  • Consultant – Graphic Designer

    Consultant – Graphic Designer

    Duties and Responsibilities
    Background of the assignment

    As the global guardian of the United Nations standards and norms in crime prevention and criminal justice, UNODC is mandated to support Member States in upholding the rule of law, promoting crime prevention and effective, fair, humane and accountable criminal justice systems. Within the framework of the UNODC Regional Programme for Eastern Africa (2016-2021), and in close cooperation with the Regional Section for Africa and the Middle East at UNODC headquarters, the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme of ROEA seeks to implement these objectives through support to major justice reforms processes undertaken by East African States.
    In line with this mandate the UNODC project ‘Strengthening the Administration of Justice and operationalising alternatives to imprisonment in Kenya’ aims to support the Government of Kenya to strengthen efficiency in delivery of judicial services, enhance coordination within the criminal justice sector and widen the use and application of alternatives to imprisonment. The project is designed to implement a part of the Programme for Legal Aid and Empowerment in Kenya (PLEAD). The Programme is funded by the European Union and targets the counties with the five largest urban centres of the country (Kisumu, Mombasa, Nairobi, Nakuru and Uasin Gishu) and seven counties of the most marginalised area within the country (Garissa, Isiolo, Lamu, Mandera, Marsabit, Tana River and Wajir).

    The PLEAD component implemented by UNODC targets support to the following institutions in the justice chain (national partners):

    The Judiciary;
    The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP);
    The Kenyan Probation and Aftercare Service (KPAS);
    The Witness Protection Agency (WPA);
    The National Council on the Administration of Justice (NCAJ).

    The importance of raising public awareness for the success of criminal justice reforms cannot be over emphasised. The 2018 PLEAD Baseline Study thus describes limited public awareness of alternatives to imprisonment, coupled with a low uptake of such sanctions by judicial officers, as having resulted in an over reliance on imprisonment.
    In consequence, PLEAD adopted a Communication and Visibility Strategy 2019-2020 (Communication Strategy) to ensure efficient and coherent communication on the Programme. The Strategy prescribes, inter alia, that all PLEAD partners should be visible and receive appropriate acknowledgement for their contribution. One of its objectives is also to raise awareness among all target groups of the positive impacts of the Programme’s interventions that are improving the delivery of justice and changing lives.
    Given varying access to information channels and literacy levels it is important to present information in both written and audio-visual form. PLEAD will thus support the generation of a large amount of written and electronic content, from policies, strategies and guidelines, to popular versions of formal documents, reports and Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials. When necessary service providers will be engaged to support the implementation of the Communication Strategy, such as graphic design and layout, illustrations, translation, photography and video and audio production. Correspondingly, UNODC will maintain a UNODC publication master schedule over the life of the Programme to enable forward planning and thereby optimal impact of PLEAD communications.
    Graphic design and layout services will include the design and layout of formal publications, display products and IEC materials. It will also include UNODC material that will feature the approved PLEAD visual identity as well as materials for national partners that must feature their respective corporate identity.
    Purpose of the assignment

    The purpose of the assignment is to provide graphic design and layout services to support, on the one hand, the implementation of the Communication Strategy and, on the other hand, various publications and IEC materials for national partners supported by PLEAD.
    The approval processes of UNODC and the European Union must be followed throughout the assignment, as well as their respective logo guidelines and visibility requirements. The assignment also requires the preparation and delivery of final artwork to the printer and/or production company in line with instructions.

    Specific tasks to be performed by the consultant

    Under the overall supervision of the Regional Representative and direct supervision of the Head of the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme UNODC ROEA, and within the framework of the UNODC Regional Programme for Eastern Africa (2016-2021) the consultant will perform the following tasks in pursuance of the implementation of the Communication Strategy:
    Apply PLEAD visuals to various UNODC information and display products and social media graphics.
    Design and layout PLEAD newsletter and fact sheets.
    Design and layout formal documents, such as policies and guidelines, and IEC materials for PLEAD national partners, such as popular version of government policies or guidelines, training materials, display banners, brochures and posters.
    Collaborate with the PLEAD Communication Consultant to provide technical assistance to national partners regarding the development of their corporate identity, including their respective logos.
    Assist, as needed, with determining print production specifications and liaising with printers to coordinate production.

    Qualifications/special skills

    Academic Qualifications: An advanced university degree in graphic design, visual arts, illustration or related field is required. A first level university degree in similar fields in combination with two additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.

    Consultancy to Structure and Design a Humanitarian Affairs Unit and undertaking market analysis on its value add to the Region/RPU Programs. Deputy Country Director, Programme Develpment & Quality (DCD PDQ Director) Save the Children International Somalia Country Office

    INTRODUCTION
    International multilateral aid has been at the forefront of humanitarian crisis for the last 50 years. During this time the sector has institutionalised and professionalised resulting in the entrenchment of power dynamics that favour actors based in the Global North. Having recognised this Save the Children’s Regional Programming Unit (RPU) in East and Southern Africa wants to invest in a partnership that focuses on internal and external critical reflection that complements the Eurocentric dominance of current sectoral research. Rather than considering transformation as an existential threat to the status quo, a position that is arguably perpetuated by echo-chamber recycling mythologies, the RPU wants to further expand the range of gazes to ensure the perspectives and voices of Global South expertise can influence Save the Children and the broader sector. As the sector goes through a fundamental period of uncertainty, INGOs fearful of challenge to their identity and relevance are in a change or be changed moment.To this end, the RPU is seeking a partnership with a regional academic, or think tank entity who specializes in critical reflection and analytical research on the study of humanitarianism to create a space for practitioner-based reflection through a global south lens. The partnership can then harness the access Save the Children enjoys to global north dialogues with a view to disrupting the narrative.
    We’re seeking a consultancy for 2 months to help identify and negotiate an equal partnership and design the structure of the joint Humanitarian Affairs Unit.
