Multistakeholder engagement consultant, Manila, Philippines, Remotely, 6 months. (Req#593874)

Organizational Context

UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do for as long as we are needed. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling.

Job Purpose

The purpose of this consultancy is to provide engagement leadership to operationalize two multistakeholder partnerships: the Children’s WASH SDG Fund and the People’s Survival Fund Plus. The Multistakeholder Engagement Partner will convene partners, establish and manage a private sector membership offer, and develop partner-facing communications and fundraising materials that strengthen pipeline development, partnership conversions, and sustained engagement in support of equitable, climate-resilient outcomes for children and communities in the Philippines. This role is crucial for mobilizing and stewarding private sector and philanthropic contributions to accelerate progress towards SDG 6.1 and 6.2, and to support climate-resilient social services in selected local government units.

Responsibilities

In collaboration with the Government of the Philippines, UNICEF Philippines is establishing a Children’s WASH SDG Fund campaign as a multi-stakeholder platform to mobilize and steward private sector and philanthropic contributions in support of equitable, climate-resilient water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) outcomes for children and communities in the Philippines. The Fund is expected to mobilize and manage at least USD 10 million over a five-year period from 2026 to 2030. The Fund aims to accelerate progress toward SDG 6.1 and 6.2 by enabling partners to align behind common priorities, evidence-based solutions and measurable results, with particular attention to underserved and low-access areas. In addition, UNICEF Philippines is mobilizing partners to support the People’s Survival Fund (PSF) Plus, a flagship adaptation project proposed for international climate finance that would provide climate resilient social services in selected local government units (LGUs). The PSF Plus would provide an opportunity for public, private sector and philanthropic cofinancing. The PSF Plus is expected to begin in 2027 and run for a five-year period. The consultant will support partnership engagement by convening stakeholders, developing and managing a private sector membership offer, and creating partner-facing communications and fundraising materials.
