UNICEF East Asia and Pacific Regional Office is seeking an individual consultant to develop a specialised Green UPSHIFT Programme in the Region. The purpose of this assignment is to adapt and contextualize the UPSHIFT model with a focus on green skills development for adolescents and young people in Mongolia, Lao PDR, and China. (These are proposed countries but may change.) Green UPSHIFT will retain UPSHIFT’s foundational structure and learning journey—combing workshops, mentorship, and an entrepreneurial challenge—to empower young people to address environmental challenges through innovative, community-driven solutions. This adaptation will leverage the UPSHIFT approach to foster sustainable, green-centered social innovation, equipping young people with critical 21st century skills and mindsets to create real and tangible change in their lives and communities.
