UNICEF Ecuador Country Programme is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF The vision of the Ecuador Country Programme of Cooperation is that children and adolescents, both girls and boys, especially the most disadvantaged, deprived and hard-to-reach and those affected by crises, live and participate in resilient communities, enjoying a protective, nurturing and supportive environment that allows them to unlock their full potential throughout their lives.

UNICEF Ecuador Country Office supports the achievements of the national development plan as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our country programme in Ecuador with interventions in Health, Nutrition, Child Protection, Education, Social Policy, WASH and CEED. UNICEF Ecuador also leads on humanitarian response to the migrants and refugee crisis, natural disasters and violence. As a result of these multiple shocks, vulnerabilities and exclusion, the CO prioritized field presence in three provinces and three municipalities affected by the prolonged crisis of human mobility (humanitarian outposts) as part of the CPD

The main goal of the country office's proposed field presence is to support coordinated cross-sectoral programme implementation, an effective humanitarian response at decentralized level, while strengthening the capacity of partners and government actors, promoting outcomes focused on empowerment and equality for women and children. This strengthening will seek to achieve programmatic and operational sustainability in local contexts with challenging and changing scenarios, including disaster preparedness, resilience building and forward-looking risk analysis, to trigger a rapid response to sudden onset emergencies or conflict situations, including coordinated action with the United Nations System (UN) in the field. The strengthened field presence will also allow a sustained approach to monitoring of the situation of children and bottlenecks that hinder the fulfillment of women and children's rights, especially in remote or chronically excluded areas of the prioritized provinces. Similarly, a strong field presence will improve monitoring of the goals achieved by UNICEF partners, including the government and civil society. It also provides UNICEF a greater political and community credibility in a country with significant political, ethnic, and geographic diversities.

The Chief Field Operations is responsible for coordination and management of all field program operations as well as humanitarian-related issues in the office ranging from policy development to support in fund-raising.

Under the supervision of the Representative, the Chief of Field Operations is responsible for:

  • The management of field offices and humanitarian outposts' presence, including planning, implementation, monitoring of program related activities at sub-national level, as well as emergency preparedness and response, ensuring coherence and comprehensiveness across the humanitarian-development nexus programme.
  • Supporting the Representative, in close collaboration with the Deputy Representative, in effective and strategic coordination between sub-national and national levels to promote the achievement of impact outcomes and an effective and efficient humanitarian response.
  • The supervision of Chief of Field Offices and Emergency Officer, managing the performance of the field offices and the management of the technical staff in the FOs in coordination with the Chief of Field Offices through a matrix management arrangement with the chiefs of program areas.
  • Advising the Representative on her security and emergency management responsibilities under the UN Accountability Framework and on the conduct of security operations in support of program activities.

  • An advanced university degree (Master's or higher) in any of the following: Social Sciences, Public Administration, International Relations, Business Administration, Public or Social Policy, Sociology, Social or Community Development, or other fields related to the work of UNICEF.
