Fatih, Istanbul, Turkey United Nations Development Programme Full time
Visual and/or Verbal Storytelling Consultants – Photographers, Videographers, Journalists & Illustrators

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality, and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups, and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action, and peace and security.

To effectively communicate our impact, we are developing a roster of qualified visual and verbal storytelling consultants to support our priority areas. These consultants will help capture compelling stories and visuals to raise awareness, advocate for gender equality, and engage diverse audiences.

The roster will include photographers, videographers, illustrators, journalists, and storytellers skilled in capturing impactful narratives and visuals on gender equality, women's rights, and other UN Women ECA priorities. Consultants may also be called upon to conduct storytelling workshops or training for UN Women teams or partners.

All consultants selected are expected to meaningfully contribute to UN Women's overarching communication and advocacy efforts. Their work should effectively convey the impact of UN Women's initiatives on women's rights and empowerment across the Europe and Central Asia region and beyond. Through high-quality storytelling, visual content, and written materials, consultants are required to illustrate UN Women's contributions to advancing gender equality and empowering women in diverse contexts. Every deliverable must resonate with audiences, highlight UN Women's role, and strengthen public awareness and support for women's human rights and empowerment initiatives.

Duties and Responsibilities

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with UN Women ECA staff to develop story ideas that align with the organization's messaging and priorities.
  • Ensure all content is accurate, ethical, and aligns with UN Women's standards and values.
  • For visual storytelling: provide edited, high-resolution photos, video files, or illustrations ready for publication.
  • For verbal storytelling: deliver polished written pieces adhering to UN Women's style guide.
  • Conduct workshops or trainings if required, using participatory and skills-based methods.

The consultant will report to the Regional Communications Specialist and will be supported by the RO communications team.

Consultants on the roster may be engaged for specific assignments, which could include:

  • Visual Storytelling: Capture and produce high-quality photography and videography showcasing UN Women ECA's projects, events, and impacts, or produce creative, high-quality illustrations based on UN Women communications and advocacy priorities, as requested.
  • Verbal Storytelling: Write articles, success stories, profiles, and human-interest pieces focused on UN Women's priority themes.
  • Trainings and Workshops: Develop and conduct storytelling workshops and training sessions for UN Women staff or partners, covering effective storytelling techniques, ethical considerations, and audience engagement strategies.

Photographers/Videographers/Illustrators: Edited packages with requested visual materials as specified per assignment, with captions and additional information, if required.

Writers: Articles or written stories, proofread and finalized in line with UN Women's editorial guidelines.

Trainers/Facilitators: Workshop materials and a post-training report summarizing outcomes and participant feedback.

The timeline and exact deliverables will be agreed upon specific requests, based on the needs and availability of both parties.

Consultant's Workplace and Official Travel

This is a home-based consultancy, but consultants might be asked to travel based on the nature of the project, initiative, and concrete deliverables.

Core Values:

  • Respect for Diversity
  • Integrity
  • Professionalism

Core Competencies:

  • Awareness and Sensitivity Regarding Gender Issues
  • Accountability
  • Creative Problem Solving
  • Effective Communication

How to Apply

  • Personal P11
  • Only applicants who complete and upload a filled-in Personnel History Form will be reviewed. For this consultancy, applications are welcome from both international and national candidates.
  • All applications must include (as an attachment) the completed UN Women Personal History form (P-11) which can be downloaded from: UN Women P11 Form.

At UN Women, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment of mutual respect. UN Women recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, national origin, or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, competence, integrity, and organizational need.

UN Women has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the United Nations and UN Women, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment, abuse of authority, and discrimination. All selected candidates will be expected to adhere to UN Women's policies and procedures and the standards of conduct expected of UN Women personnel and will therefore undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
