Background Under the Communication and Advocacy Strategy, UNICEF Thailand aims to win support for the cause of children from decision makers and the public. To achieve this goal, UNICEF must be the leading voice for children and young people. UNICEF’s communication must proactively raise new and emerging issues for children, as well as respond authoritatively to issues being debated in the media.

Also, the rapid growth in social media has further complicated media handling as these platforms require immediate and careful management.

Approximately 20 senior staff and officers are expected to be trained. UNICEF staff are often called upon to give interviews to the local and international media on children’s issues. The training will increase the effectiveness with which they engage with the media in print, digital and TV. Location and Duration: The actual media training is expected to happen around early July over the course of 2 days at UNICEF Thailand Office in Bangkok, Thailand. Contract period: 1 June – 30 September 2023 The training should be held for 7-8 hours, excluding two coffee breaks of 15 minutes each and one lunch break of one hour.
