    Background and Justification
    Since 2014, UNICEF has been conducting wide-ranging consultations on ADT as a key lever for advancing access to the learning process and inclusion in school, and has established solid partnerships to advocate, develop standards and guidelines, work on technology development to further build upon the open technical standards in accessible publishing, and is committed to maintaining a strong global advocacy and supporting national policy advancements on Inclusive Education. This project aims to strengthen technology development and application of ADTs to promote accessible learning and inclusion in schools in Africa and to promote global coordination in achieving the same as well as in prompting replication in other countries.
    Since the emergence of Covid-19, we have seen children with disabilities having more difficulty accessing the continuity of learning generally conceived for most children without thinking about specific accessibility issues. The ADP project has the responsibility to build on the existing project to advance the agenda of inclusion of children with disabilities by providing innovative ICT-based solutions and in particular HQ’s global initiative on Learning Anytime Anywhere.  The recruitment of the consultant is of particular importance to document the progress of the pilot countries and to capitalize on this initiative in the reconstruction of the systems post-Covid-19.

It will also allow the UNICEF Kenya CO to continue and strengthen the current pilot and enable Rwanda to activate the publishing ecosystem and advocate for inclusive policies.
    The 3 countries are at distinct levels of implementation of inclusive education and ADTs and can mutually benefit from each other’s experience. The Regional Offices of UNICEF and UNESCO will facilitate opportunities for other countries in the region to enhance national inclusive education efforts through participation in regional activities and knowledge sharing. UNESCO coordinates 3 regional meetings over the course of 24 months (first meeting took place in July 2019). Regional capacity development, C4D campaigns, advocacy processes, and trainings between countries are also planned. UNESCO provides trainings for young persons with disabilities on innovative technologies to produce ADT and document the process and results in order to facilitate inclusive education in a range of countries. UNICEF will jointly support the activities and organize a consultation on sign language.
    The candidate will report to the Education Specialist (Equity), ESARO. The role will provide critically needed project coordinating support dedicated to managing, reporting and monitoring planned activities in all 3 piloting countries in collaboration with UNESCO for successful outcomes, and effectively support the RO in completing all planned activities. Effective implementation of the above tasks will help to contribute the needed acceleration within the workstreams toward achievement of Goal Area 2- Every Child Learns.

    Start date

    From: 20 April 2020

    From: 20 October 2020

    Background and Justification

    Background

    On 31 December 2019, WHO was alerted to a cluster of pneumonia patients in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. One week later, on 7 January 2020, Chinese authorities confirmed that they had identified a novel (new) coronavirus as the cause of the pneumonia. To date the corona virus (COVID-19) has spread to over 200 countries, including over 15 in East and Southern Africa (ESA).

    Given the increasing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Eastern and Southern Africa the Regional office (ESARO) is proposing to strengthen internal capacity to enhanced support to the 21 countries through deployment of additional human resource.

    Purpose

    The UNICEF Communication for Development programme is at the forefront of UNICEF emergency response, where knowledge, attitudes, practices and social norms are key to preparedness and response. Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) plays a key role in providing real-time lifesaving information ensuring that people know what to do to protect themselves and others against various diseases.

    As per the UNICEF ESARO C4D guidance note on COVID-19 Social Media Listening & Rumor Tracking in ESA, social media is increasingly emerging as a major source of COVID-19 related information as highlighted by some recent surveys. While this is a promising trend with potential for using online platforms, social media has also been used to distort correct information, contributing to the spread of disinformation and misinformation as witnessed in the recent weeks. The importance and urgency of access to timely, relevant trusted information in this pandemic cannot be overemphasized. Rumors offer a threat to correct information and can be a matter of life and death. A rumor is defined as unverified information that is transmitted from one person to others. There are two sub-groups of rumors, which are defined by the intent of the people spreading them. Misinformation is incorrect information spread by people without the intent to deceive, while Disinformation is spread to deceive or manipulate others. There are three types of rumors: wish rumors: these reflect the hopes of the community; hostility rumors: these reflect threats to the community or prejudices and often target outside groups; and fear rumors: these reflect the anxieties of the community.

    In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, in ESA social media is one the most significant communication channel, as confirmed by the recent GeoPoll assessment conducted on COVID-19 in Kenya, with social media accounted for 44% as main information source (the highest). Tracking of social media content including rumors and other online discussions is therefore necessary to identify trends and ensure quick and timely responses at regional and national level.
