job summary:
Communities are informed and involved in critical lifesaving messages through community engagement and mobilization sessions, and offer feedback and complain about existing services, according to the RWP reference to which the Social Mobilizers will contribute.
In addition to the deteriorating humanitarian situation/development that has left more than 24.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and protection, the country is currently dealing with public health epidemics such as cholera, polio, COVID-19, measles, and dengue, as well as SAM (severe acute malnutrition). UNICEF and its partners are collaborating with the government to properly react to these numerous catastrophes and help children.
According to the findings of a recent perception research, risk perception and handwashing behaviors are low among regular people. Handwashing rates among children, the elderly, and women have remained low. In Afghanistan, illness epidemics such as COVID-19, Acute Watery Diarrhoea-AWD, and measles are also prevalent. It was also discovered that people do not adhere to social distance and other COVID-19 preventative measures. Access to quality services and information and messaging has been difficult for remote populations. As a result, it contributes to poor demand for and intake of critical life-saving services, such as polio and COVID-19. It appears that there is a lack of understanding and readiness to wash hands at vital times.

Based on ancient customs, there has been a prevalent norm and strong belief that handwashing with soap is unnecessary.
UNICEF is looking for motivated and qualified social and community mobilization agents who can work in remote areas. The social mobilizer’s responsibilities include strengthening community engagement and implementing social and behavior change interventions to increase demand for services and promote key behaviors during both development and emergency situations.
In Afghanistan, the food situation remained poor. Roughly 10 million people in Afghanistan faced severe food insecurity in September and October 2021, a nearly 30% rise over the same period last year (International Food Security Phase Classification IPC phase 3 or above) (14.5 million people).
Drought, the breakdown of public sector services, the severe economic crisis, and rising food costs were the primary causes, all of which had a direct influence on women’s and children’s nutrition.
In many sections of the nation, rates of acute malnutrition among children and women remain over the emergency level. The previous Afghan government proclaimed a drought in June 2021, and the fighting intensified until August 2021, necessitating the provision of life-saving health and nutrition services, particularly for children under the age of five and pregnant and lactating women (PLWs). In 2022, 4.7 million people are expected to require humanitarian nutrition care, with 1.1 million children under the age of five suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM).
In November 2021, UNICEF conducted a Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) screening in 26 internally displaced persons (IDP) settlements across 14 provinces, revealing a catastrophic level of acute malnutrition, with up to 42% of children aged 6-59 months requiring immediate assistance.
The focus will remain on the life-saving treatment of severe acute malnutrition while also emphasizing preventive and promotion initiatives to alleviate the burden of undernutrition on children and their families. This will include expanding services that protect and promote appropriate MIYCF practices, particularly complementary feeding for toddlers, investing in social behavior change communication, providing specialized nutritious food, strengthening community outreach support, and broadening the response to include services that address the underlying causes of malnutrition.
As a result, UNICEF is looking for motivated and qualified social and community mobilization agents who can work in remote areas to address the challenges and concerns of affected communities and various service providers, including the provincial level De facto authority and humanitarian communities. During both development and disaster situations, the social mobilizer’s mandate includes improving community participation and social and behavior change interventions to build demand for services and encourage essential behaviors. Furthermore, contextualized, tailored, and language-appropriate messages and information are required to encourage essential behaviors and sustain them for a longer length of time.
