About UNICEF
If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you.
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.
UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. UNICEF has over 12,000 staff in more than 145 countries.BACKGROUND
Purpose of Activity/ Assignment:
UNICEF's Gender Policy and Gender Action Plan (GAP articulates a bold and ambitious framework for UNICEF's programming, workplaces, and practices.
Within the GAP, gender-responsive and transformative targets are articulated, in addition to five interconnected targets for adolescent girls' wellbeing and leadership.
In 2019, UNICEF commissioned an independent, strategic review of gender capacity building initiatives and the development of a new Organization Learning Plan for Gender EqualityBoth the strategic review and a [2019 independent evaluation of UNICEF's Gender Action Plans and ]'s%20Gender%20Action%20Plans,) identified a priority need to expand UNICEF's capacity building efforts, to increase the coverage of gender training across the organisation beyond gender-designated staff positions, to support and promote collective leadership and accountability for GAP results and gender equality, more broadly, as an organisational commitment.
In response, UNICEF continues to strengthen and expand gender capacity development for all UNICEF staff, by refining existing learning resources and creating new learning resources.
While there is a wide array of gender-related learning resources accessible to UNICEF staff, what is lacking is the development of training that will build staff knowledge and understanding about gender equality at UNICEF at a basic level for all staff, regardless of function and level.
In addition, UNICEF has the responsibility to meet the capacity development performance indicator on mandatory gender training for all levels of staff at HQ, regional and country offices, as set out in the [UN System-wide Action Plan (UN-SWAP)]) on Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
Scope of Work:
The purpose of this consultancy is to design and develop course content for an all-staff gender training that will:
a) focus on the organisation's gender equality mandate and vision; what UNICEF is doing to advance gender equality; and why gender equality is a core value of all staff;
b) build staff capacity to promote gender equality within UNICEF's workplace environment and within UNICEF's programming; and
c) meet the learning outcome and learning objectives set out by UNICEF.
The course will comprise approximately 45 mins of learning, covering the following elements
\- UNICEF's gender equality mandate and vision
\- Gender transformative programming and results
\- Gender data and statistics
\- Adolescent girls as an organizational priority
\- Gender equality in the workplace
The course will be made available on UNICEF's internal Agora learning platform.
While the consultant will have access to existing online documents, PPTs and videos and be expected to integrate this information into the course, the consultant will also develop new content in the form of pre and post assessment tools, case studies, tests/knowledge checks, an exercise to stimulate self-reflection and a final test/knowledge check which marks course completion.
The consultant will serve as the principal liaison between UNICEF and the e-course developer firm, while maintaining close communication with the programme manager within UNICEF's Gender Equality team in New York headquarters.
The consultant will brief an internal reference group at key stages of course content development.Terms of Reference /
