Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
As an RCCE Officer with UNICEF in Lusaka, you will lead community-level health and risk communication strategies during public health emergencies. Your day-to-day involves coordinating with local leaders, NGOs, and government partners to design culturally relevant messaging, conduct rapid community assessments, and monitor feedback loops to adapt interventions. Expect field visits to rural and peri-urban areas, training volunteers, and ensuring vulnerable groups (women, children, disabled) are reached.
Key skills to highlight
Show proven experience in social behavior change (SBC) campaigns, crisis communication, and community engagement (e.g., cholera, COVID-19, measles). Fluency in English and at least one Zambian language (e.g., Bemba, Nyanja) is a strong plus. Highlight data collection and analysis (Kobo Toolbox, Excel), training facilitation, and ability to work under pressure with minimal supervision.
Taf4All CV tip
Tailor your CV by adding a "Community Engagement" section: list 3-5 specific, short-term results (e.g., "Trained 50 community health workers in risk messaging during a 2023 cholera outbreak, reaching 10,000+ people"). Use bullet points with numbers and verbs like "coordinated," "designed," "assessed." Avoid generic job descriptions.
Before you apply
UNICEF never charges fees for applications or interviews. Verify the job only on unicef.org/careers. Be cautious of emails asking for bank details or upfront payments. If in doubt, contact UNICEF Zambia directly via their official website.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready
ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
