Health Leadership / governanceThe United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has established a leading global position in delivering support to countries to prevent and combat corruption, serving as the guardian of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). Within UNODC, the overall substantive and implementation responsibilities and functions relating to UNCAC are vested with the Corruption and Financial Crime Branch (CFB).

This initiative is part of a wider technical assistance programme aimed at strengthening the legislative and institutional framework and capacity to more effectively prevent and fight corruption and money laundering in Haiti. Against this background, this consultancy will support the delivery and updating of dedicated materials aimed at strengthening Haiti’s capacity to detect, investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate corruption and money laundering cases, with particular attention to the gender dimensions of these crimes and gender-sensitive investigative approaches.

For more than four years, NWI has partnered with JASS (Just Associates) through the project “Building the Collective Power of Women for Rights and Resources in Mesoamerica”. Working across Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, the project supports women activists and movement leaders advancing rights, justice, and social change in their communities.
As part of this work, NWI is commissioning a bookazine: a hybrid publication that combines the depth of a book with the accessibility of a magazine. Drawing on in-depth interviews with women activists, the publication will seek to create a compelling narrative work that explores the experiences, motivations, challenges, and aspirations of women activists across the region.
THE OPPORTUNITYNWI is seeking a narrative journalist, writer, or other experienced storyteller to lead the development of this publication.

We are looking for someone with a strong creative vision and a demonstrated ability to transform interviews, research, and lived experiences into compelling storytelling. The successful candidate will be given significant creative autonomy to develop the publication's structure, voice, and editorial direction, with oversight from NWI and within agreed safeguarding and ethical storytelling principles.
NWI will facilitate introductions to women activists from our networks across Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras. The selected candidate is also encouraged to propose interviewees where they believe these would strengthen the narrative concept, subject to discussion with NWI and appropriate safeguarding considerations.
REQUIREMENTSApplicants should meet the following criteria:
- Demonstrated experience in narrative journalism, literary non-fiction, long-form storytelling, documentary storytelling, or a related field.
- Strong portfolio of published work.
- Experience conducting sensitive and trauma-informed interviews.
- Strong understanding of ethical storytelling practices and safeguarding considerations.
