Restless Development Zambia jobs in Zambia
We know young people have the power to solve the challenges we face in our world, but they are being side-lined. We are the agency that works with young people so they can lead in solving those challenges. Whether that means supporting communities to end child marriage or prevent HIV, we work with young people to change their lives and the lives of people in their communities. Our programmes are genuinely life-changing, but we can’t do any of this without talented, creative individuals at every level of our organisation.
PURPOSE OF THE CONSULTANCY
Restless Development is seeking the services of a qualified and experienced consultant to provide invaluable support in three crucial areas: the development of videos, the design of youth-centric animations, and the design and printing of U-Report publicity materials. The U-Report is a platform that allows young people to express their opinions on issues that matter to them, and we aim to use this platform to promote and raise awareness on various topics such as harmful practices, gender-based violence (GBV), and ending child marriages. The Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) is taking steps to eradicate child marriages and their resulting harmful practices by 2030 by adopting deliberate policies that address gender inequality in the country in line with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Some of the efforts taken include the enactment of the Children’s Code Act of 2022, which explicitly prohibits harmful cultural rites and religious or traditional practices that are likely to negatively affect the child’s life, health, social welfare, dignity, and physical or psychological development.
BACKGROUND TO THE PROGRAMME
Restless Development, in partnership with UNICEF, is implementing the Chitetezo project, aimed at ending child marriages (ECM) and gaining further understanding of the resulting harmful practices (HP), including teenage pregnancies and gender-based violence (GBV), as they relate to young people. Additionally, the project will include a vigorous social media advocacy and awareness-raising campaign. The campaign aims to target parliamentarians, religious and traditional/religious leaders, local authorities, and other decision-makers, as well as engage and educate wider audiences, including young people, parents, and the broader community, to create a more significant impact and mobilise support for the cause.
