For Every Child, AN ADVOCATE:
In an effort to measurably improve UNICEF's ability to deliver better results for children, there is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfill their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
Purpose of the Job:
UNICEF India finds itself in the unique situation where there is a continued strong and large programme presence that requires strategic communication and advocacy support, while at the same time the resource mobilization and private and public sector engagement portfolio is expanding rapidly as well. In order to maintain a consistent public presence where UNICEF’s role as an advocate for children’s rights is combined with a strong positioning for corporate partnerships and fundraising. Growing large scale corporate funding in addition requires a strong donor communication to provide the key donors and corporate partners, including the UNICEF National Committees with platforms and assets for visibility of the partnership with UNICEF and results achieved for children.
UNICEF globally has a new strategic plan, and ambitious goals to deliver on income, influence and brand recognition. In the new plan UNICEF is bringing together a number of functions in the organization, ensuring a more integrated approach and fostering better collaboration and co-ordination of approaches, especially between public advocacy, fundraising, partnerships and brand. This role, which sits within the Communication team will work closely with the Resource Mobilization & Partnerships team to ensure involvement in the earliest stages of partnership design, and incorporate partner expectations and goals into the overarching partnership communication strategy and plan.
The purpose of the post is to ensure appropriate UNICEF visibility, messaging and branding in development of business partners and to manage UNICEF’s communication response around reputational risk issues linked to engaging with the corporate sector and donors.
