Remarks

The Country enjoys political stability and democratic governance, which provide a favorable environment for child development. The country’s population is very young, with 11.6 million children accounting for half of the total population of 21.4 million. Mozambique’s income per capita is US$ 440,which is well below the sub-Saharan average. However, helped by strong economic growth averaging eight per cent over the past decade, Mozambique is making progress in a number of key human development areas. Mozambique is among the 8 countries piloting enhanced UN coherence and the Delivering as One Approach. The new UNDAF and UNDAF Action Plan cover the period 2012 - 2015. Major challenges are related to persistent, wide-spread poverty combined with inequity; maternal mortality; malaria; HIV; and chronic malnutrition.

Specific requirements:
• Fluency in Portuguese. Fluency in Spanish or French may be a substitute for it provided intensive language training in Portuguese is undertaken.
• Excellent knowledge of DOCO guidelines and agreements, UNICEF programme policies and procedures, combined with sound judgment of what is permissible and is in the interest of children.
• Capacity to effectively participate in the dialogue structures between Government and DPs and to represent UNICEF in the various SWAps and sector coordination fora.
• High proficiency in relating and networking, persuading and influencing and communication to perform political work at high level, including with the private sector.
