The RGJP aims at supporting women, in particular poor women, to realize and voice their rights, enjoy a life free from violence with mechanisms for social and legal protection, and become equal contributors in the development of their respective communities, hence breaking the cycle of violence and exclusion. In its work, the RGJP links direct assistance to poor women with national, regional and global advocacy and campaigning work. Advocacy work at the RGJP is informed by research. The RGJP has 39 partners in the region – this partnership-based approach acknowledges the added value contributed by national partners, and promotes trust and mutual support. The RGJP pillars include: Women’s Political Participation Violence against Women and Girls Women’s Access to Justice The RJGP works in the MENA region with various partners including local NGOs, CSOs and WROs and networks (around 37 partnering organizations, regional and based in Lebanon, Iraq, Morocco, Occupied Palestinian Territories, Jordan, Tunisia, Yemen and Egypt) in addition to academic institutions like the American University of Beirut. These partners have a variety of levels in terms of their access to media, capabilities to advocate and influencing in their communities and regions and social media presence online. The role of mutual capacity building between Oxfam and our partners is vital in this sense.   2.      Purpose of the job:   The Regional Gender Justice Programme is looking for a graphic designer to create a logo and a slogan (both in English & Arabic) that reflects the programme’s identity.   3.      Tasks   Under the direct supervision of RGJP media and communication officer, the designer will be required to produce; a)    3 options for a logo b)    6 options for a slogan (3 Arabic & 3 English) c)    Branding guidelines: explaining how to use the logo, color palette,..etc     4.      Outputs a)      Final logo for the RGJP b)      Final slogans for the RGJP (Arabic & English) c)      Branding guidelines   5.      Copyrights   All the produced materials will be copyrighted to Oxfam and any violation of copyright law will be pursued appropriately.   6.      Required Experience  (firms/team members/individuals)   Experience -          Significant years of experience in designing logos and creating slogans. -          Extensive experience in producing development work-related design projects for international organizations with the aim of reaching both local and international audiences. -          Additional experience in communication for development will be an asset.   Language Requirements: -  Fluency in both Arabic and English.   7.       Reporting lines /coordination   The coordination will be directly with RGJP’s Media and Communications Officer.   8.        Time line  Deliverables Dates 3 options for : a logo  for Oxfam to choose   15  March 2016 3 options for : a slogan for Oxfam to choose (Arabic & English)   15  March 2016 First draft of the branding guidelines   15  March 2016 Final draft of the logo for Oxfam’s approval   22 March 2016 Final draft of the slogans for Oxfam’s approval (Arabic & English)   22 March 2016 Final draft of the branding guidelines for Oxfam’s approval   22 March 2016 Approved logo, slogans (Arabic & English) and branding guidelines   25 March 2016
