**Contract type**: Consultant, Individual Contractor Full-Time

**Duty Station**: Panama City

**Level**: Consultancy

**Location**: Panama

**Categories**: Communication

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.

**For every child, **_hope_**

The climate crisis is a crisis of rights for children. In Latin America and the Caribbean, it is estimated that 9 out of 10 are exposed to at least two overlapping climate and environmental crises. Children are the least responsible for climate change, yet they will suffer its consequences the most, and for the longest time.

More than two years since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Latin America and the Caribbean, some hard-won gains made by countries in the region for children over the past two decades have been reversed. Young people are a massive cohort, with an immense potential to benefit their societies socially, politically, and economically. We have a responsibility to recognize the rights of young people and work with them as partners and agents of change for today and tomorrow.

Within UNICEF’s Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Office (LACRO) Communication section, the team provides support and works closely with the Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction (CEED) unit to strengthen the organization’s capacity to engage young people as advocates and campaigners for children’s rights, through our flagship campaigns and initiatives, as well as strategic alliances; and ensure that the perspectives and voices of young people are an integral part of our communications and advocacy.

UNICEF promotes the rights and welfare of all children and adolescents in everything we do. Together with our allies, we work in 190 countries and territories to transform this commitment into practical actions that benefit all children, especially focusing our efforts on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded, worldwide.

The UNICEF Latin America and Caribbean Regional Office is based in in Panama, operating in 36 territories, including 24 country offices.

UNICEF works to put the rights and well-being of the most disadvantaged children at the heart of the social, political, and economic agenda, in line with our equity focus, working across our organization and with our partners in government, civil society and the private sector to support shifts in public policy, fuel social engagement, and increase investment for children.

**How can you make a difference?**
