📝 Description du poste : UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.And we never give up.For every child, OpportunitiesThe objective of this consultancy is to lead a functional review and skills gap analysis of the UNICEF Venezuela Country Office structure, taking into account current funding constraints and the programme planned for implementation in 2026. The process should be consultative and inclusive, ensuring the participation of all office staff and empowerment of all management levels.How can you make a difference?In recent years, the global surge in children’s needs has significantly increased the demand for financial resources. However, recent reductions in Official Development Assistance (ODA) from several traditional partners highlight the urgent need to safeguard and strengthen the capacity of UNICEF and its partners to continue delivering essential services to children. The current trajectory of ODA suggests a more constrained humanitarian and development funding environment in the short to medium term.Over the past five years, UNICEF Venezuela has significantly expanded its operations across the country, addressing the needs of children and advocating for their rights in multiple regions. Considering the global funding downturn, the office must now prioritize its core activities and ensure that its workforce is optimally aligned with its strategic objectives.To support this transition, UNICEF Venezuela is recruiting an Organizational Development Consultant to lead a functional review and skills gap analysis of the office structure. This initiative is a key component of the September 2025 Programme Budget Review (PBR) and aligns with UNICEF’s global Future Focus Initiative, which emphasizes efficiency and innovation. The goal is to ensure that the office has a fit-for-purpose structure that can sustain the implementation of the Country Programme over the next two years.The outcomes of this consultancy are:– A detailed roadmap outlining the scope, key phases of the process and the approach for engaging stakeholders and colleagues.– A structured functional review report analyzing the functions needs based on the Programme 2026, and assessing their relevance, efficiency and alignment with institutional objectives. The report will identify redundancies, overlap, areas of efficiencies and propose ways to optimize functions.– A comprehensive skills gap analysis offering clear recommendations for the evolution of the office structure with a special focus on efficiency and innovation and based on current and future programme needs.This process aims to provide inputs to support strategic decision-making for the SMT. It ensures that all colleagues are collectively consulted and well-informed about the progress of this exercise. Innovative ideas allowing for gains in efficiency and effectiveness are encouraged.The proposed methodology consists of the following:1. Define the objective and scope of application– Meet with the Senior Management Team and selected managers to understand the need and confirm the methodology2. Involve stakeholders and communicate– Develop a roadmap to identify the phases of the project, to define the participation of colleagues (bilateral interviews and focus group discussions)– Develop a communication plan from the outset that identifies and plans communication channels and communication points on this specific project3.Collect data in bilateral discussions and/or focus group discussions, ensuring all staff participation
