UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

The three main pillars of the programme are:
The programme is initially being funded by UNDP, the European Union Delegation to Tanzania and EAC, as well as the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO). The implementation is being led by UNDP Tanzania in partnership with the United Nations Capital Development Fund, UNCDF.
Scope of Work
The Communications, Outreach and Advocacy Lead (Analyst) will assume the overall responsibility to the communication and advocacy function of the Funguo Innovation Programme. S/He will be expected to design mechanisms, strategies and interventions to come up with innovative and impactful content, platforms and strategic engagements to promote innovation and reach the right audience. The holder of the position will lead on mobilizing strategic partnerships around key innovation platforms such as Innovation Week and others and will coordinate the programme’s engagement via key social media channels, and develop and nurture partnerships with relevant media houses.
