To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organisation does — in programmes, in advocacy and operations. UNICEF integrates behavioural and social change and communication approaches into UNICEF programmes to uphold the realisation of the rights of all children by translating this commitment to children’s rights into action. The importance of identifying and incorporating social and behaviour changes into programme planning, partnerships, communication, and capacity-strengthening is a cornerstone that will lead to outcome synergies and positive change within a social system. UNICEF Gulf Area Office (UNICEF GAO) supports the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain to advance children’s rights under the framework of a sub-regional programme ending in 2023. This programme emphasizes four priority areas: advancing early childhood development, strengthening child protection systems, improving the collection and quality of data, and strengthening partnerships with a view to amplifying results for children. Investing in social and behavioural appropriate context-responsive interventions would support the positive change of the social and behaviour practices, information and knowledge across the four priorities. How can you make a difference? The Social and Behavioural Change Communication Consultant will provide technical and operational support for developing a systematic, planned and evidence-based strategy and process for social and behavioural change as an integral part of programme development, planning and implementation.

The strategic and effective development and implementation of social and behavioral change and communication initiatives and products directly impact the ability of UNICEF to promote social changes in behaviours, social attitudes, beliefs, harmful social norms and actions by communities, individuals and society on children’s rights, survival and wellbeing. This, in turn, contributes to enhancing the ability of UNICEF to fulfil its mission to achieve sustainable, locally-owned and concrete results in improving the survival, development and wellbeing of children in the country.
