Purpose

The Global Education Cluster seeks a graphic designer to develop a visual identity and design/layout for key communications and advocacy products for the Education Cannot Wait (ECW) funded Global Partners Project.

The Global Partners Project brings the Global Education Cluster, the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to strengthen education in emergencies response. A core component of the Global Partners Project is an evidence base on joint education in emergencies planning, coordination and response, which is being developed by the Overseas Development Institute. The graphic designer is expected to create a visual identity and design profile, layout documents and produce infographics on behalf of this partnership.

Background

UNICEF leads/co-leads four Clusters and Areas of Responsibility (AORs), namely Nutrition, Child Protection, WASH and Education, the latter co-lead by Save the Children.

The Global Education Cluster brings together NGOs, UN agencies, academics, and other partners under the shared goal of ensuring predictable, well-coordinated and equitable provision of education for children affected by humanitarian crises.

The GEC provides support to Education Clusters and Education in Emergencies (EiE) working groups in countries before, during and after a humanitarian crisis to strengthen cluster readiness, planning, coordination and response. The GEC supports Education Clusters through a three-tiered approach: (1) Direct and remote field support to country Clusters; (2) Providing guidance and capacity-building through training, development of tools and procedures, and knowledge management, and; (3) Global engagement and advocacy with partners in the wider humanitarian and education sectors.
