Mission and objectivesUNICEF Solomon Islands works with and for disadvantaged children and adolescents across the Pacific Islands. Our ambition is to get the entire country working together - as one - on behalf of its most vulnerable children. We are looking for online volunteers to design IEC materials for 1000 days of early years based on Solomon Islands context. The purpose of the assignment is to develop context-appropriate materials that promote key messages on 1000 days especially focusing on nutrition. These IEC materials will be a catalyst to engage community influencers, leaders and communities.
ContextThe purpose of this assignment is to develop engaging SBC (Social and Behavioral Change) IEC materials that will strengthen community engagement on key aspects of 1000 days. These IEC materials will support community engagement and communication with caregivers and communities to encourage the positive, sustainable behavior change while enhancing visibility of key action at the community level. Objectives: - Develop context-appropriate SBC IEC materials that promote key messages on child nutrition and health. - Strengthen the communication capacity of frontline workers by providing practical, user-friendly materials that can be used during interpersonal communication, community sessions, and outreach in the Solomon Islands. - Promote community dialogue and participation through interactive materials that encourage caregivers and families to adopt recommended family care and health seeking behaviors.
