The Humanitarian and Fragile Contexts Branch provides global strategic direction, technical and operational support for UNFPA’s activities in all humanitarian settings, focusing on reproductive health, gender/GBV, and population and related data issues. 

The increased demand for UNFPA to respond to humanitarian situations has led to a doubling of the organization’s humanitarian requirements, from $78 million in 2006 to $308 million in 2017 –the largest ever appeal in UNFPA 's history. This growing trend mirrors the global humanitarian trends. More is expected of UNFPA than ever before to provide life-saving assistance.

With a primary focus on monitoring/evaluation, data analysis and results-based management, this consultancy will contribute to development of humanitarian programming systems. This includes systems and tools that enhance results-based management and effective delivery of Humanitarian programming at the Global, Regional, and Country programmes levels. This also includes identifying opportunities to mainstream/institutionalize the Humanitarian operations and processes within the corporate infrastructure and help mitigate risk in related processes.
