UNDP National IC to Develop Family Planning (FP) Advocacy Guide and Media Toolkits Jobs in Kenya

Job Purpose:

In line with ICPD25 commitments, Kenya has developed investment cases for the achievement of the three transformative results, which outline a prioritized set of investments needed to achieve the transformative results and Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The Investment Case timeframe is aligned to the development cycles of the MTPs, CIDPs, Sectoral Pans, UNSDCF, and ICPD25 Commitments.

The proposed advocacy tool guide will therefore be used to strengthen advocacy activities under the Family Planning investment case advocacy strategy by providing a pre-packaged and comprehensive list of recommended activities, messages, and advocacy measures that can strengthen advocacy action targeting policymakers and planners at the national and county levels.

A review of the existing advocacy and media toolkits on Family Planning in Kenya developed in 2018 shows gaps in the content that will need to be addressed in order to bring the toolkits up to date with recent developments in the Family Planning sector.

The toolkits require significant updating in line with the new government policies such as the Population Policy, UNFPA 2022-25 strategic plan, ICPD25 and FP 2030 commitments, and the ongoing sustainable financing mechanism for commodity security.

In addition, the toolkits require updating to reflect developments in the Family Planning 2030 agenda including the focus on rights-based family planning, the necessary shift from funding to financing, as well as building strong and sustainable partnerships in the promotion of Family Planning

Further, there exists no updated FP advocacy guide and media advocacy tool kit to guide journalists on reporting on Family Planning as a key development agenda. The advocacy toolkits will be strengthened through the inclusion of a step-by-step guide on developing advocacy strategies, key messaging, best practice examples, and an M&E component to facilitate learning and impact measurement.

Once developed, the Family Planning advocacy guide and media toolkits will guide the rolling out of the Family planning investment case and also serve as key instruments to position Family Planning as an important driver of social and economic development.

When implemented by the Government, UNFPA, and partners, the toolkits will help contribute to ensuring the advocacy efforts are strategic, inclusive, and participatory, thus contributing to a high impact and effective approach to policy influencing.
