For every child, the right to innovate

UNICEF has a 70‑year legacy of innovation for children. From its base in Copenhagen, the Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub (the Hub) identifies, demonstrates and scales climate‑resilient water and sanitation solutions that can accelerate progress toward a water‑secure future for children and young people. Working with partners and UNICEF country and regional teams, the Hub selects high‑impact, cutting‑edge innovations, adapts them to context, and expands proven solutions from helping thousands in one country to reaching millions across multiple regions through an annually reviewed WASH portfolio focused on the greatest challenges and opportunities for impact.

How can you make a difference?

This role contributes to the work of the Hub by reviewing and adapting the portfolio structure to improve identification of promising solutions and ensure effective support for high‑impact innovations, while also designing a second tier of support for high value solutions that may have lower impact, but are of demonstrable value to for women and children, and would support addressing sustainable WASH services targets in UNICEF
