For every child, a bright future

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child in all programs and operations, utilizing an equity strategy that prioritizes the most disadvantaged and excluded children to ensure they have equal opportunities to survive and develop without discrimination.

This strategic focus is critical because evidence suggests that investing in the health, education, and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens not only fulfills human rights mandates but also leads to the sustained growth and stability of countries.

To execute this vision, the Global Programme Division (GPD) drives programme excellence by providing global strategic leadership, developing standards, and generating high-impact, evidence-based solutions that link global policy with on-the-ground action.

Complementing this structure, Centres of Excellence (CoEs) located in Nairobi, Panama, Amman, and Bangkok provide high-quality, demand-driven technical assistance to Country and Regional Offices, functioning as a single point of entry for support in policy reform, at-scale programme design, public finance, and institutional strengthening. By delivering this tailored assistance, the CoEs also ensure that global policy standards are informed by practical knowledge gained from implementation.

Ultimately, the organization aims to bridge the gap between high-level advocacy and on-the-ground implementation to protect the world’s most vulnerable populations.

The PSC Hub supports division-wide performance management, planning, monitoring, reporting, and analytics. As REACH becomes an increasingly important platform for managing and monitoring technical assistance, the Hub requires dedicated junior-level support to develop practical processes, maintain performance information, and prepare the metrics and visual products needed for oversight and reporting.
