The Communications and Partnerships Development Specialist is located in the UNFPA Mozambique Country Office in Maputo and reports directly to the UNFPA Representative. The Specialist will be responsible for the development, implementation and monitoring of effective communication, partnership, and resource mobilization strategies of UNFPA Mozambique, raising visibility and awareness of UNFPA´s three transformative agenda goals and work in Mozambique.
UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. UNFPA’s new strategic plan (2022-2025), focuses on three transformative results: to end preventable maternal deaths; end unmet need for family planning; and end gender-based violence and harmful practices. In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need principled and ethical staff, who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them courageously and with full conviction.
UNFPA is seeking candidates that transform, inspire and deliver high impact and sustained results; we need staff who are transparent, exceptional in how they manage the resources entrusted to them, and who commit to deliver excellence in programme results.
The Specialist develops and leads the implementation of communication tools and advocacy campaigns related to priority thematic areas. He/she also identifies, establishes and manages the network of internal and external partners and alliances to support the UNFPA country programme. S/he facilitates knowledge transfer, capacity development and implementation of resource mobilization practices, tools and related skills to support the fundraising efforts of the Country Office.
The Specialist participates in the UN communications working group and other related UN wide communications events and works with the international and national counterparts (both governmental and non-governmental), local media, UN Agencies, UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, and UN Interagency Communication Group to establish functional partnerships and enhance coordination mechanisms in communicating and advocating for the UNFPA mandate.
The Specialist supports the development of UNFPA´s next Country Programme in Mozambique. In particular, the incumbent will be responsible for developing and finalizing the Country Programme Communication, Partnership and Resource Mobilization Plan, and drafting the visibility documents for the new Country Programme.
She/he will work closely with the Regional Communication Adviser and the Resource Mobilization Adviser based at the ESARO (Regional Office) to ensure optimal communication flow and necessary coordination.
