TERMS OF REFERENCE
Background and Rationale
UNICEF is operating in an increasingly dynamic and complex environment, requiring frequent strategic transitions to remain relevant and effective. These transitions—driven by technological advancements, evolving mandates, and external shifts—bring opportunities but also generate uncertainty and resistance.
While leadership often focuses on senior management, the role of
Country Office Staff Associations (COSA)
and their elected representatives is critical in ensuring smooth, equitable, and successful implementation of change. As direct representatives of the workforce, COSA Chairs and ExCom members are well placed to voice staff concerns and foster engagement. Yet, their capacity to lead, communicate, and mediate during strategic transitions is often underdeveloped, resulting in resistance and mistrust.
To address this gap, the
Regional UNICEF Staff Association (RUSA)
, jointly with the Regional Chief of People and Culture, will host a targeted leadership and change management training during its
Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls, 10–14 November 2025
, as part of the broader Future Focus Initiative (FFI) and aligned with the Global and ESAR Staff Support Strategy.
PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
The consultancy will
design and facilitate a 1.5-day interactive workshop
to strengthen the leadership capacity of COSA Chairs in navigating organizational changes.
The training will equip participants with practical and transferable skills and tools to:
- Lead with confidence during transitions.
- Communicate effectively and address staff concerns constructively.
- Mediate conflicts and foster psychological safety.
- Influence decision-making to better represent staff interests.
- Build resilience and sustain peer-to-peer learning beyond the training.
- Build transferable skills and toolkit to enable COSA Chairs to conduct CO training sessions to current and future COSA members (TOT format)
Objectives
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate increased knowledge of change management.
- Apply effective communication and negotiation skills to real-life change scenarios.
- Use at least three practical tools (e.g., communication plan, staff feedback template, mediation framework) in their country office contexts.
- Strengthening collaboration across COSAs through a regional peer learning community.
- Have a TOT toolkit to transfer the knowledge learnt also to their COSA members in their country offices.
- Report increased confidence (target: ≥75% of participants) in leading staff during organizational transitions.
Scope of Work / Tasks
The Consultant/firm Will Undertake The Following
Phase 1 – Preparation (October 2025)
- Conduct virtual consultations with RUSA ExCom, Regional HR Chief, and selected COSA Chairs to refine priorities.

- Building transferable skills to enable COSA Chairs to conduct CO training sessions to current and future COSA members (TOT format) in their country offices.
