Details

One or two volunteers will translate one document from French to English. The document describes a child protection project implemented in Senegal and France. The document is 75 pages long in Microsoft Word format. Because the document is long, we are willing to accept two volunteers to split the work in half. The volunteer/s will be asked to start ASAP and finish the document by the end of March (this is flexible). The volunteer/s will be able to strengthen their knowledge of human resources and child protection during the process of translation. The work of the volunteer is highly valuable and will allow to make the project details available to English speaking audiences.

Translation and interpretation

Child Protection is an Area of Responsibility (AoR) within the Global Protection Cluster. The CP AoR aims at ensuring that the efforts of national and international humanitarian actors to protect children are well coordinated, achieving maximum quality and impact. The CP AoR is seeking the support of a volunteer to make the project details available to child protection actors in English-speaking humanitarian contexts. The volunteer's work will thus be highly valuable.
