National Legal Consultant on Child Rights for UNICEF Armenia CO Armenia
Since late 2022, Armenia has received over 115,000 refugees—including 36,000 children—primarily fleeing Nagorno Karabakh due to severe shortages of essentials such as food, medication, and electricity. These children now make up 6% of Armenia’s child population and are vulnerable to mental health and psychosocial challenges. A joint Multi-Sector Needs Assessment by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and UNICEF (2023–2024) found that 26% of refugee households reported at least one emotionally unstable family member. In response, the Human Rights Defender’s Office (HRDO), with UNICEF’s support, is conducting interviews to assess human rights and child rights conditions and will produce an ad-hoc report. A consultant, under UNICEF’s supervision, will analyze findings and develop report chapters, contributing to Outputs 4.1 and 4.2 of the Armenia–UNICEF Country Program 2021–2025.

Deadline extended: Management and Visibility Partnership Support Intern (6 months, Chisinau, Moldova, for Moldova nationals/residents only) Republic of Moldova
Starting with 2016, UNCT Moldova has been implementing the Diversity Internship Program for men, women and persons of diverse gender identities, belonging to different marginalized groups (further referring as Diversity Internship Program). The aim of the internship is, on the one hand, to empower representatives of marginalized groups to further seek employment on the open labor market, and on the other hand to improve diversity within the UN System. The need for increased diversity was confirmed including during the latest 2019 internal UN Moldova Diversity and Equality survey, that identified underrepresentation of people from several groups among the UN staff, including persons with disabilities, Roma and other ethnic or linguistic minorities. The initiative foresees that persons belonging to marginalized groups join as interns for a 4 - 6 months part-time assignment in different programs and projects of UN agencies, being guided by a mentor (staff member of the UN Agency). The assigned tasks in administration, operations, procurement, logistical, communications or programming areas usually differ and grow in their complexity, reflecting also the interns’ specific learning, personal and professional development needs.
