Overview

National Consultant for the development of Risk Communication toolkit and course, Brasilia (home-based), Brazil, [6 months].

Join to apply for the National Consultant role at UNICEF. In conflict and disaster, children suffer first and suffer most. UNICEF works to strengthen the links between humanitarian action and development work, delivering a continuum of support. In Brazil, UNICEF supports child-centred disaster risk reduction interventions and emergency responses, such as the Venezuelan migration outflow and the drought in the Amazon Region. In the last two years, UNICEF contributed to the Yanomami public health emergency and the response to the floods in Rio Grande do Sul. UNICEF's crosscutting focus includes Social and Behaviour Change (SBC), and Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) is a key component of preparedness and response.

Under the guidance of the Social and Behaviour Change Officer, in coordination with the Emergency Specialist and the RCCE Specialist, the consultant will support UNICEF in producing 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. The consultancy covers a 6-month period and aims to develop an RCCE Toolkit and a short RCCE course for public managers involved in emergency preparedness and response in Brazil.

  • RCCE Toolkit: Message Matrix — Develop a comprehensive matrix with child-centered key messages by emergency type (drought, smoke/fires, floods) for each of the five UNICEF Goal Areas (Health and Nutrition, WASH, Education, Child Protection, Social Policy).
