The Global F2F Strategy recommends to all markets that risk to acquisition volume should be mitigated by not relying on F2F agencies and that in-house teams should be the primary acquisition income. UNICEF Thailand Country Office (TCO) wants to urgently work towards these global recommendations as acquisition volume in Thailand has historically come from agencies. Currently, one agency recruits at a higher level than in-house, but they still need time to develop industry benchmark retention. The second agency has remained stagnant in the last two years and provided less than 20% of its targets agreed for each calendar year. The Thai market also has no other options to add another agency to improve the agency portfolio. Therefore, the agency portfolio is weak, so the performance of in-house teams is critical to the F2F channel. Overall, this situation is a high risk for TCO and needs to be addressed. TCO needs a F2F (Face-to-face) Donor Acquisition consultant to provide expertise TCO has not been able to find in the Thailand market since in-house started in 2018. The consultant is needed to work with the F2F team to strengthen all their systems and processes and develop their employees. The consultant's long-term goal is to scale the in-house F2F operation to ensure in-house income is significantly greater than agency income, which will minimize acquisition volume risk for Thailand for F2F and the individual giving program overall. The RSC is supportive and aligned with this strategy. The recruiting an in-house consultant is a priority project defined within the 2022 PSP. It is a critical step in planning for 2023, and the recruitment must take place in Q3 and Q4 2022 to facilitate 2023 in-house targets.

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential. 

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone. 

And we never give up.

  • survival – to basic healthcare, peace and security;
  • development – to a good education, a loving home and adequate nutrition;
  • protection – from abuse, neglect, trafficking, child labour and other forms of exploitation; and
