The main outcome of the consultancy assignment is to support the brokering of partnerships in the Nordic Region that help close Education Cannot Wait’s financing gap for 2023-2026.

The consultant will serve as the liaison for ECW Global Champions in the Nordic region, providing support to Champions as they advocate for ECW in national, regional and / or international fora. The consultant will work closely with the ECW secretariat to enhance the visibility of ECW and education in emergencies across traditional, digital and social media platforms in the Nordic Region.

The consultant is expected to support the planning and execution of ECW delegations to the Nordic region and support on global policy events and processes such as the UN General Assembly (UNGA) and the annual meetings in the World Bank and IMF.
