India: Consultancy (11.5 months): Individual Giving DRTV Specialist (Asia), New Delhi, India
Closing date: 2019-04-24
Application : Apply for the jobOrganization: UN Children's Fund
Country: India
Closing date: 24 Apr 2019
UNICEF works in some of the world s toughest places, to reach the world s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, hope
The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does - in programs, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children's rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias or favoritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life - in its social, political, economic, civic and cultural dimensions - her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society's most disadvantaged citizens - addressing inequity - not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. This is why the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.
The Individual Giving DRTV Specialist role is located in the Individual Giving Team, which is itself part of Fundraising Services. The consultant will report to the Individual Giving Manager and will be available to support the Country Offices in the Asia and Pacific region with an initial focus on India.
India is the largest programme country in UNICEF and will be celebrating 70 years in India in 2019. The current country programme for 2018-2022 has ambitious targets to help millions of children and their families across multiple programme outcomes through 13 state offices. The middle-class population in this country of 1.3 billion is growing rapidly. India is a large and dynamic market with frequent changes and innovations happening across multiple sectors and industries.
To enable UNICEF to deliver programmatic results for children, the organization needs to maximize income potential from the Private Sector. Through previous fundraising efforts, India Country Office (ICO) has now established a base of c.40,000 active pledge donors recruited primarily via face to face (F2F). However, market research indicates that there is significant potential for extremely ambitious growth if new channels can be activated that will reach ICO's target audiences and successfully convert them to new donors. Direct response television has been identified as a channel that will be central to the success of the newly developed fundraising strategy and ICO now needs an experienced DRTV Project Manager to help the office set up and begin testing.
More widely, UNICEF Country Offices in Southeast Asia have been successfully fundraising for many years. However, there is a common need to diversify acquisition channels and clear potential to test DRTV across the region.
How can you make a difference?
UNICEF seeks an experienced consultant to project manage DRTV and lead the set-up, testing and evaluation of direct response television as a pledge donor recruitment channel. This will require creating media plans in collaboration with ICO staff and the newly procured DRTV agency, identifying and setting up appropriate response channels and coordinating the production of appropriate creative, including ensuring the involvement of key stakeholders within the office at all stages.
The assignment will also be required to develop and coach identified staff members from the fundraising team at ICO so that they can take on the management of the new DRTV program in the future.
Once the India DRTV project has been initiated there may be additional test projects in Southeast Asia, most likely Thailand, to support alongside the ongoing activity in India. Currently the expected split of work will be 70% focused on India and 30% on Thailand but this is subject to change. This will require occasional international travel.
MAIN TASKS:
Under the guidance of the Global Individual Giving Team and the relevant Country Office, the incumbent will perform the following duties:
For other Country Office needs, some or all the above duties will be required.
DELIVERABLES:
The incumbent will have a significant impact on UNICEF's private sector income and the diversification efforts of Country Offices in the Asia and Pacific Region. The overall success of private sector income generation is built upon the success of fundraising in individual markets, therefore this role directly contributes to the achievement of the overall private sector income goals for UNICEF.
The specific, measurable results for this consultancy will be:
ESTIMATED DURATION OF THE CONTRACT AND PROPOSAL:
The estimated duration of the contract is 11.5 months, starting from the 1st May 2019 (tentatively).
REPORTING TO:
Supervisors: Individual Giving Specialist, Fundraising Services and Individual Giving Manager of Country Office.
Peer group: Individual Giving team, Fundraising specialists.
Key contacts: Country Office Staff, Regional Support Centre, Digital Section.
WORK PLACE:
The incumbent will be based at India Country Office (ICO) in New Delhi. Travel to the field will be required for the filming of projects in India for DRTV campaigns and to visit local call centers. Occasional overseas travel lasting between one week and one month to support other UNICEF offices in the setup of DRTV tests may also be required. Currently Thailand is an identified test market for 2019.

Based on the National Family Health Survey 4 (2015-16) and WHO/UNICEF/World Bank 2016 joint estimates, India is home to one-third (46.8 million) of the 156 million stunted children world-wide. Similarly, there are around 50 million wasted children in the world, of which India alone houses 18.3 million (37%) of them.

Social and Behaviour change communication is a key strategy to meet UNICEF s new CP outcomes and also the objectives of sectoral and cross-sectoral programme outcomes that can support: 1) GOI national flagship programmes (NHM, ICDS, ICPS, SSA, SBM etc.) as well as the 2) Early Childhood Development (ECD) and adolescents programming - through its focus on influencing, changing and developing behaviours and social norms to achieving equitable results and rights for children.The social and behavior change communication (SBCC) and gender strategy for the ICO Country Programme will comprise of six approaches that will be embedded within and applied across all the office programme flagships. These include: 1)Establishment and management of long-term mega-partnerships (e.g. with FBOs, Tribal groups, Artist Federations, PRIs, Self Help Groups, farmer cooperatives, youth networks, CSOs, FBOs, private sector including non-traditional partnerships etc.) and trans-media platforms (Eg.TV, video, digital media, community radio and folk media/participatory theatre). These partnerships will be leveraged to expand opportunities for leveraging culturally appropriate forms, creating new social narratives and establishing on-going platforms for dialogue amongst families and communities towards influencing deep-rooted social norms and collective agreements to address identified behavioural and socio-cultural barriers.2)Targeted SBCC and campaigns will extend demand generation to the hard-to-reach, underserved and marginalized families and communities towards increasing their access to services and benefits. This will include promotion of Health and Nutrition Days, Adolescent days, Immunization and Back-to-school campaigns.3)Building social capital of communities, adolescents and youth will be achieved through social mobilization of local leaders, volunteer groups and networks; facilitating the creation of spaces and mechanisms for strengthening connections and fostering trust within communities and a sense of unity, cooperation and social equity across tribes, caste and religion; breaking attitudes towards dependency and stimulating community-led action; strengthening social accountability with community engagement in monitoring and feedback regarding quality of and access to services. 4)Institutionalization of systems for SBCC capacity development. This includes improved interpersonal counselling and facilitation skills of service providers and frontline workers and their respective supervisors to ensure quality promotion of demand and utilization of services and adoption of recommended practices. 5)System strengthening for SBCC governance and accountability will be supported by providing technical support, guidelines, quality standards and tools to national, state and district programme managers to improve the planning, budgeting, coordination, convergence, and monitoring of SBCC activities both within and across sectors particularly at decentralized level.6)SBCC evidence generation and knowledge exchange will be supported to improve strategic planning and collective advocacy for SBCC interventions, including specific approaches to address the role of gender norms. An example would be to integrate SBCC quality monitoring indicators within administrative reporting systems as well as key behavioural indicators within government population level data systems. In terms of research, partnerships and alliances with academic institutions will serve as hubs or think tanks for SBCC discourse and for generating evidence on Social Norms to inform SBCC interventions. This should also include Using ICT for Behavior change.ICO has also committed to engage with the national and state governments for national priorities such as Mission Indradhanush, Poshan Abhiyaan, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) and Swachcha Bharat Mission (SBM) where SBCC and social movements are identified as primary strategies. 2.PURPOSE UNICEF is updating its pool of pre-qualified high-caliber candidates to be hired as C4D / SBCC Contractors or Consultants , from which UNICEF country office and different state offices can swiftly select and fill a requirement through a faster contracting process as soon as a need is identified.Candidates who meet the required qualifications and experience are invited to apply following which a desk review of their skills and experience will be done to determine whether they qualify for the C4D / SBCC Roster.
