Fast-changing conditions and critical challenges of today – amongst which global pandemics, climate change, digital transformations, and the interplay of these trends – require large-scale and future-oriented reforms. Public administrations are under pressure to design and implement such reforms, while simultaneously addressing internal needs and building capacities to prepare themselves for the future. In this context, efforts to recalibrate the engagement of the public administrations with private consulting services and to develop internal/in-house consulting capacities for the design and implementation of reforms are being initiated across countries. 

Seven Member States (i.e., Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, and Latvia) have requested targeted technical support in addressing the afore-mentioned needs. Submitted and funded through the EU’s Technical Support Instrument, the ensuing multi-country project will be implemented over a period of 18 months by UNESCO with the aim of achieving the following outcomes:

Approved action plan to establish in-house consulting focusing on a selected service portfolio adapted to each participating Member State;
Capacity built for the implementation of the action plan in the participating Member States; and
Increased awareness on the importance of in-house consulting and creation of an EU network of experts.

To this end, the junior consultants are expected to complete the set of tasks detailed below in their respective country of assignment.
Required Qualifications:
  • Advanced university degree (master’s degree or equivalent) in public administration, governance, public policy, knowledge-policy nexus or evidence-based policy making.
Professional Experience:
  • Track record, with minimum 3 years of experience, in government innovation, public administration, good governance, knowledge-policy nexus, institutional development and capacity building or similar areas.
  • Demonstrated experience in conducting stakeholder analysis and consultations.
  • Experience working with or within public administration is an asset.
Skills:

  • Strong interpersonal skills, including interacting with various actors and working effectively and respectfully in a complex environment on sensitive issues.
  • Understanding and adherence to the UN principles.
