UNICEF focuses on child survival and development, basic education and gender equality, HIV/AIDS and children, child protection, and policy advocacy and partnerships. UNICEF focuses on the whole child and every aspect of a young child's life to ensure that children around the world are receiving the best care and quality care. A job opening that interests me within UNICEF is in the education department and is Chief Education. This position is located in Abidjan. I would be accountable for formulation, design, planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluation of the Education program to ensure overall efficiency and effectiveness of the program management, delivery and accomplishment of program goals and objectives. The qualifications were to have a master’s in Education or Social Work. It also called for experience and proficiency with MS Office.
UNESCO, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, mission is to contribute to the building of peace, eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information. Their two global priorities are Africa and gender equality. There are no current job openings in the education sector of this organization but I do know this is the sector I would like to work under.
Save the Children is an independent organization dedicated to changing the lives of children in the United States and around the world. They are there when disaster strikes with food, medical care, and education and they stay throughout the recovery period. The position that interests me with this organization is a Program Specialist, Early Childhood. The Program Specialist is the on-the-ground Save the Children staff member providing technical and management assistance to partners to ensure the effective coordination, implementation and monitoring of early childhood education programming. Under the supervision of the Senior ECD Specialist and working as a team member within the State based staff, the Program Specialist oversees the implementation of the integrated programming at approx 5 to 7 partner sites. The requirements are a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood, 3 plus years experience working with birth to 3 years, and experience working with or supporting professional.
The program specialist sounds like a job I would be interested in. Save the Children sounds like a valuable organization for the children of the world.
