Mission and objectives
UNICEF is a leading humanitarian and development agency working globally for the rights of every child. Child rights begin with safe shelter, nutrition, protection from disaster and conflict and traverse the life cycle: pre-natal care for healthy births, clean water and sanitation, health care and education. UNICEF has spent nearly 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Working with and for children through adolescence and into adulthood requires a global presence whose goal is to produce results and monitor their effects. UNICEF also lobbies and partners with leaders, thinkers and policy makers to help all children realize their rights, especially the most disadvantaged.
Context
The Economic and Social Policy (ESP) Global Practice is one of UNICEF's technical teams, working across five thematic areas — Child Poverty, Social Protection, Public Finance for Children, Cash-Based Assistance, and Youth Livelihoods — to advance evidence-based policy and programmatic action for the most vulnerable children and families. The ESP team produces a wide range of technical knowledge products, capacity-building materials, and public-facing communications intended for government counterparts, development partners, civil society, and practitioner audiences worldwide. To support the dissemination and visibility of its work, the ESP Global Practice is seeking two online volunteers with professional graphic design skills to assist in the layout and design of a set of high-priority knowledge and training products. These materials span social and behavior change programming, gender-responsive social protection, and capacity-building resources, and are intended to be polished, accessible, and aligned with UNICEF's corporate visual identity. Shortlisted candidates will be requested to submit samples of work.
