For every child, empowerment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UNICEF Tanzania works closely with the Government and implementing partners to strengthen evidence-based Social and\u00a0Behaviour\u00a0Change (SBC) programming across health, nutrition, WASH, child protection, education, and emergency contexts. In an increasingly digital society, where Tanzania has over\u00a030 million mobile phone users<\/strong>\u00a0and rapidly growing use of platforms such as\u00a0WhatsApp, Facebook, and SMS-based services<\/strong>, digital channels have become critical spaces where beliefs are formed, information is exchanged, and behaviors are influenced.<\/p>\n

Recognizing this shift, the SBC Section integrates\u00a0social and community listening, digital insights, and data-driven approaches<\/strong>\u00a0to generate real-time intelligence on public\u00a0perceptions, misinformation trends, emerging risks, and behavioral barriers affecting children, adolescents, and caregivers. These approaches are essential in a context where digital platforms are often the first point of access to information, particularly for young people and urban and peri-urban populations.<\/p>\n

To strengthen analytical capacity and ensure\u00a0the timely\u00a0generation of actionable evidence, the SBC Section seeks an intern to support\u00a0social listening, data analysis, and the design and management of surveys<\/strong>. The intern will contribute to systematic knowledge generation and support\u00a0programme\u00a0teams in translating digital and community insights into\u00a0practical, responsive, and impactful programmatic recommendations<\/strong>, ensuring SBC interventions\u00a0remain\u00a0relevant in Tanzania\u2019s evolving digital landscape.<\/p>\n

The intern will\u00a0gain skills and\u00a0expertise\u00a0to\u00a0apply their learning in data science in real time.\u00a0\u00a0The interns will be\u00a0mentored closely\u00a0by the\u00a0Social and Community Listening Analyst to strengthen\u00a0social listening systems<\/strong>, enhance\u00a0data quality<\/strong>, and support\u00a0surveys and\u00a0evidence\u00a0production<\/strong>\u00a0to inform SBC strategies and interventions.<\/p>\n
