Mission and objectives

National UNV Youth Communication Support Officer Job Opportunity. Apply! National UNV Youth Communication Support Officer Job Opportunity. Apply! UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere. In all of its work, UNICEF takes a life-cycle based approach, recognizing the particular importance of early childhood development and adolescence. UNICEF programmes focus on the most disadvantaged children, including those living in fragile contexts, those with disabilities, those who are affected by rapid urbanization and those affected by environmental degradation. UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path.

We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future. We promote girls’ education ensuring that they complete primary education as a minimum – because it benefits all children, both girls and boys. Girls who are educated grow up to become better thinkers, better citizens, and better parents to their own children. We act so that all children are immunized against common childhood diseases, and are well nourished: no child should suffer or die from a preventable illness. We work to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people because it is right to keep them from harm and enable them to protect others. We help children and families affected by HIV/AIDS to live their lives with dignity. We are UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund.

Context

Under UNICEF’s mandate to improve the well-being of all children everywhere, communication plays a pivotal role, serving as a powerful tool to raise awareness and mobilize support for our mission. The creation of high-quality, compelling multimedia content including stories, photos, videos, infographics, reports and branding of various documents and materials is crucial in enabling us to highlight the situation of children and young people, capture UNICEF’s work to improve their lives, and catalyse positive action and change. To ensure this content reaches the right audiences effectively, UNICEF leverages its social media platforms and website as key dissemination channels. Through strategic use of these digital platforms, we amplify our messages, engage with diverse audiences and foster meaningful dialogue to drive public support and enhance visibility for children’s rights.
