As UNICEF drives practical, measurable policy change in climate action, a senior consultant is needed to provide expert analysis and input to sustain multilateral climate policy engagement at high technical quality, under the supervision of the Global Technical Director of UNICEFs Center of Excellence (CoE) for Climate Resilience for Children.
The Public Partnerships intern will work with the PPD team based in Washington DC, to deepen collaboration with key stakeholders and help to provide an interface for environmental scanning, knowledge exchange, resource mobilization, and policy influence within the scope of the assignment. The key result is to ensure greater visibility for UNICEF and influence in support of its mission.
Under the guidance of the Social and Behaviour Change Officer, in close coordination with the Emergency Specialist and the RCCE Specialist, the consultant will support UNICEF in producing and developing a Toolkit and course on Risk Communication and Community Engagement in Brazil, liaising with all field offices that respond to humanitarian situations in the country. Throughout the 6-month period of the assignment, the consultant is expected to support the creation of a child-centered toolkit of risk communication materials to be shared with government of all levels, delivered as: a mapping of existing UNICEF materials, a matrix of key messages for different types of emergencies (droughts and floods), the finalized and tested communication materials (cards, posters, leaflets and radio scripts). The toolkit will support emergency efforts by Brazil´s Civil Protection (Defesa Civil) and the social assistance sector responsible for humanitarian shelter, with three main objectives:
1. To support child rights in humanitarian shelters across the country
2. Contribute to Brazil´s efforts on Disaster Risk Reduction (by Civil Protection)
3. Provide general life-saving risk communication messages which will be made available for municipalities affected by emergencies.
Lastly, the consultant will develop a short child-centered RCCE course to engage and build capacity of public managers involved in emergency preparedness and response.
UNICEF is committed to advancing gender equality and the empowerment of all girls and women. Building on UNICEF’s comparative advantages, lessons learned from prior Action Plans, as well as evidence of proven strategies to effect change at scale, UNICEF will have a special focus on advancing adolescent girls rights. This includes targeting commitments to adolescent girls in each sectoral area and through multisectoral, at-scale programming. UNICEF is seeking a consultant to support the adolescent girls’ agenda. Specifically, this consultancy will focus on:
- Provision of technical, programmatic, and strategic support to new global adolescent girls’ initiatives, including under Skills4Girls, HPV Plus, and related portfolios
- Provision of support for reporting and donor engagement, for 2 major Global Adolescent Girls initiatives.
- Support knowledge and evidence generation as well as specialist support for girl-centered monitoring and evaluation.
