About this role
UNICEF is seeking a Social Behaviors Change Consultant based in Juba, South Sudan, to conduct a comprehensive Behavioral and Social Drivers (BeSD) assessment. The primary objective is to identify individual, interpersonal, community, institutional, and policy-level factors influencing early learning, school readiness, and girls’ education. The consultant will generate actionable quantitative and qualitative evidence to inform the development of a national Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Strategy and implementation framework. This strategy aims to increase demand for Early Childhood Education (ECE), strengthen caregiver and community engagement, promote positive gender and social norms supporting girls’ education, and improve equitable access, participation, retention, and learning outcomes for children in targeted states. The role requires expertise in behavioral science, social norms analysis, and education policy within a humanitarian or development context. The consultant will work closely with UNICEF and partners to ensure the assessment yields practical insights for programmatic intervention. This is an international consultant position, open only to international candidates, based in Juba.
