    Consultancy: Private Sector Partnership, ESARO, Nairobi

    Under the direct supervision of the Regional Manager, Private Sector Engagement, the consultant will be responsible for supporting key activities in the Private Public Partnership work plan.

    The Seychelles government, in collaboration with UNICEF, conducted a feasibility study in 2016 that determined that there is strong potential to mobilize private sector resources for programmes that support children. Based on these findings, UNICEF committed to recruiting a consultant to support the resource mobilization stream of work. In November 2017, UNICEF conducted a preliminary resource mobilization mission to the Seychelles, and it was decided that the consultant could conduct intermittent missions between February and July 2018. The consultant will be responsible for drafting an investment case for investing in children, a resource mobilization strategy for engaging the private sector and high net worth individuals, and conducting a consultation for these products. In addition, the consultant will provide oversight on the funding mechanism for receiving and managing funds and support capacity building for the Seychellois (national) resource mobilization officer.

    In addition, the consultant will provide targeted support to the ESARO Private Public Partnership team for key events, trainings, and shared value partnerships. In line with the Private Sector Strategy for Sub-Saharan Africa, capacity building at the country and regional levels for shared value partnerships are critical areas to advance in 2018 and 2019. Key events to leverage for training and development are the Africa Partnerships Workshop, Regional Management Team Meetings, and other private sector convening events. The consultant will be responsible for organizing events, including developing the workshop content, consulting with multiple internal and external stakeholders, and managing administrative tasks.

    As the private sector partnership portfolio continues to grow, the consultant would be responsible for supporting specific partnerships and major initiatives, particularly shared value and innovation related partnerships. This form of support would include managing internal programme consultations, liaising with country offices, and developing and refining partnership concepts.
