Social & Behaviour Change Knowledge Management International Consultant

The aim of this assignment, as per UNICEF Syria’s SBC team’s knowledge management priorities, is to address the specific efforts required for the successful execution of these priorities. You will report to the SBC Specialist, who provides technical guidance throughout the entire consultancy for quality assurance. In particular, the objectives for the Knowledge Management (KM) consultancy can be divided into three major categories: i) documenting and sharing case studies that assess the impact of SBC interventions; ii) enhancing the internal SBC knowledge management system, including the filing system and internal documentation processes; iii) packaging knowledge products into user-friendly guides for implementing partners. Given the volatile emergency situation in which UNICEF Syria operates, the priorities of this assignment may be subject to adaptation if changing circumstances require it, while remaining under the general umbrella of knowledge management. Specifically, this could include support to the drafting of regular reports required during emergencies, such as Situation Reports.
