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,

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

UNICEF has developed a multi-country plan to protect the rights of children and adolescents in migration contexts, called "Children on the Move" . UNICEF offices in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico are participating in this initiative. The plan offers a comprehensive approach and specific actions to address the rights of children and adolescents, who are following the migration route in the countries of origin, transit, destination and return.

In Mexico, UNICEF is working with civil society organizations to develop field experiences on alternatives to detention, psychosocial support and articulated social and community services for migrant children and adolescents, asylum seekers and refugees. The initiative is aimed at the professionalization of the shelters that receive migrant children and their connection with the state institutions to guarantee their rights in Mexico. To date, the initiative has been implemented in nine shelters for migrant children and adolescents in five of the country's states (Chiapas, Tabasco, Veracruz, Tamaulipas and Mexico City).

Additionally, in the last months, there has been a considerably increase in migration in the country, due to several migrant caravans, coming mainly from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, that have crossed the Mexican territory and have begun to settle in Mexico, waiting for an opportunity to enter into the Unites States. This situation has caused a humanitarian crisis in the country that has forced UNICEF Mexico to respond and extend the strategies developed by the Children on the Move initiative to the state of Chiapas and other areas of the northern border, as part of its own strategies to respond to the emergency. Therefore, to address the latter UNICEF Mexico will open soon a Field Office in Tapachula, Chiapas.

Under the direct supervision of the Field Office Manager in Tapachula, the Child Protection Officer will provide professional technical assistance and support the section by carrying out the specific activities and responsibilities listed below, to help develop, implement and monitor the "Children on the Move" multi-country initiative's Action Plan in Mexico, and the emergency response actions undertaken to face the migration crisis in the country, ensuring effective and timely delivery that is consistent with UNICEF's rules and regulations in Tapachula.

UNICEF Mexico currently has adolescent development as of its key components and one of the five programme outcomes. In 2018, UNICEF Mexico commissioned the development of a comprehensive strategy on adolescents which maps out on-going efforts and shows a road map of priorities for the programme. Adolescent programming is cross-cutting and is implemented by different sectors and areas of the office. Currently, there are considerable opportunities in the areas of child protection (on violence prevention), education (participation, education models for adolescent at risks) and in health and nutrition (addressing obesity and overweight). There is a close link between the work on adolescents and gender, given the potentials to work on gender-violence prevention, empowerment of girls and the construction of enabling environments that address discriminatory social norms.

The Adolescent Development Officer (Gender) is responsible for the implementation of programming on adolescent development, mainly but not only the focus of one of the four outcomes of the country programme. Further, the Officer will act as a focal point on gender for the Office. Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Representative, the Adolescent Development Officer (Gender) provides professional technical, operational and administrative assistance throughout the programming process to support the integration of adolescent development and participation as well as gender in programmes/projects within the Country Programme. The Officer is responsible for preparing, executing, managing and implementing a variety of technical and administrative programme tasks to support the development and formulation of the adolescent development, participation and gender programmes/projects within the Country Programme.

Overview

International Business & Technical Consultants, Inc. (IBTCI), a U.S. based international development consulting company established in 1987, has worked in over one hundred countries and implemented over three hundred projects. IBTCI serves government agencies, private sector companies, and several donor agencies. IBTCI specializes in Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) across many sectors including, but not limited to, conflict and crisis, democracy and governance, economic growth, education, environment, and global health.

Assignment Title:Data Analyst, Mexico

Department/Location: CCG

Technical Point of Contact: Project Director/Chief of Party

Type:Consultant

Classification:Consultancy

Overview:

Over the last decade, Mexico has made notable progress in building and strengthening systems of accountability and oversight. Constitutional, legal, and regulatory reforms have expanded government capacity in internal control and oversight and help to ensure citizens right of access to information.

The National Anti-Corruption System (NAS), which entered into force in 2017, establishes a space where citizens, local governments, and federal institutions can converge to defeat corruption. However, uneven political will and capacity limitations have hindered its full implementation.

The complex system poses a significant learning curve for national and local government officials and Mexican citizens more broadly. Further adding to this complexity, a new Mexican administration took office in December 2018, following a sweeping electoral victory for the Morena party in both national and state-level elections. Though anti-corruption was a core campaign promise of new President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), as of March 2019, the new administration is still developing specific policy frameworks to address the issue.

Establishing the National Anti-Corruption System was an important first step, but it will not be effective unless there is relevant and high-quality information that can help explain why programs are succeeding or failing and can provide recommendations for how best to adapt to improve performance, program design, management or operational decision making.

IBTCI is seeking a Data Analyst to conduct a retrospective analysis of multiple USAID interventions in the area of anti-corruption in order to verify results, extract lessons learned and best practices, and document challenges. LOCALS PREFERRED

Assignment Title: Evaluator - The evolution of the National Anticorruption System (NAS) in Mexico

Department/Location: *CCG*

Technical Point of Contact: *Project Director/Chief of Party*

Type: *Consultant*

Classification:Consultancy

Overview:

Over the last decade, Mexico has made notable progress in building and strengthening systems of accountability and oversight. Constitutional, legal, and regulatory reforms have expanded government capacity in internal control and oversight and help to ensure citizens right of access to information.

The National Anti-Corruption System (NAS), which entered into force in 2017, establishes a space where citizens, local governments, and federal institutions can converge to defeat corruption. However, uneven political will and capacity limitations have hindered its full implementation.

The complex system poses a significant learning curve for national and local government officials and Mexican citizens more broadly. Further adding to this complexity, a new Mexican administration took office in December 2018, following a sweeping electoral victory for the Morena party in both national and state-level elections. Though anti-corruption was a core campaign promise of new President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), as of March 2019, the new administration is still developing specific policy frameworks to address the issue.

Establishing the National Anti-Corruption System was an important first step, but it will not be effective unless there is relevant and high-quality information that can help explain why programs are succeeding or failing and can provide recommendations for how best to adapt to improve performance, program design, management or operational decision making.

IBTCI is seeking an Evaluator to conduct a retrospective analysis of multiple USAID interventions in the area of anticorruption in order to verify results, extract lessons learned and best practices, and document challenges. MEXICAN NATIONALS ONLY.

Assignment Title: Senior Rule of Law Specialist Monitoring Support, Mexico

Department/Location: *CCG*

Technical Point of Contact: *Project Director/Chief of Party*

Type: *Consultant*

Classification:Consultancy

Overview:

The Government of Mexico (GOM) is undertaking a complete overhaul of its criminal justice system, replacing closed-door procedures and written arguments with an adversarial system based on public, oral trials. The criminal justice reform seeks to improve the transparency, effectiveness, and efficiency of the criminal justice process, while protecting due process, promoting assistance to crime victims, and strengthening human rights.

A 2008 Constitutional amendment required all state and federal jurisdictions to make the transition from the inquisitorial system to the accusatorial system by 2016, and USAID/Mexico is committed to supporting Mexico in this monumental endeavor, which continues well beyond this date.

PROJUST, the USAID s Program to support for criminal justice reform in Mexico, is implemented by Management Systems International in a teaming agreement with TetraTech DPK. The changes in the field, the different pace of implementation of the reform in the states, and the shift in federal counterparts have meant that PROJUST s results frameworks has had two major revisions since it started, the last one in 2017, one year after the Constitutional deadline of June 2016.

The new PROJUST results framework emphasizes the importance of showing substantial progress on indicators relevant to the reduction of impunity. Some illustrative progress indicators are listed below:

1. Annual Prosecution Rates.
2. Compliance with Precautionary Measures from Pretrial Service Units.
3. Percentage of Plea Agreements.
4. Percentage of cases resolved through Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms with compensation agreement.
5. Case Disposition Rates
6. Percentage of cases with sentences greater than 3 years.
