The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) produces data to fuel the policies and investments needed to transform lives and propel the world towards its development goals. Providing statistical and technical inputs for global, regional and funding mechanisms for education, the UIS enables the work of the UN Transforming Education Summit, the Global Education Cooperation Mechanism (GCM), G7, G20, etc. The UIS meets data needs for emerging priorities, for example, most recently, tracking and monitoring impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education worldwide. The UIS maintains the most comprehensive education statistics database in the world – the official source of data of the UN system, used for various purposes, including for the SDG monitoring.
Established in 1999, the UIS serves as UNESCO's statistical agency. The UIS is focused on delivering cross-nationally comparable data for global, regional and development agendas, covering the fields of education, science, culture, and communication and information. The UIS assures the technical support for Member States to produce transformative data based on the 3 pillars (Standards and methodologies; Data production; Brokerage and outreach). The UIS vision, described in its Medium Term strategy, is to serve the needs of Member States, ensuring that their policies and decision-making are informed by sound statistical information, that they can benchmark progress towards national and international goals, and learn from the experience of others.
The Communication Officer, under the authority of the Director of UNESCO Institute for Statistics, is responsible for implementing communication strategies to enhance the Institute's visibility. This involves creating a corporate branding strategy, promoting the use of UIS data with innovative content and online services, establishing outreach channels for key stakeholders, and facilitating fundraising efforts. The broader plan seeks to strengthen UIS as the preferred source for statistical data by defining key stakeholder messages, developing branding guidelines, aligning teams with stakeholder priorities, using customer satisfaction surveys to improve outreach, and creating 'advocacy' materials for social media dissemination. Additionally, the plan includes the development of new products and online services, expanded communications with governments, donors, and partners, effective messaging channel identification, enhanced stakeholder engagement through social media, improved relationships with partners, and exploring opportunities to integrate UIS data into larger initiatives, particularly those linked to the SDGs.
Specifically, the incumbent will be responsible for the following:
Support the development, implementation, and monitoring of communication strategies focused on priority issues to establish UIS as the trusted source of statistical data and promote the use of UIS data. Coordinate diverse projects within the team related to public-facing materials in collaboration with United Nations System organizations, donors, NGOs, and agencies as needed. Provide programmatic and substantive reviews of materials prepared by UIS teams for presentation to internal and external bodies, ensuring high-quality standards and clarity. Draft and edit media materials, such as press releases, articles, Op-Eds, Q&As, key messages, and other major corporate communications materials for both internal and external audiences.
