BACKGROUND
UNICEF works with and for disadvantaged children and adolescents across 22 countries and territories in Europe and Central Asia where we have country programmes. We also have programmes to respond to the needs of refugee and migrant women and children in the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Slovakia, as well as engagement with institutions across many more countries to uphold the rights of children.
UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (ECARO), Country Offices and Programmes in the region regularly requires the services of communication, advocacy and media professionals to produce well-informed, impactful strategies that elevate UNICEF’s visibility, impact, and engagement on critical issues affecting children.
To meet these ongoing needs, UNICEF is updating its roster of specialists in communication, media and advocacy strategy and invites qualified candidates to express their interest to be included in the roster.
The roster will serve as a human resources repository from which ECARO, Country Offices and Programmes in Europe and Central Asia can quickly draw pre-vetted, qualified specialists for assignments.
SCOPE OF WORK AND DUTIES
UNICEF ECARO invites qualified candidates to express their interest to be included in the roster of specialists in communication, media and advocacy strategy. With expertise in media relations, storytelling, and strategic communication, the selected candidates will play a crucial role in advancing UNICEF’s mission and goals in Europe and Central Asia.
The selected specialists will work closely with UNICEF ECARO’s Communication Team, as well as UNICEF Communication Officers in Country Offices, Programmes and National Committees in the region to ensure that the services provided are in line with UNICEF’s branding standards and guidelines, and child safeguarding principles.
The selected specialists may be required to travel to countries in the region to gather content, for which they are expected to make their own arrangements for travel and lodging. Official travel will be specified in the TOR for each assignment, as requested by ECARO and/or COs.
The selected specialists are required to use their own computer equipment and software.
