Consultancy: Information Services in Humanitarian Contexts

Access to trusted, timely, and actionable information is increasingly recognized as a critical component of effective humanitarian response. In recent years, humanitarian actors, media development organizations, and local information providers have experimented with system-wide information services that seek to provide affected populations with reliable information at scale, strengthen participation and accountability, and improve coordination across sectors.

Building on discussions within the humanitarian and media development communities, DW Akademie seeks to develop a Theory of Change and an accompanying advocacy strategy to promote wider recognition and adoption of system-wide information services in humanitarian contexts.

DW Akademie intends to engage a consultant (m/f/d) with experience in humanitarian information ecosystems, theories of change, and advocacy strategy development. The goal is to document lessons learned from existing system-wide information services, develop a Theory of Change, and design an advocacy strategy to promote wider adoption of this approach among humanitarian actors, donors, and policymakers.
