And we never give up.

**For Every Child, commitment.**

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.

India Country Office (ICO) is UNICEF’s largest non-emergency programme in the world and our outcomes have the biggest impact of any single country on delivery of the SDGs. To successfully deliver the impact agreed with Government of India in the new 5-year agreement and programme plans, ICO needs to create partnerships with significant impact and generate high levels of income. Growth in these areas has been significant in the last 5 years but there are huge opportunities to do more, across the key functions outlined below. This role will play the lead in creating those outcomes and liaising with Communications, Programme, Operations and Field Office teams to embed the works and results in the wider ICO context.
