Danielle Parchment: Jamaican Animation ‘Ambassador’ in South Korea

Twenty-three-year-old self-taught artist Danielle Parchment, from Kingston, has dreamt of working in animation since she was a teenager. But her progress was initially hampered by learning disabilities and a lack of opportunities in her native Jamaica. So when she happened upon KingstOOn on Facebook, she knew she had struck gold. Kingstoon, along with DigitalJam, is a World Bank initiative to celebrate the breadth of artistic and digital talent within the Caribbean, and promote its development to boost growth and create quality job opportunities. As she carefully studied the banner promoting animation internships, she exhaled. Realizing that she would be able to work with the best in the industry in South Korea, coupled with encouragement from her inner circle, she applied. Now happily settled into her internship at Funny Flux Studios, in Seoul, South Korea, Danielle marvels at the effort required to hone her skills and ignite her passion for animation. Her primary level education was hampered by learning disabilities sparked by seizures, also undermining her social skills “I was always being left out, so I expressed myself through drawings. Words couldn’t adequately convey my struggles as a social misfit,” she reflects. At Holy Childhood Academy she finally hit her stride when she met peers with learning disabilities and empathetic teachers. She aced high school en route to Edna Manley College for the Visual & Performing Arts. Although they had no major in animation, Danielle fueled by her passion, found a work-around. “YouTube, books, free tutorials online. My family invested in art supplies, allowing me to flourish as a self-taught artist,” she says. At the ‘ripe old age’ of 21 in November 2015 Danielle coined the label Nille Studio as a chapeau under which to showcase her work, and carve her own little niche in the market. This earned her the respect of peers and role models alike.  In the pipeline is an online outlet for her animation skills. Danielle regards the skills acquired during her current internship, financed by the Korea Trust Fund and managed by the World Bank, as providing the chance for her to contribute to Jamaica’s nascent animation industry.

    Panama: Inmunization Consultant

    Organization: UN Children’s Fund
    Country: Panama
    Closing date: 20 Feb 2017

    If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading children’s rights organization would like to hear from you.

    Backgroud

    For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children’s survival, protection and development. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

    The Latin America and Caribbean region, a largely middle income country environment, is enjoying stable economic growth and has made important progress on key measures, including the reduction of monetary and child poverty in recent years. However, large disparities exist based on a combination of factors, such as gender, ethnicity, geography, socio-economic status remain. In addition, the Region is vulnerable to the effects of organized crime as well as the risk of natural disasters, exacerbated by climate change.

    UNICEF operates in the 35 countries and territories in the region via 24 country programmes.

    The work of UNICEF in the Region is guided by the Millennium Development Goals and the UNICEF Strategic Plan 2014-2017, which has seven components – 1) Health, 2) HIV/AIDS, 3) WASH, 4) Nutrition, 5) Education, 6) Exploitation and violence, and 7) Social inclusion – along with the commitment to prioritize results for the most excluded and disadvantaged children and adolescents to achieve results with equity. In light of these inter-related commitments, efforts will be made to monitor the maintenance of progress achieved in child rights at the national level but also to ensure progress is carried through to reduce disparities at the sub-regional level where the most substantial inequities persist.

    With respect to health, the focus of work in Latin America and the Caribbean has been the reduction of maternal, neonatal and infant mortality in priority countries with elevated mortality rates, including Bolivia and Haiti. High immunization coverage of children and women is critical to that end. A Promise Renewed (APR) guides progress, including in relation to monitoring through the APR scorecards. Furthermore, the Region is also moving towards a broader look at the health situation of children and adolescents, including the impact and implications of Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in morbidity, mortality and burden of disease of children and adolescents in the Region.

    Given funding limitations, the LAC Regional Office doesn’t have a dedicated EPI officer. However, it is a priority to ensure that the key strategic priorities in this area are identified, most recently in relation to the introduction of new antigens and new vaccination schemes such as IPV. To that end, thanks to funding made available by HQ, LACRO contracted a consultant from 2014 – 2016 to support EPI needs related to IPV introduction and the tOPV-bOPV switch. In addition to this polio-related work, the consultant was able to extend UNICEF support to other EPI activities including assistance in developing national EPI strategic and annual work plans, implementation of effective vaccine management assessment evaluation action points, training and monitoring health staff, conducting a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) supplementary immunization activities, vaccine forecasting, contributing to in-country Gavi Joint Appraisals, resource mobilization (through the Gavi PEF and other mechanisms) and serving as a technical resource on EPI for all UNICEF country offices. At the end of 2016, a number of opportunities have been identified for UNICEF to continue supporting EPI-related priorities in selected countries.

    Purpose of the Assignment

    With the main purpose of improving immunization program targets, the EPI Consultant will provide technical assistance to countries with underperforming immunization programs. Such technical assistance will include strengthening core EPI components including supply chain management, information, education and communication, coverage and equity, data use, maintaining elimination of polio, measles and rubella and eliminating maternal and neonatal tetanus. In addition, the EPI Consultant will manage resource mobilization efforts and partner relations in regard to EPI, support country applications and UNICEF CO requests for financial assistance from partners such as Gavi and US CDC. Providing such assistance will ensure that UNICEF maintains its role as a key partner for EPI in the Region.
