This assignment is directly supporting our activities for Social Vulnerability research and solutions development. Through the translation work, the volunteer will directly contribute to the successful completion of the project, which in turn will help to understand vulnerabilities in Mali. This assignment directly supports the SDGs 1,5,10. The Online Volunteers will have the opportunity to build connections with the team at UN ICPSD and learn about the ways in which the translated product contributes to digital transformation technologies in achieving SDGs.

SDG AI Lab is working on Social Vulnerability studies in mainly French speaking countries and needs assistance for a) live translations during meetings and b) translation of materials such as presentations from English to French and French to English. We expect to have 3 more meetings until early May, for which we need to translate 3 presentations to French. Also, we will conduct 2 training sessions in June or July which will last 2-4 hours each. During the first weeks of this assignment, the volunteer will only work 1-5 hours per week on the assignment and help to translate the materials (short presentations) and help facilitate the communication during the 3 meetings (1 hour each).
