Advocacy

Manage every element of the regional advocacy strategy process, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, from defining advocacy outcomes, power analysis, and developing a clear theory of change to win the support of decision makers and mobilize key constituencies.

Drive and support the implementation of advocacy plans in focus countries across the region, working across teams to ensure all strands of the strategy are progressed and mutually reinforcing, for example: data, policy, influencer research and engagement, media, public mobilization, events, and partnerships.

Supervise the development of cogent and compelling advocacy and campaign narratives, and the delivery of creative campaign tactics.

Communication Strategy

Stakeholder Engagement

Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders in the region, including media, to build awareness and support of UNICEF's collaborative efforts to eradicate polio and boost immunization rates.

Ensure that effective advocacy and communication strategies and plans are co-created with partners, to leverage their power to contribute to UNICEF's polio eradication and immunization goals.

Ensure that feedback from key stakeholders is incorporated into strategy design, implementation and team learning.
