Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The document is a case study about strengthening access to GBV prevention and response services and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on the rights of women and girls to peace and security.

The Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility is seeking the support of two volunteers to translate and proofread 1 document (5 pages, 2175 words) from English to Somali. One volunteer will translate the document, and the other will proofread the document afterward. The volunteers will be asked to start as soon as possible and work on the document full-time in order to finish the translation and proofreading within 1 week. The volunteers will be able to strengthen their knowledge of GBV prevention and child protection during the process. The work of the volunteers is highly valuable and will allow making the document available to Somali-speaking audiences.

The volunteer should be fluent in English and Somali. A background in translation, child protection, humanitarian action, or human resources is an advantage. Previous translation experience of translating to Somali (especially documents related to human resources, child protection, or humanitarian action) is an asset. The volunteer needs to be able to work under tight deadlines.
