Communication Associate

Purpose of Consultancy:

UNFPA’s humanitarian response plan for the crisis in Palestine is focused on addressing the
urgent needs of women and girls, particularly those in Gaza affected by the ongoing war, as
well as by the escalations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The plan emphasizes the
delivery of life-saving Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and Gender-Based Violence
(GBV) protection and response services, while also integrating the needs of adolescents and
youth. Since the conflict’s escalation, UNFPA has intensified its efforts to ensure continuous
support for women, girls, and youth in crisis.
In this challenging environment, UNFPA remains on the ground, delivering humanitarian
assistance and advocating for essential conditions such as securing a permanent ceasefire,
ensuring unimpeded access to Gaza, easing restrictions for essential supplies, and protecting
civilians and civilian infrastructure to enable the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance.
The purpose of this consultancy is to gather and develop impactful communication materials
from Gaza to strengthen UNFPA’s advocacy efforts and showcase the organization’s
response to the crisis. The consultant will collaborate with the Gaza team, implementing
partners, and relevant stakeholders to document the humanitarian situation and its effects on
women and girls, particularly adolescent girls, pregnant women, and GBV survivors. These
materials will support UNFPA's emergency communications, advocacy initiatives, and
resource mobilization activities.
