External Relations and Communications Specialist
Country: Nepal
Organization: UN Volunteers
Closing date: 5 Jan 2026
Mission and objectives
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is a voluntary-funded international organization with a presence in over 150 countries, including Nepal. UNFPA is guided by the Programme of Action of the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the Sustainable Development Goals. Its mission is to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled.
The work of UNFPA is based on the premise that all human beings are entitled to equal rights and protections. We focus on women and young people because these are groups whose ability to exercise their right to sexual and reproductive health is often compromised. Our work is informed by an understanding of population dynamics, human rights and cultural sensitivity.
Context
UNFPA has been operating in Nepal since 1971, partnering with federal, provincial, and local governments, civil society organizations, and development partners to ensure equitable access to sexual and reproductive health services, especially for women, adolescents, and marginalized groups. UNFPA Nepal is implementing its Ninth Country Programme (2023–2027), which focuses on achieving three transformative results: ending preventable maternal deaths, eliminating unmet need for family planning, and eradicating gender-based violence and harmful practices. The programme is closely aligned with Nepal’s national development priorities, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF 2023–2027).
To achieve these results, UNFPA Nepal places strong emphasis on effective communication and strategic advocacy. Raising awareness, showcasing results, and fostering public dialogue are essential for driving social and policy changes in areas such as reproductive health, gender equality, and youth empowerment. The office works to ensure that its voice is heard, and its impact seen—through media engagement, digital storytelling, publications, human-interest stories, and high-level advocacy.
In this context, the IUNV-Communication Specialist will play a critical role in strengthening UNFPA’s communications and public information efforts. The position offers an opportunity to contribute to positive social change, amplify marginalized voices, and build UNFPA’s visibility and credibility among national and international audiences.

Advocacy-Oriented Policy Review and Analysis on Labour Mobility Pathways for Refugees in Asia–Pacific
Country: Australia
Organization: International Organization for Migration
Closing date: 5 Jan 2026
Project Context and Scope
The Asia–Pacific region hosts major migration corridors between South/Southeast Asian countries of origin and high-income destination countries. Refugees and other displaced populations in the region face systemic barriers to accessing regular labour mobility pathways, including limited work rights, documentation constraints, exit permit requirements, and exclusion from skills training and recruitment channels.
Within this context, IOM is implementing a new Train to Hire project, a pioneering initiative designed to enhance access to labour migration pathways for refugees and displaced populations in the Asia-Pacific region. The core concept is to establish an employer-driven "train-to-hire" model that aligns vocational and complementary skills training with existing and potential labour migration pathways. This model aims to bridge the gap between refugee skillsets and labour market needs by identifying suitable training providers, training modalities, adapting curricula in consultation with employers, and piloting the approach with a small cohort. The initiative also explores governance arrangements and enabling conditions necessary for sustainable implementation, with the mid-term goal of scaling the model to other countries.
The project seeks to advocate for inclusive, accessible, and sustainable labour mobility pathways that better integrate refugees and displaced people into migration systems while also addressing labour shortages and development priorities in destination countries. To support this, a concise, advocacy-oriented policy review is required covering six countries:
Destination: New Zealand, Japan, South Korea
Source: Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia
This consultancy will leverage existing IOM internal and external labour migration analyses, regional datasets, and policy papers, as well as complement any gaps with additional information sourced from key informant interviews, to produce a strategic, targeted, advocacy-oriented policy analysis that identifies:
Government positions, sensitivities, and political economy dynamics related to refugee and migrant mobility;
Gaps and opportunities within key policy, legislative, administrative, and infrastructure relevant to labour mobility for both migrants and refugees;
Opportunities for integrating refugees into existing labour migration, skills pipelines, and training-to-hire schemes;
Potential high-impact advocacy entry points relevant to each country context, aligned with government priorities and constraints.
This analysis will directly inform the project's advocacy planning and strategy and contribute to a multi-stakeholder workshop.
Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing
IOM Australia, within the project: Train-to-Hire Framework in the Asia-Pacific Region
IOM Headquarters Labour Migration Unit and the IOM Regional Office in Asia-Pacific will support the consultancy planning and resources.

Closing date: 06 January 2026
Nature of the consultancy:
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission in IOM Vanuatu and the direct supervision of the Humanitarian Preparedness, Response and Recovery Coordinator, with technical oversight from the Durable Solutions Technical Specialist, and in close coordination with the Department of Climate Change’s (DoCC) Acting Director and the Climate Change Adviser, and working closely with DoCC and relevant ministries, as well as relevant teams within IOM Vanuatu, IOM Regional Office in the Asia Pacific and Headquarters, the incumbent will be responsible for supporting Government of Vanuatu’s efforts related to Durable Solutions, Displacement, Relocation and Climate Mobility in Vanuatu.
The successful candidate will be required to have the knowledge and skills to liaise with Government, non-Government and community partners and other stakeholders, draft related project documents, conduct community consultations respectfully and in line with the principles of free prior and informed consent, support with logistics and carry out assigned tasks under minimal supervision and in a timely manner.
Project Context and Scope:
Vanuatu is consistently ranked as one of the most hazard prone states in the world. Every year around half of the population of Vanuatu is impacted by extreme climate related events resulting in a high number of displacements. As the impacts of climate change continue - and many families are displaced and remain so for long periods of time - the importance of a government-led response, framed by national standards related to displacement, is more crucial than ever.
The Government of Vanuatu has been undertaking several national efforts to address climate change and disaster-Induced displacement. The Government of Vanuatu’s National Policy on Climate Change and Disaster Induced Displacement, launched in 2018, addresses different aspects of climate related mobility - namely migration, displacement, and planned relocation- and emphasizes an approach of durable solutions. The policy serves as a national roadmap to mitigate the challenges that have and will arise by applying a strategic focus and clear plans.
Building on the National Policy on Climate Change and Disaster-Induced Displacement (2018), the Government of Vanuatu is currently undertaking the revision of the national policy as well as developing institutional frameworks, implementation plans, and relocation strategies for preventing, addressing and resolving displacement. Dedicated national capacity is needed to ensure sustainability of these ongoing efforts.
In line with priorities set forth by the Government of Vanuatu in the National displacement policy, the National Sustainable Development Plan (2016-2030) and the Loss and Damage Policy (2025), the position will support the Government of Vanuatu’s efforts to address displacement needs particularly in the context of climate change and disasters, integrate development principles into the humanitarian response, and enhance the Government's capacity to address displacement risks and identify durable solutions.

Country: Syrian Arab Republic
Organization: Sign of Hope
Closing date: 18 Jan 2026
Tender Notice
Organisation: Hoffnungszeichen | Sign of Hope e.V.; www.hoffnungszeichen.de, www.sign-of-hope.org
Position: Feasibility Study Consultant
Type of Contract: Short-Term Consultancy
Location: Home-based with field mission travel to Aleppo, Northern Syria, Syria
Relevant languages: English and Arabic (required)
Application Deadline: 18 January 2026
Starting Date: 01 February 2026
Project Title: Fostering Climate-Resilient Livelihoods, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), and Social Cohesion in Post-Conflict Aleppo City
Total Project Budget: 1.000.000 Euro (to be approved)
Hoffnungszeichen | Sign of Hope e.V. (SoH) is announcing an open tender procedure for consultancy services for a feasibility study in Syria.
Background and Organisational Setting
SoH is a Christian motivated organisation for Human Rights, Humanitarian Assistance and Development Cooperation. From its base in Constance, Germany, SoH is committed to helping those in distress and exploited people worldwide.
This feasibility study is commissioned, prior to project implementation, under the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) budget for development projects run by private organisations.
SoH will be the private German executing agency and the contracting party. The project will be implemented via a local partner.
Project Context
Aleppo city, Syria’s former economic powerhouse, has been severely damaged across its residential, academic and industrial sectors as a result of years of conflict. Now, Aleppo faces a series of complex challenges as people are trying to adapt to a new normal. High unemployment rates lead to significant economic vulnerability as well as dependency on external support. Climate change related vulnerabilities such as water scarcity and urban heat stress are increasing. The education sector is fragile, and children are lacking safe and well-equipped schools as well as adequately trained school staff to explore healthy coping mechanism for their experiences in a war-torn Syria. In parallel, displacement and tensions have broken down social cohesion among Aleppo’s ethnically diverse, religiously mixed communities, exacerbated by years of conflict and halting recovery responses.
The project is supposed to support the sustainable rebuilding of post-conflict Aleppo city with a multi-sector and evidence-informed coordinated approach, targeting vulnerable groups (particularly women, youth, displaced people and returnees). The intervention in Aleppo shall provide future perspectives by linking economic recovery to climate change adaptions. At the same time, past traumas shall be addressed by fostering mental and psychosocial resilience of communities and strengthening social cohesion - thereby unlocking Aleppo’s potential to recovery with three interlinked components:
Component 1 Livelihoods: Addressing unemployment, economic fragility and climate change challenges by equipping vulnerable groups with market-relevant, green-oriented skills and pathways to dignified employment (e.g. women-led cooperatives; training/mentoring with small business grants; vocational training and apprenticeship program).
Component 2 Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) & Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS): Restoring access to quality primary education (e.g. rehabilitation and equipping of primary schools; implementation of SEL and MHPSS programs at primary schools; capacity building of teachers; enhancing parent and community involvement).
Component 3 Cross-Cutting Social Cohesion: Fostering reconciliation and bridging divisions among Aleppo’s diverse population to support community-led recovery (e.g. women-led and gender-balanced peace groups; women- and youth-led local recovery initiatives).
Further information will be shared after selection.
Feasibility Study Objectives
The purpose of the feasibility study is to provide SoH with a solid foundation for developing a complete project proposal/concept, by identifying project prerequisites, opportunities and risks. This process includes an assessment of the feasibility of the proposed project intervention to assess if it can plausibly achieve planned objectives given existing contextual realities.
This comprehensive study will verify relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the proposed project intervention. The study will provide concrete and practical recommendations that will assist with the finalisation of project design elements, including the LogFrame, risk analysis, problem analysis and relevance of the proposed project intervention, stakeholder analysis, among others.
The study will support the project quality assurance measures implemented by SoH and contribute to the decision-making process regarding the funding of the proposed project activities.

Grants Officer - SAIC2

Organization: Plan International
Closing date: 6 Jan 2026
THE ORGANISATION
Founded in 1937, Plan International, Inc. ("PII") is a globally recognized non-profit dedicated to advancing children's rights and gender equality in both humanitarian and development contexts. With over 80 years of experience, Plan International addresses the root causes of challenges faced by girls and vulnerable children, working in 70+ countries. The organization collaborates with children, young people, supporters, and partners to create a just world, acknowledging that the potential of every child is often hindered by poverty, violence, exclusion, disasters, and discrimination.
Plan International Kenya (PIK), operational since 1982, focuses on long-term development. Collaborating closely with local communities and governments, PIK implements programs to enhance the well-being of children in areas such as Nairobi, Machakos, Kajiado, Tharaka-Nithi, Siaya, Kwale, Kilifi, Homa Bay, Kisumu, Tana River, Turkana, and Marsabit.
Under the current Country Strategy (July 2021 – June 2026), PIK aims to end teenage pregnancies and gender-based violence against girls. This goal aligns with four strategic objectives:
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR): Improve access to SRHR services and information to reduce teenage pregnancies and harmful practices in Kenya.
Prevention and Response to Gender-Based Violence: Ensure functional child and girls' rights protection mechanisms to prevent and respond to all forms of violence and abuse.
Protecting Girls and Young Women in Crisis and Climate Change Adaptation: Minimize the impact of disasters on girls, young women, families, and communities.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The Safe and Inclusive Cities Phase II (SAIC 2) is a multi-year programme implemented by Plan International Kenya in informal settlements in Nairobi and Kisumu. The project seeks to strengthen civil society organizations (CSOs) and empower young people, particularly young women, to actively influence urban governance and development processes, ensuring cities are safe, inclusive, and responsive to their needs. The project aims to strengthen youth civic engagement, improve access to SRHR information, enhance protection from SGBV, and promote youth economic empowerment through skills development and access to decent income by supporting youth-led green enterprises and initiatives to grow and become greener, while fostering climate resilience and social accountability in urban spaces. SAIC 2 is implemented through partnerships with 11 partners, including both technical partners and youth-led organizations, with a further 12 youth groups under the Youth Climate Action Accelerator (YCAA) to be onboarded in 2026.
