The consultant’s work will be instrumental in revitalizing UNICEF’s engagement with consumer-facing companies, unlocking new sources of sustainable and flexible funding that advance UNICEF’s mission for children.

Maintain regular engagement with UNICEF’s internal and external stakeholders to gather insights, feedback, and alignment during the drafting process.
📚 3. Compilation, Review, and Publication
Coordinate the collation, editing, and finalization of the guidance document — ensuring it is user-friendly, accessible, and aligned with UNICEF’s standards and branding.
🎓 4. Training Development
Design and deliver a comprehensive training program on Consumer-Facing Partnerships. The consultant will prepare modules, facilitate sessions, and collaborate with UNICEF’s Academy team to ensure organizational alignment.
