Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

MDF has implemented projects in the past where it has carried out field and literature survey on a project site located in Madang (specifically) Divine Word University in Papua New Guinea; and have submitted and produced a Water Supply Feasibility Study Report to help with its water supply ambition. To ensure that public, students and researchers are informed with the information from the report, MDF is looking to develop a Technical Paper with the feasibility study report as the basis. The objective of this Technical Paper is to serve as an example and reference to students and researchers who are carrying out water supply feasibility studies, thus it is important that this information is published and available for referencing. In that regard, MDF is seeking to collaborate with Online Volunteers to support its mission by performing necessary tasks in developing the said Technical Paper.

MDF is looking for two Online Volunteers with expertise, experience and qualification in Mechanical and Civil Engineering to: a) convert an existing Water Supply Feasibility Study Report into a Technical Report a (5 page) or a recommended format appropriate for publication where the information can be used by future engineers, students and researchers; and (b) where necessary the two Online Volunteers can seek further information online or through any platform to refine the technical report and submit it for publication.

The technical report should be 5 page only

The Online Volunteers will be included as authors depending on their contribution and will be awarded with a certificate after the end of the assignment.
