Child Protection Knowledge Management Officer  

Organizational context

This National UN Volunteer assignment is with UNICEF Indonesia.

Initial contract for 12 months, with the possibility of extension.

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 fulfil 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.

Across the globe, violence against children affects up to one billion children annually and has significant lasting effects that threaten children’s well-being and may persist into adulthood. Additionally, violence against children has substantial economic impact as well as undermining investments in education and health. However, much of this violence is preventable through programs that address root causes and risk factors. Harmful social norms can create a climate in which violence is either encouraged or normalized; to prevent violence against children, adolescents, families and communities must be encouraged to replace harmful norms with non-violent and respective norms and values that encourage positive and gender equitable relationships for all children and adolescents.

The Government of Indonesia has made child protection a priority in its national development plan. UNICEF Indonesia is supporting the Government of Indonesia to address violence through a number of evidence-based programmes in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 5 and 16. In order to ensure that these SDGs are achieved by 2030, the government will need timely access to evidence and data to inform programmes as well as to monitor and evaluate progress. In addition, strong knowledge management to ensure documentation and sharing of good practices and lessons learned as well as to raise the visibility of these programmes at national and sub-national levels is crucial. Finally, communicating results to the public through social media and other channels will support the successfully implementation of child protection programmes.

Under the supervision of the Chief Child Protection, Jakarta, the Child Protection Officer- Knowledge Management provides professional research, data analysis, knowledge management and communication support while learning organizational rules, regulations and procedures to support the development and implementation of the Child Protection Programme within the new Country Programme 2021-2026.
