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.

BACKGROUND

Purpose of Activity/ Assignment:

UNICEF’s Gender Policy 2021-2030 and Gender Action Plan (GAP) 2022-2025 articulates a bold and ambitious framework for UNICEF’s programming, workplaces, and practices.  In 2019, UNICEF commissioned an independent, strategic review of gender capacity building initiatives.  Both the strategic review and a 2019 independent evaluation of UNICEF’s Gender Action Plans 2014-2017 and 2018-2021 identified a priority need to expand UNICEF’s capacity building efforts 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.

 

Scope of Work:

The purpose of this consultancy is to design and develop online self-learning modules for an all-staff gender equality e-course that includes the following responsibilities

1. Instructional design to technical content (to be provided by UNICEF) that would be engaging for adult learners;
2. Design of complementary visuals, PowerPoint slides, videos, etc.(this would be a combination of using stock and UNICEF images/videos and where these are insufficient to convey the intended messages, this would require creation of custom graphics); and
3. Development of e-course in an online medium.
