Job Description

Last Mile Supply Management & Programme Planning and Monitoring Consultant

AGORA

Role Description UNICEF delivers a significant volume of programme supplies to implementing partners (government and CSOs) as a core modality for achieving results for children. In 2024 alone, approximately US$1.44 billion in supplies were transferred to partners globally, underscoring the importance of strengthening oversight, monitoring, and accountability of programme supplies across the full results cycle. While robust risk management mechanisms exist for cash transfers (HACT), programme supplies have historically been managed through parallel systems and processes, limiting their systematic integration into programme planning, monitoring, reporting, and risk management. This gap has been highlighted by internal and external audits, including OIAI and UNBOA, particularly with respect to last‑mile visibility, monitoring of pre‑positioned supplies, and assurance over use at community level. In response, UNICEF is advancing the Last Mile Supply Monitoring (LMSM) solution and related digital and procedural enhancements to ensure that programme supplies are fully embedded within results management, rather than treated as a standalone supply chain function. The purpose of this consultancy is to support UNICEF in integrating last mile supply data, analytics, and processes into programme planning, implementation, monitoring, risk management, and reporting, with a particular focus on: - LMSM operationalization and guidance - Integration with Field Monitoring Module (FMM), eTools, RAM, and planning tools - Strengthening risk‑based monitoring and assurance for programme supplies - Addressing audit observations through practical, system‑enabled solutions Qualifications - Advanced university degree (Master's degree) in Programme Management, Supply Chain, Monitoring & Evaluation, Public Policy, Data/Information Systems, or related fields. - Minimum 10–12 years of professional experience in: - Programme planning, monitoring, risk management, or results‑based management - Work experience in humanitarian/development contexts - Development or Application of planning, implementation and monitoring procedures and guidance at HQ/regional/country level - Demonstrated experience working with: - Digital tools for monitoring and reporting (eTools, dashboards, analytics platforms) - Programme assurance, audits, and risk frameworks - Experience working across HQ–RO–CO structures in large international organizations especially UN - Abilities to work with multicultural teams - Strong English writing and communication skills; a second UN language is a plus Requirements - UNICEF’s Core Values of Care, Respect, Integrity, Trust and Accountability and Sustainability (CRITAS) underpin everything we do and how we do it. - UNICEF promotes and advocates for the protection of the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything it does. - UNICEF encourages applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of gender, nationality, religious or ethnic backgrounds, and from people with disabilities, including neurodivergence. - UNICEF does not hire candidates who are married to children (persons under 18). - UNICEF has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UNICEF. - All selected candidates will undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Benefits - Diverse opportunities for professional and personal development. - Attractive compensation and benefits package.
