United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund Tender

Unicef Has Now Issued A Request For Proposals In Order To Select A Supplier For The Provision Of Office Door Access Control System Upgrade For Unicef Office Malawi *************************************************************************************************** Backgroung And Objectives The Fundamental Mission Of Unicef Is To Promote The Rights Of Every Child, Everywhere, In Everything The Organization Does — In Programs, In Advocacy And In Operations. The Equity Strategy, Emphasizing The Most Disadvantaged And Excluded Children And Families, Translates This Commitment To Children’s Rights Into Action. For Unicef, Equity Means That All Children Have An Opportunity To Survive, Develop And Reach Their Full Potential, Without Discrimination, Bias, Or Favouritism. To The Degree That Any Child Has An Unequal Chance In Life — In Its Social, Political, Economic, Civic, And Cultural Dimensions — Her Or His Rights Are Violated. There Is Growing Evidence That Investing In The Health, Education And Protection Of A Society’s Most Disadvantaged Citizens — Addressing Inequity — Not Only Will Give All Children The Opportunity To Fulfil Their Potential But Also Will Lead To Sustained Growth And Stability Of Countries. This Is Why The Focus On Equity Is So Vital. It Accelerates Progress Towards Realizing The Human Rights Of All Children, Which Is The Universal Mandate Of Unicef, As Outlined By The Convention On The Rights Of The Child, While Also Supporting The Equitable Development Of Nations. However, Despite Decades Of Strong Work In These Sectoral Areas, Inequity Remains. While Progress Is Being Made, Something Different Is Required To Accelerate Progress Towards Not Just Long Term And Sustainable Development Improvements. One Method Of Driving A Significant Impact For The Most Vulnerable And Excluded Children Who May Still Be Left Behind, Is Also The Effective Use Of Emerging Technologies Like The Access Control System For Safety And Security Of Staff And Organization Main Assets Installed In The Premises. Strategic Office Context: Unicef Malawi Country Office (mco) Administration Unit Aims At Providing Reliable And Enhanced Access Control System To Secure The Premises For More Staff Safety And Security And The Same Time Secure The Infrastructure And Assets Used To Deliver The Country Programme.
