UNICEF MENA Regional Office has been working diligently with country offices to advocate for the inclusion of young people in national delegations who will be negotating on their country's behalf at COP 28 in Dubai, 2023. Through their inclusion in the official national delegations, UNICEF aims to empower young people to participate meaningfully in climate negotiations and policymaking, ensuring that their voices are heard and are reflected in the decision-making process. Therefore, UNICEF seeks to contract an experienced consultant with existing capacity and experience delivering climate related trainings to young people to ensure the young people participating in their national delegations are capacitated and prepared to participate meaningfully as climate negotiators and/or observers at COP 28. The envisioned consultancy will deliver a comprehensive training programme in both face-to-face and online workshops for approximately 30 young people who have been identified by UNICEF country offices across MENA
Scope of Work:
