This OV assignment is part of the UNV Pakistan’s efforts to enhance its volunteerism promotion and mobilization efforts. It aims to do this by having a ready pool of visual content pertaining to the UNV offer. Thus, enabling rapid sharing of said content with other UN agencies and potential volunteer partners to apprise them of UN volunteer modalities and associated guidelines / frameworks.

This assignment allows OVs to directly contribute to SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) since their developed content will be utilized to facilitate partnership meetings and initiatives with other UN agencies and key stakeholders.

Under the day-to-day direct supervision of the Coordination Support Assistant at UNV Pakistan, the Online Volunteer (OV) will support the development of flowcharts and infographics (as applicable) utilizing shared English content (approx. 1500 to 2500 words).

OVs must ensure that the relevant designs: • Align with UNV branding guidelines • Effectively capture the essence and messaging of shared content • Offer relevant information in a concise and easy to reference manner
