Background
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 177 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. At UNDP, external and internal communication—nationally, regionally and globally—is critical to achieving both development results and business objectives. Skillful communication broadens the impacts of new policies, helps governance reforms take root, and attracts and fosters strong partnerships. The Regional Bureau for Africa, which leads UNDP’s work in across the Africa Region, is seeking a graduate student with an interest in global issues and communications to work at the forefront of development and communications with the Bureau. This post will allow the opportunity to assist the Regional Communications Specialist in developing communications campaigns, media strategies, social media projects, and many other creative endeavors, that raise awareness for and engage people in UNDP’s efforts in Africa to support progress towards sustainable human development. |
