Position: Media and Communications Expert – Short-term Expert 

Location: Tunis and other locations, Tunisia

This is a short-term, up to six weeks, position to begin February or March 2021. 

The Expanding the Probation System in Tunisia project is assisting to increase the use of alternatives to incarceration in Tunisia.

The campaign may include activities such as short public television spots, radio programs, brochures, workshops, and other community-based public awareness activities.

• Prepare a detailed communications strategy for public awareness of ATI’s in Tunisia
