Mission and objectives

UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere. In all of its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach, recognizing the particular importance of early childhood development and adolescence. UNICEF programmes focus on the most disadvantaged children, including those living in fragile contexts, those with disabilities, those who are affected by rapid urbanization and those affected by environmental degradation. UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future. We promote girls’ education – ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum – because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children. We act so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well nourished: no child should suffer or die from a preventable illness. We work to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people because it is right to keep them from harm and enable them to protect others. We help children and families affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity. We are UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund.

Context

The UNICEF Regional Office of South Asia (ROSA) is committed to accelerating learning, reduce learning poverty, and increase skills development and earning opportunities for all children in South Asia. To do this, UNICEF ROSA is prioritizing the agenda for learning recovery, foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN), early childhood education, out-of-school children with a focus on girls, and digital transformation and innovation. To that end, UNICEF ROSA is seeking to collaborate with Online Volunteers to support us in the development communication materials on the abovementioned agenda.

Task description

Specifically, the Online Volunteers will support the ROSA Education Team in the development of the following activities: • Newsletters highlighting UNICEF ROSA's key initiatives, success stories and important updates. • Writing/editing stories, reports and other communication materials on successful education interventions in the region. • Developing PowerPoint presentations and related materials.
