For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Djibouti Country Office, invites applications from interested person for the above mentioned consultancy in the office of the Representative to support Fundraising, Advocacy and External Communications interventions.

Background and Rationale -

With a population of 818 000 inhabitants according to the 2009 census and sustained economic growth the Republic of Djibouti is a middle-income country. Seven out of 10 inhabitants live in urban areas and six out of 10 in the city of Djibouti. The under-five morality rate dropped from 123 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 91 per 1,000 in 2010. Efforts to improve the child survival and development rates face nutritional challenges since 23 per cent of children under five are underweight. The maternal mortality rate is very high; there are currently 300 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. Nine out of 10 people now have access to drinking water, but only 50 per cent of the population has the use of improved sanitation facilities.

Djibouti is facing a widespread AIDS epidemic; the prevalence rate is 2.5 per cent for adults. Only 40 per cent of people living with HIV have access to antiretroviral drugs and only 3 per cent of pregnant women follow a comprehensive prophylaxis programme to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the virus. The situation of young people outside the school system is of particular concern because they lack "life skills". Although Djibouti is on track to eliminate gender disparity in primary education by 2022, one of every four children is not enrolled in school. Girls still represent a minority of first-year enrolments in basic education (45 per cent).

The UNICEF programme in the country is adjusting to the changing development/country context, but to be able to put the urgently needed interventions into practice, a reliable and large amount of funding is needed over several years to come. To ensure the funding needed for the next few years, the country office s has developed a concrete 2014-2015 Fundraising and Leveraging strategy including an action plan, involving bilateral as much as private donors. Advocacy for key children related topics, as well as leveraging resources for children is also a must for the office. Finally, the office urgently needs good quality proposals and donor reports to regain the trust of the donors in the CO and maintain some key partnerships. The Djibouti Country Office (DCO) has developed a 2015-2017 Communication and Public Advocacy Strategy in line with the Global Communication and Public Advocacy Strategy's strategic orientations which still needs to be implemented. The national company, Djibouti Telecom, has the monopoly on all telecom services. The online community remains limited. Internet access in Djibouti is still relatively slow and costly, with limited or non-connectivity in most rural areas. However, the country office has an active Facebook and You Tube pages.

Purpose of Assignment and Objective -

Under the supervision of the Representative, the consultant will support the Representative in assuring the quality of all external communications of the office via the web, presentations, media package, and communications to donors in the form of fundraising proposals and donor reports. Furthermore, he/she will revise and implement the Fundraising Strategy and assist to prepare briefing notes. UNICEF has a refreshed brand identity, which moved from "Unite for Children" to "For Every Child". In parallel to the UNICEF@70 celebrations, UNICEF Country office is marking its 35th anniversary. The consultant will help to reposition and strengthen the brand using a "global" approach.

KYNE Consultancy Role Job Description

Job Title: Programme Manager

Job Location: We are currently hiring for four consultancy positions:

• N’djamena, Chad;
• Addis Ababa, Ethiopia;
• Bamako, Mali;
• Kampala, Uganda (for remote management of South Sudan programme)

Duration of contract: Six (6) months with possibility of extension

Start: ASAP

Organisational Background

At KYNE, we cultivate ideas, insights and influencers to improve lives. At our core, we are a health communications consultancy. In reality, we are much more. We are in the business of helping solve unmet health needs. We act as catalysts, helping address health issues by aligning the right partners and implementing genuine solutions.

KYNE creates health communications programs that achieve real change, leveraging our skills, expertise and drive to break down barriers. Whether it’s reducing tobacco use, ending preventable deaths from infectious diseases, or raising awareness about a critical issue, we craft communications programs and partnerships with the power to make a difference.

Project Background

In 2016, KYNE started a collaboration with The Carter Center to design and implement a behaviour change communication (BCC) programme for Guinea worm disease (GWD) eradication. Our BCC programme promotes GWD preventive measures, as well as a cash reward to enhance surveillance for cases in the remaining four endemic countries: Chad, Ethiopia, Mali and South Sudan.

Considered a neglected tropical disease, GWD is a parasitic infection caused by the nematode roundworm parasite Dracunculus medenisis. It is contracted when people consume water from stagnant sources contaminated with Guinea worm larvae. In 1986, the disease afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people a year in 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, thanks to the work of The Carter Center and its partners — including the countries themselves — the incidence of Guinea worm has been reduced by more than 99.99 percent to 126 cases in 2014.

The Role

The Guinea Worm Eradication Programs (GWEP) in the four remaining endemic countries are responsible for overseeing the eradication program in country, and the successful post-holders will be integrated into this structure. KYNE is seeking Programme Managers to be based in N’djamena, Addis Ababa, Bamako and Kampala to support this work.

Together with KYNE staff in Europe and the USA, the Programme Managers will form part of a global team, to ensure that BCC materials and messaging are appropriate and effective for the different country contexts. The post-holders will oversee the roll out of communication tactics in-country, working closely with GWEP staff to ensure that tactics permeate the country. The Programme Managers will also work with KYNE’s Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Manager to lead on data collection for M&E purposes ensuring that data is collected, collated and delivered in a timely manner, in accordance with agreed milestones.

The post holder will build excellent rapport and effectively manage relationships with in-country stakeholders, including Ministry of Health, The Carter Center and the National Guinea Worm Eradication Programme. The post holder will also effectively communicate progress about country programmes to the rest of the KYNE team, and flag any areas of concern immediately.

Logistics of the Role

These are dynamic roles, and the post holders will be expected to be both proactive and reactive, according to changing country contexts. Programme Managers will ensure availability for both ad-hoc and weekly check-ins with KYNE team, as appropriate.
