Fixed Term Appointment

Calcutta

NO-2

India

Categories:
WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene)

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, AN ADVOCATE:


The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programs, 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.

Job Organizational Context
West Bengal is the 4th most populous and 2nd most densely populated state in India.

Urban population is at 31.89% of the total population.

About 68% of the total and about 84% of the urban population of the state is concentrated in 10 river-bank districts.


West Bengal is situated in eastern part of India stretching from Himalayas crossing the Ganges up to the Bay of Bengal.

The state has three international boundaries with Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh.

Because of its varied geography, the state is vulnerable to different types of recurring natural hazards such as floods, cyclones, droughts and landslides exacerbated by climate change impact.

This vulnerability and emerging environmental degradation also leads to vector borne diseases and nutrition crisis in certain pockets of state including urban.


In view of the complex state scenario in terms of overall development indicators and WASH indicators in particular, and also on account of the 'partner of preference' status accorded to UNICEF in the state, there is huge expectation from nodal Departments for comprehensive support to the Government of West Bengal.


WASH program narrative in the state is evolving in terms of addressing comprehensive environmental sanitation, cleanliness and hygiene beyond toilets, providing access to household and institutional tap connections for running water as per defined standards, expanding from rural centric interventions to including most vulnerable urban population segments, prioritizing infection prevention control in critical institutions and in communities, addressing climate change resiliency and risk informed components in all planned interventions.


UNICEF West Bengal intends to effectively respond to these emerging requirements while factoring equity, gender and risk informed development planning for sustainable service delivery to at risk communities.
