TERMS OF REFERENCE
Communication and advocacy are central to UNICEF Indonesia’s efforts to promote child rights, strengthen public engagement, demonstrate thought leadership, and motivate action for children. To ensure that UNICEF communication and public advocacy products are compelling, accurate, audience-focused, and aligned with UNICEF writing standards and brand guidance, UNICEF Indonesia seeks to engage an individual consultant to deliver high-quality English writing, editing and quality assurance services over an 12-month period. The consultant will be responsible for producing agreed deliverables, including written, edited and quality-assured communication materials, based on specific requests as agreed with the communication team, timelines, and inputs provided by UNICEF.
The consultancy will be remote. UNICEF will provide relevant background materials, briefing, programme inputs, data, key messages, draft content, brand guidance and feedback as required. The consultant will work independently, as well as in close communication with UNICEF Indonesia’s communication section as well as programmes and fundraising teams as needed. As such, to ensure smooth coordination and communication, the consultant will be requested to be available during Jakarta working hours, to engage with the Jakarta-based staff to ensure constructive inputs and discussions of content.

UNICEF does not hire candidates who are married to children (persons under 18).

All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks, and will be expected to adhere to these standards and principles.
