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.

For every child, hope!
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an 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. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates 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 equitable development of nations.
The efficiency and efficacy of support provided by the Information Management Officer for the Education Cluster to programme preparation, planning and implementation, contributes to the achievement of sustainable results to improve learning outcomes and universal access to quality, equitable and inclusive education. Success in education programmes and projects in turn contribute to maintaining and enhancing the credibility and ability of UNICEF to provide programme services for mothers and children that promotes greater social equality in the country.

How can you make a difference?
Under the supervision of the Cluster Coordinator P3 and in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and International Development stakeholders, the Information Management officer is a core part of the Education cluster Coordination team and facilitates information and knowledge management/exchange within the Sectors led by UNICEF, implementing partners to enhance the emergency response, humanitarian situation analysis/updates and humanitarian performance monitoring/reporting.

Systems facilitating the collection of information as well as analysis, reporting, and sharing will be the responsibility of the IMO. The IMO will be expected to either adapt or maintain existing systems, and in some cases suggest alternative approaches based on common templates available at the global level.
