Consultant Climate change communications and donor visibility

The WHO Division of Pacific Technical Support (DPS) is based in Suva, Fiji, and was established to coordinate and provide timely, tailored support and backstopping to 21 Pacific island countries and areas (PICs). The Division’s work is delivered in close collaboration with Pacific governments, other United Nations agencies, development partners, donors, and nongovernmental organizations to achieve better health outcomes for Pacific island communities. 
DPS is seeking a communications consultant to support the office’s advocacy on climate change. Climate change has both direct and indirect impacts on health and health systems. In support of its mandate as the UN specialized agency responsible for directing and coordinating health, addressing these impacts is a priority for WHO at the global, regional and country level. In the Western Pacific region, WHO’s vision paper, For the Future: Towards the Healthiest and Safest Region, therefore identifies climate change, the environment and health as one of four key thematic priorities.
The health sector is dealing with the health impacts of climate change and environmental degradation, with limited control over the factors causing the problems. However, numerous health co-benefits can be achieved through climate action taken by other sectors (such as environment, energy, agriculture, transport, infrastructure, urban planning and development). The health sector is uniquely positioned –- and has a responsibility –- to join the advocacy for action outside of the health sector that will also benefit health. The consultant is therefore expected to use the Communications for Health (C4H) approach advocated for under For the Future to drive collective action on climate change, benefitting health.
At the same time, WHO’s work in the Pacific is only possible thanks to key donor partners who provide funding. The consultant will therefore also be called upon to increase the visibility of the impact that WHO is able to achieve in partnership with these donor partners.
By promoting action on climate change and ensuring adequate recognition of donor partners, the consultant will contribute to the achievement of the For the Future vision and through that, WHO’s global Thirteenth General Programme of Work, 2019-2025 (GPW-13) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
