International consultant_ Workshop Facilitator for Staff Retreat

UNICEF works in some of the world-s toughest places, to reach the world-s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

Background

UNICEF Myanmar has a large and diverse office with 172 national and 43 international staff based in 9 locations throughout the country. The UNICEF Myanmar Country Programme Management Plan (CPMP) for 2018-2022 was prepared in the first few months of 2017 and submitted to the Regional office in May 2017, with approval being granted following the Programme Budget Review (PBR) in July 2017. Since the CPMP was prepared there have been further developments in Myanmar that may necessitate adjustments to the CPMP to ensure that UNICEF-s staffing structure, office locations and management processes are optimal for supporting the country programme results for children, as outlined in the Country Programme Document (CPD). In addition, UNICEF Myanmar is looking to improve communication between teams and offices and encourage a “one UNICEF” model.

Context:

Considering the challenging environment and programme, it is important to initiate a process to facilitate adjustments to the CPMP in a timely manner that is appropriate for supporting the achievement of results through a participatory process that respects existing staff.

The last staff retreat was held 15 to 17 January 2014. Since then the Staff Association has been advocating with management to have an all staff retreat. Based on discussions in the Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) between Staff Association and management it was agreed that the time is right to have an all staff retreat considering the potential changes and the unique operating environment in country.

Current Situation:

UNICEF MCO is conducting a 3-day retreat during the period 3-5 December 2018 in (NPT). All staff from Yangon Office and field offices are expected to attend. It is estimated to have a total of 200 staff comprised of International Professionals, National Officers and General Services staff.

The objectives of the staff retreat are:

· To ensure that all staff are familiar with the potential changes being faced by UNICEF in Myanmar and consider the implications for them as individuals and as teams

· To help staff understand the factors that affect their life balance and how they can take action to maintain good balance

· To provide a forum through which staff can share ideas and make suggestions on how UNICEF should strategize to cope with the potential changes being faced

· To strengthen team work within and between sections, including between country office and field offices

· To promote a working environment where UNICEF values are always upheld and where staff are happy, comfortable and productive.
