The country programme design adopts an evidence-based policy advocacy and institution strengthening approach in addressing the barriers that affect the most disadvantaged.
To translate this commitment to child rights and equity into resources and action for children, UNICEF Maldives will continue efforts to build a more coordinated, consistent communication and public advocacy strategy through key partnerships with private sector/state-owned enterprises and civil society organizations, and develop high quality public engagement products that aim to raise awareness around the challenges children in the Maldives face, and in what ways UNICEF supports its partners in improving the situation of children in the Maldives.

The overall goal of this consultancy is to support the UNICEF Maldives country office in its public communication and advocacy activities, that support the overall achievements of the 2016-2020 country programme.
