**Background**:
UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

UN Women South Africa Multi-Country Office (SAMCO) is based in Pretoria, South Africa and serves five countries: South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and Swaziland.

Communication is central to the functioning of modern organizations, including UN Women in Africa. The strategic use of communication can significantly increase influence and support organizations’ outcomes. It is therefore critical for organizations to fully leverage all their communication assets to achieve impact and drive success. Communicating effectively is an important part of achieving this agenda. Over its first decade of existence, UN Women has already made significant progress in that arena, but gaps remain. To further maximize impact, it will be essential to further connect the dots: build synergies across the organization, enhance coordination, and build communication capacity across the region.

Key components of this retreat will include: editorial writing, practical session by visiting the project sites and documenting UN Women’s impact; innovation in communications; goodwill ambassador programme and global campaigns; and multimedia production

Building on last year’s successful Africa Communications Retreat the East & Southern Africa and West & Central Africa UN Women Communications Units will convene the annual retreat in Cape Town, South Africa to re-examine the lessons learned from previous years and devise more unified, structured, all-encompassing, and appropriate strategies for addressing communication practices in the region. The consultant will be required to assist in the planning and coordinating logistics prior to, during and after the retreat.

The consultant will be reporting to the communication analyst, and supported by the programme associate, who will be the point of contact on the contract and payment issues.
