Local Consultant: Technical Support to Emergency Preparedness and Response Initiative

The consultant will provide technical, operational, and administrative support to UNICEF Philippines' Climate, Environment and Resilience (CER) Section/Emergency Unit to strengthen humanitarian preparedness, capacity building, knowledge management, and emergency response support in line with UNICEF's Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action (CCCs).

Technical support will include assistance in risk analysis, preparedness & response planning, Emergency Preparedness Platform (EPP) benchmark tracking, emergency documentation, standby partnership readiness, anticipatory action inputs, emergency reporting, & field assessment or coordination support.

Operational & administrative support will include inter-section coordination, follow-up on preparedness actions, simulation & training support, maintenance of action trackers, organization of meetings & workshops, consolidation of inputs, records management, preparation of materials, & logistical follow-up related to preparedness & response activities.

Given the Philippines' high exposure to natural hazards, climate-related risks, public health emergencies, & conflict-related displacement, UNICEF requires sustained support to ensure that preparedness & response systems remain functional, coordinated, measurable, & responsive to the needs of children & vulnerable populations.
The assignment will make a practical contribution to UNICEF Philippines' preparedness & response capacity through updated risk analysis & preparedness planning inputs, completed preparedness benchmarks, organized emergency documentation, timely emergency reports & briefing materials, documented training/simulation outputs, maintained action trackers, & field-level coordination or assessment support where required.
