The Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT) is under the leadership of the Deputy Representative Operations. Under the supervision of the Operations Manager, there is a team of three staff members directly working on HACT and assurance activities, and the HACT HUB staff who are mainly involved in cash transfer processes.

HACT is a cross-cutting issue and the main framework for cash transfer to partners. HACT comprises four major elements that serve as pillars in implementation of the HACT principles. These are: Capacity assessments, Cash Transfers, Assurance Activities and Capacity Development. Cash transfer to Implementing Partners (IP) represent a significant portion of UNICEF’s financial contribution towards the achievement of its programmatic results. For this reason, it is necessary that we continue to use systems and controls for the purpose of monitoring the status of implementation of activities and to generate and review financial and management reports to identify areas of potential concern. Therefore, an intern will support the HACT team in carrying out assurance activities, upload of reports on eTools, organizing documentation for spot checks and audit for external service providers, and follow up on pending action points.

Assist in compiling data for spot check and audit of external service providers;

Upload spot check and other reports on eTools;
