Consultant – Digital Marketing Communication, Eastern & Southern Africa Regional Office, Nairobi
Background and Justification UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfil their potential. Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. And we never give up. The continent of Africa is changing fast: its economy, trade and investment and its climate are altering at a time where economies are still reeling from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Its urban population is booming; conflict and stability are being redefined; migration patterns are evolving and development gains from public health to education are being threatened. In this context, digital communication and social media have become powerful tools to reach multiple audiences and engage stakeholders in the continent and beyond, including youth, so as to inform but also convey the urgency of prioritizing children and the challenges they face. In an era of greater transparency and authenticity, social media and online communication are rapidly delivering a new standard of interaction between people.
