Graphic Design & Layout Support for Scorecard Templates

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy, emphasizing the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families, translates this commitment to children’s rights into action. For UNICEF, equity means that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential, without discrimination, bias, or favouritism. To the degree that any child has an unequal chance in life — in its social, political, economic, civic, and cultural dimensions — her or his rights are violated. There is growing evidence that investing in the health, education and protection of a society’s most disadvantaged citizens — addressing inequity — not only will give all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential but also will lead to sustained growth and stability of countries. Therefore, the focus on equity is so vital. It accelerates progress towards realizing the human rights of all children, which is the universal mandate of UNICEF, as outlined by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, while also supporting the equitable development of nations.

UNICEF Papua New Guinea is developing scorecards for each district and province in Papua New Guinea on youth and children related indicators. These are standardized, high-quality scorecards that present province- and district-level data in a clear, consistent, and visually compelling format. The scorecards provide a visual representation of how each area is faring on key children- and youth-related indicators. The scorecards will be utilized as a critical policy and public advocacy tool, particularly through PNG’s Special Parliamentary Committee for Children and Youth Well-Being (SPCCY), to monitor progress on key children- and youth-related indicators, hold government accountable for ensuring service delivery, and identify and ad-dress implementation bottlenecks. All data, indicators, and technical inputs will be provided by the Programme Monitoring Unit (PMU) and programme teams. The UN Volunteer will focus on visual design, layout, and production, ensuring clarity, consistency, and quality.

Under the direct supervision of the Communications and Advocacy Specialist, the Online Volunteer will support the design and production of standardized 2-page scorecard templates. The assignment will focus on the visual design, layout, and formatting using data and content provided directly by UNICEF programme teams and the Programme Monitoring Unit (PMU). Key responsibilities will include: - Design standardized 2-page scorecard templates for both province-level and district-level reporting. - Develop a consistent visual system, including: layout structure and grid system; typography and visual hierarchy; colour palette aligned with UNICEF branding guidelines. - Create structured placeholders for: Demographic information; Sector performance indicators; - Include key messages and highlights; Maps, graphics, and visual elements. - Deliver fully editable master templates in InDesign and/or Canva. -Apply the templates to 2–3 pilot scorecards for testing purposes. - Revise and refine layouts based on real data inputs and feedback from the PMU and UNICEF programme teams. - Finalize templates for large-scale rollout and production, and deliver all files in PDF versions with fully editable source files. Expected outputs will be 1 finalized province-level 2-page scorecard template, and 1 finalized district-level 2-page scorecard template. 2–3 pilot scorecards for testing and refinement may be required. The Online Volunteer will not be responsible for data analysis, validation, or interpretation. All data, indicators, and written content will be provided directly by the Programme Monitoring Unit and UNICEF programme teams.
