DAI is looking to recruit Junior Non-Key Expert for Communication
Description of the Assignment
As part of TA workplan it’s envisaged that a Junior Non-Key Expert (JNKE) is to be recruited who will contribute to achieve the results under the A.PM4: Preparation and implementation of communication and visibility activities.
In line with the strategic approach of the TA, a communication and visibility plan was developed during the inception phase. Its main goal is to create awareness and visibility of the efforts of the project partners that are implementing projects under the Green and Smart Cities SASA Programme in Tanzania (SASA). In this assignment, the selected expert will review and update the SASA Communication and Visibility Plan, adjust it based on program needs, and implement it in coordination with the key stakeholders:
• Primary beneficiaries of the SASA program - PORALG and LGAs
• SASA program implementing partners – GIZ, AFD, Enabel, DAI
• EU Delegation to Tanzania and EU Member States
For this purpose, a workshop with project partners can be organized where the present Communication and Visibility Plan can be reviewed, changes agreed and then an updated document prepared. Aligning the communication efforts of the implementing partners through a program level visibility and communication plan will result in consistent communication about the objectives and activities of the SASA program and is fully aligned with Specific Objective 3 of the TA TOR, to support implementation of the SASA program. To achieve this, several activities have been envisaged as part of the plan to promote SASA activities and communicate achievements to the broad public.
Furthermore, developing and promoting a common branding for the SASA program will ensure consistent communication and messaging from the different implementing partners, while at the same time allowing for the unique visibility needs of the partners and organizations. Initial branding visuals for SASA have been already developed and will be used to produce additional communication and visibility materials for the entire programme. These materials will be mandatory for all events organized under the programme. Some revision of initial visuals will be needed for new events and activities as they are developed.
The communication and visibility plan will include the following activities:
The output of this assignment will be a revised/updated communication and visibility plan, a comprehensive set of communication and visibility activities and outputs developed to support the communication and visibility plan, the overall SASA Program and specific communication needs.
