Re-advertisement Consultant for enhancing partnerships in the Nordic Region

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. This includes supporting the identification and cultivation of new partnerships and funding opportunities with public and private donors, or a collaboration between both (public private partnerships). 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. While the geographical focus of the assignment is primarily Nordic, the consultant may also support on other donor markets based on the needs in the ECW Partnerships Team. 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.
