased extreme poverty in some parts of the country. Overall, a significant unfinished development agenda for children remains to be addressed in Ghana, particularly for children and young people. 38 percent of Ghana’s population is below 15 years of age. UNICEF partners with the Government of Ghana to strengthen social systems that can advance the realization of children’s rights domestically. Under the framework of the UNICEF-Government of Ghana Country Programme of Cooperation (2018-2022), UNICEF is leveraging national and international capacity, knowledge, and technology in priority areas such as health and nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene, quality basic education, and the protection of children from violence, abuse and exploitation.
