Job Posting Organization:
UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, was established to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled. The organization focuses on achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health, realizing reproductive rights, and reducing maternal mortality. UNFPA aims to accelerate progress on the ICPD agenda, improving the lives of adolescents, youth, and women, while promoting human rights and gender equality.

The organization operates globally, with a focus on strengthening partnerships and leveraging technology to enhance its mission.
Job Overview:

This position offers volunteers the opportunity to gain practical experience working with a UN agency, enhance their digital communication portfolios, and contribute to awareness-raising efforts that support communities in the region.

Each volunteer will complete a defined set of deliverables within one of the following areas: Team 1 (Social Media Content Creation) will require volunteers to develop 5-10 social media posts, including captions and visual concepts, design 5 social media graphics using tools like Canva, and adapt existing UNFPA communication materials into digital-friendly formats. Team 2 (Short Video Content Creation) will involve producing 2-3 short videos (up to 60 seconds each) for social media, supporting video editing, adding subtitles, and ensuring effective visual storytelling. Team 3 (Digital Storytelling and Web Content) will have volunteers drafting 2-3 human-interest stories or articles in English and/or Arabic, as well as editing and formatting communication materials according to UNFPA guidelines.
