For Every Child, AN ADVOCATE:

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. 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 fulfil 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.

The Communication, Advocacy and Partnerships (CAP) Section comprises of 12 specialists/officers working together with all 13 field offices and other sections to create compelling public-facing content and visibility to programme results and advocacy. Through multiple platforms and in multiple languages, CAP draws attention to the many facets of UNICEF’s work, encouraging public support, participation and action, as well as ensuring greater transparency and accountability.

The Communication, Advocacy and Partnership section is the custodian for communication production services and brand. This includes managing Long Term Agreements and relationships with service providers and individual vendors that provide support in communication content production. This includes film making, design, photography, writing, digital and video editing. The large volume of visibility and content production related support to programmes and field offices requires strong, coordinated admin support to manage the day to day processes related to providing these services, in-line with communication strategy.
