The COVID-19 pandemic has eroded recent health and development gains in Indonesia as elsewhere. From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, the Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) working group (RCCE WG) has supported national efforts to address the immediate, and longer-term effects of COVID-19. Comprised of various members, multi-disciplinary actors, the working group has grown from a small group to a network all over the country. Working through with and alongside national and sub-national, the RCCE WG has supported a wide range of response measures and interventions.

The RCCE working group, co-led by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC), provides a strategic and significant contribution to the pandemic response by strengthening coordination between key stakeholders, advocating for evidence-based and inclusive response through data generation, knowledge sharing and capacity building, facilitating dialog between community and decision-makers, public awareness campaign as well as documentation of lessons learned and best practice.

In addition to co-leading the RCCE GW, UNICEF also provides strategic advice and technical support to the COVID-19 response, working closely with MOH, the national committee for COVID-19 response (KPCPEN), and other partners. The main areas of support include supporting the official website and social media for COVID-19 response, addressing hoaxes and misinformation, capacity building for health care workers and civil society organizations, evidence generation, and community mobilization, including youth engagement.

In consultation with partners – and to be more strategic – UNICEF has agreed to hire a senior consultant to provide technical and strategic support to the RCCE working group. The senior consultant will also provide support to UNICEF-led RCCE response and work closely with the UNICEF Communication for Development Specialist in the RCCE planning, implementation, and reporting.
