Graphic Design Support to contextualize and develop IEC Materials for EORE

Organizational Context

UNICEF's core mission is to uphold the rights of every child globally, focusing on equity to ensure all children can survive, develop, and reach their full potential without discrimination. In Mozambique, the organization is addressing the critical threat of explosive ordnance, including IEDs, ERW, and UXO, which disproportionately harm children. This initiative aims to reduce casualties and enhance the safety and resilience of affected populations, particularly in areas with returning displaced communities.

Job Purpose

This role supports UNICEF's initiative to mitigate the risks posed by explosive ordnance to children and caregivers in Mozambique. The assignment focuses on developing and contextualizing child-friendly Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) materials, including those related to IEDs. The goal is to promote safe behaviors in high-risk and returning communities, enhance coordination among humanitarian actors, and strengthen data-driven approaches. The contribution is vital for reducing exposure, preventing casualties, and improving the overall safety and resilience of vulnerable populations affected by conflict and explosive hazards.

The volunteer will also support training for Child Protection Work Stream (CPWS) members and frontline workers on EORE delivery and safe practices. Additionally, responsibilities involve producing documents in English and Portuguese and collaborating with CPWS members to integrate relevant local languages, such as Makonde, Makuwa/Makhuwa, and Swahili.
