Identify a key challenge from the video above; how would you manage this within the context of your own campaigns? by UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh Press the pink + to add a post. en-us 2021-10-21 15:15:49 UTC 2026-03-17 16:18:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Gaia, Cox's Bazar Bangladesh https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1853328283 a key challenge from the UNICEF-EU Tik Tok #TheRealChallenge campaign was the child protection aspect of it, how videos and content would work in a new operating environment, such as the newly Tik Tok, and how children's would be protected in terms of data privacy. 

A way to manage it is to discuss the elements of ethics in terms of child protection, content sharing and usage of content - for this reliable, strong and trustworthy partnerships can be established, if agreements and specific legal elements are present. ]]> 2021-10-29 06:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1853328283 Abi-Gail Averlon Toussaint, ILO Port of Spain https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1854379789 One of the key challenges mentioned was Tiktok analytics. By tracking the right metrics, you should be able to obtain user insights and differentiate between hype and reality. The most important detail is ensuring that you have a pro account to measure audience and performance insights. You will find this information under the View Analytics tab. You can drill down deeper using the Followers tab to obtain gender and location demographics as well as follower activity. The most extensive insights are for videos where you get to see total likes, comments, shares, play time, traffic source, etc. I think it’s also important to be able to obtain your own reports and not rely on someone else to provide them.

I would shorten the video to less than half with the most important information and change the background of the interview and the titles at the beginning, use subtitles.

A way to manage this is through our child protection section who have the mandate to guide other sections, partners and the rest of the office on child protection issues.
That said, we may have engagement at the local level and ensure the required standards are adhered to. However, digital assess are consumed globally and it is important that we partner with platforms that we can work with on a global level so that we are able to monitor what is going on and also have access to feedback in various locations.]]> 2021-10-29 19:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1854683705 Marcelle Rodriguez, WFP Dominican Republic https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1855859411 Ethics, child protection in the web and social media and content restriction.]]> 2021-10-30 19:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1855859411 Cynthia Meru, UNESCO/Nairobi https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1856285277 The "unknowns" UNICEF and EU colleagues picked TikTok before doing a background research on the platform modalities.

Now as well TikTok is really struggling with providing adequate privacy, as well as with moderation of comments, and there is a lot of hate speech and bullying on many posts. So, countering its fun nature there is a really complex problem of lack of moderation and adequate privacy. I believe this is really a big challenge, especially when dealing with a campaign which involves children. To overcome this, it would be crucial to curate the content in a way to leave little possibility to endager the protagonists or "stimulate" hate speech of any kind (even though this is really a challenge in itself when it comes to social media).]]> 2021-11-01 16:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1859288909 Natascha Paddison - New York https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1859327486 Tiktok was identified as the key social media channel for a new campaign. To mitigate risks around privacy especially regarding children, guidance from HQ on Safeguarding Children was provided, and deemed useful. There was very little research done to better understand how the platform worked, who the main audience was. Also, as this was a new partnership with a completely new platform, finding the entry point was not easy, as the corporate structure wasn’t well understood initially, and time was lost in finding the best way to set up a partnership. 

I agree with colleagues that the video itself is very difficult to follow; it is lacking in structure. Although there are different segments ‘challenges’; ‘successes’, the content is poorly structured, not presented in a clear way – only narrative, and quite technical. There could have been visual aids (slides with the numbers/ some key facts). The speaker is clearly reading from a script which is distracting, and the camera is not in a good position (half focused on a building, the other part we can see a child’s picture, presumably a unicef poster).

Without creating an account, it is possible to find allies on TT who can support your campaign. However, if only one part of your targeted audience is on the medium and being fully present on it comes with high risk, maybe the campaign should include this medium to reach young people but not be exclusively based on it.]]> 2021-11-02 14:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1861866293 Rochelle van Wyk, Namibia https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1862153430 UNICEF saw an opportunity to use TikTok as the platform to reach young people, even though they did not have a global presence on the platform which made operating and managing it a challenge including recording analytics. Also, they focused only on TikTok which some partners/counterparts were not using, making it a challenge for them to promote the content.

More research should have been done about TikTok platform functionalities. To reach a broader audience, including young people and partners who might not be on TikTok, they should have used a multi-platform approach and included Instagram and Twitter for example.]]> 2021-11-02 16:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1862153430 Helena Guiliche-RCO Mozambique One of the challenges I identified in this video is about working with a new platform dealing with underaged people and unknown by adults. Non-Global presence to Tik Tok of UNICEF and Counterparts. o How to deal with matters related to child protection o Negative reputation of the platform itself. o Unknow information about how this works: Difficult in Analytics and Monitoring I would manage the challenges by:1. Firstly, do research to get to know better the Platform, how this works, users data stratification: - Gender, age, region, countries, regions, key opinion, leaders, influencers, Tik Tok structure, etc.2. Get more information about child protection, Human Rights protection and risks aligned to the Tik Tok reputation3.

Although UNICEF was able to successfully use the platform for a campaign, this would be harder to do at UNHCR since we must protect the privacy of our displaced people. However, if we have certain rules and ask refugees to come up with creative videos that don't show their face or reveal their identities, we could possibly be able to host a similar campaign.]]> 2021-11-03 14:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1864783630 Fanja, UNICEF Gabon https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1865121439 One of the challenge might be tiktok coverage to cover the unheard stories of children. Tik tok is famous with young people having access to internet. It means, UNICEF would fail to reach those children living in remote areas with no electricity and no internet access and yet, they have so much to say about the violation of their rights. ]]> 2021-11-03 15:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1865121439 Victor Khodayar-Pardo, UNOPS Copenhagen https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1865901297 More research needed on social media platform outreach and visibility impact towards the different cohorts.

Perhaps a more research on Tiktok and their CSR policy, joint SOPs on data and privacy protection of children and access to social media analytics would have benefitted the campaign. Also issues of cross posting in other social media platforms should have been discussed.]]> 2021-11-04 06:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1866756467 Shobhan | Timor-leste https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1867150875 The key challenge, evidently, is monitoring and evaluation of the campaign.
I, honestly, do not have an idea how this could be worked around unless using data from other platforms, using the same campaign products and properties can be considered relative indicators. 
I think other colleagues have answered better than I could. ]]> 2021-11-04 11:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1867150875 Mario Naranjo, RCO Ecuador https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1868015811 Probably one aspect that can be identified as a challenge is the fact of image protection of which minors must be subject, a fact that is regulated even in many national legislations, and although the field of digital campaigns does not necessarily fall under the jurisdiction of such regulations, the principles of protection of children and adolescents are universal. ]]> 2021-11-04 17:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1868015811 Parvinder Singh | UNWFP India https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1868208632 One of biggest challenge for the campaign was getting a buy-in for using Tik Tok as a platform. A number of political and institutional stakeholders have concerns about the platform, ranging from it being used for surveillance and weak privacy/consent protocol.

As a platform that is unregulated and used by young people, the aspect of negative fall out from users giving the campaign a negative twist would also be bearing on the minds of partners.

In India Tik Tok is banned though before it was shut down it has a massive following and outreach.

In India, I would go for Instagram as the viral video content is what drove the engagement for the campaign and the video challenges.

I would also at collaboration and mentoring by influencers on Instagram.

I believe that TikTo or any other major social media platforms, if engaged at or through corporate level relationship, may be able to provide further details facilitating a more comprehensive evaluation. 

Also, I think that there are certain third-party developers who may be able to develop or provide tailored tools to measure the reach of the social media campaign. ]]> 2021-11-05 09:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1869521684 Mahmoud Hossam, UNIC Egypt https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1869753405 The choice to go to a new platform is one of the biggest challenges.

Usually as communicators we count likes, mentions and may be response etc, but there was here no mechanism to measure the impact and the desired change. Also the use of TikTok itself is challenging as decision-makers hardly use it.

Tik tok is very powerful but in other hands it can also convey the wrong messages and practices. The risk is even higher when this social media is used by young people. The content is often hijacked for both good and bad purposes. The challenge here is to pay attention to the conditions of use but also to the theme of the campaign itself to avoid bad media coverage and risks of hijacking. ]]> 2021-11-09 12:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1878047922 https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1885973369 Shireen Cuthbert, ILO Caribbean 

Lack of presence of UNICEF global and other partners on Tik Tok was identified as a risk / challenge in the video.  I would manage that risk by “planting” Tik Tok content with key partners and supporters at the start of the campaign in order to have a solid base and build momentum that can be shared to encourage to participate / share more widely.

There are several ways around it. First, while TikTok was the primary platform, it seems that it was not the only one. The campaign could have developed a smart digital mix around it so that they would not be so dependent on one company to provide them with the data. More data could be galvanized through other platforms, such as Google analytics. They could incorporate an online call to action through the UNICEF website and collect engagement data as well as gender and geographic disaggregation through that.]]> 2021-11-14 17:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1889491053 Ye Ji Lee, UN Women Jordan https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1889605870 In the video, Rebekka mentions several challenges and risks that were associated to the TikTok challenge.
 
One of the key challenges faced was that UNICEF did not have a global presence on TikTok when the campaign was first launched.
In regards to this, UNICEF can mobilize their Goodwill ambassadors, collaborate with TikTok influencers, or also promote the TikTok challenge on their IG account, as UNICEF would’ve had more presence on IG.
 
As for the lack of in-app analytics, UNICEF could have hired more than one company for the TikTok analytics, to ensure that they were collecting more data than what was available from one company.
 
Challenges mentioned in the video:
1) There was a lot of unknown. At the beginning, TikTok was not a first choice for partners, since the platform was very popular among young people, but very little known among adults. – concerns about child protection online.
2) UNICEF did not have a global presence on TikTok.
3) Lack of knowledge about TikTok’s operating environment, what contents work etc. – this left a lot of room for risks/trials.
4) Several of UNICEF’s counterparts did not have presence on TikTok, which limited the scope for promotion and outreach at a global level.
5) Analytics & monitoring – had to rely entirely on external company. There were limited in-app analytics. Could not measure data in terms of gender etc. Challenge to communicate this limited data to partners & counterparts who wished for more detailed/broader data & disaggregated analytics.

Indeed, for us, TikTok is by itself an unknown path, as most of our outputs are theoretical, rarely mean anything to young people, are hardly translatable into storytelling videos; although we are now producing much more videos than we used to, I would take it easy before going there, maybe because my main taget audience is the policymaker, and not youth by itself. But I would definitely vote for trying new paths and new ways to promote our work and our policy solutions, provided they are well sought and carefully studied before.]]> 2021-11-21 23:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1904877874 George Ofunja, UNON, Nairobi https://padlet.com/sustainable_development/59agtt75k3972xlh/wish/1914915125 One key challenge was that - several of their counterparts didn’t have a presence on tiktok and which limited the scope for promotion and outreach at local level.

One way of managing this challenge within the context of our own campaign would be to further research for another popular platform with target audience of young people like tiktok and where most of our counterparts will have presence and factor the platform in the campaign so that we are not limited in terms of scope for promotion and outreach at local level.

Which is same for UN Pakistan as we have presence only on twitter, youtube and Facebook. Tik Tok is itself a challenge, as most of the times, the government put ban on it but then the decision is reversed. So one of the risk was unknown. May be this could not be mitigated, however, when it comes to the presence of UN Pakistan on TikTok, we can use the platform of different goodwill ambassadors presence on TikTok.
