Job no: 571513
Contract type: Fixed Term Appointment
Duty Station: Abuja
Level: NO-3
Location: Nigeria
Categories: Child Protection

UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.

At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling.

UNICEF is a place where careers are built, we offer our staff diverse opportunities for personal and professional development that will help them develop a fulfilling career while delivering on a rewarding mission. We pride ourselves on a culture that helps staff thrive, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package.

Background

Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) with emphasis on Birth registration and Legal Identity is one of the key programmatic priorities in the UNICEF Nigeria Country Office and is one of West and Central Africa Region’s (WCAR’s) eight Key Results for Children (KRCs). UNICEF Nigeria has made significant progress in birth registration coverage, with a high annual rate of change, in 2023 UNICEF supported the Government of Nigeria through the National Population Council (NPC) and allied ministries, departments and agencies to register over 11 million births of children under the age of five years old.   

Informed by the Regional KRC#7 Multi-Country Formative Evaluation (2021), Nigeria implements three priority strategies endorsed by the AU Africa Programme on Accelerated Improvement of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (APAI-CRVS) to accelerate universal birth registration: digitisation of systems, interoperability, and decentralisation of service delivery. UNICEF Nigeria’s visionary support materialized in 2023 with the establishment of a digital Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system. This transformative platform facilitated digital birth registration services at healthcare points and within communities across 23 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

Complemented by a robust legal framework ensuring data protection and identity theft prevention, the integration of birth registration with primary health care services became a reality. Collaborative efforts with the National Population Commission and National Primary Health Care Development Agency enhance the synergy between civil registration and health, significantly advancing birth registration coverage nationwide.

Ensuring a fixed term staff capacity at the country level to coordinate and support the Nigeria CRVS and legal identity agenda is critical to sustain results in Nigeria by ensuring high quality technical assistance, management of country-wide programmes and initiatives, management of political and financial partnerships, and ensuring coordination between the different UNICEF sections, government Ministries and Departments that contribute to this multi-sectoral agenda.
