Social and Behaviour Change in Emergencies

Job Description
Description
–>
Implications of these crisis increased the risks of child survival, growth, protection and development, as well as risk of misinformation, disinformation, rumors, hate speech, trust and confidence to the systems and services in the crisis affected countries. These challenges have significant behavioral dimensions from the level of information of refugees on how, where and why to access and use services to misinformation about the quality of the services, to service providers' interpersonal communication and community engagement capacity to promote adoption of life-saving practices to reduce the vulnerabilities of marginalized people and building resilience, inclusive and peaceful societies.
Investing in CE, SBC is central to reaching the last mile with community engagement, social and behaviour change envisioned as key standard actions for more responsive, relevant and sustainable humanitarian programmes towards high-quality community/civic engagement from preparedness to different phases of humanitarian response. CE, SBC in humanitarian action calls for examining more complex, cross-cutting and underlying barriers to resilience and community well-being, including societal drivers of inequity, fragility and conflict. It supports well-planned engagement with communities to reduce their vulnerability to different types of crises while being more inclusive and local in approach.
Across its countries, regional and headquarters offices, UNICEF often engages consultants to support to maximize CE, SBC efforts in humanitarian assistance programmes through strengthening countries' capacities for emergency preparedness and response, research, strategy design and planning, implementation, M&E, institutional capacity building, building partnership for social change, coordination to strengthen systems, services and platforms, contributing to: 1) increased demand for and utilization of quality and inclusive services across all sectors, 2) increased uptake of life saving practices and abandonment of harmful social norms and behaviours across sectors that increases vulnerabilities of most affected population 3) educated, engaged and empowered communities, adolescents and children, particularly the most marginalized, who participate and take actions to improve their wellbeing, and 4) increased institutional capacity and engagement of UNICEF partners, especially national and local government structures, CSOs/FBOs, media and communities in humanitarian action.
