MDF has been supported by Online Volunteers, engaged through the UNV's Unified Volunteer Platform (UVP), for a long time to undertake various research supports related to the environment - forest cover loss, land use land cover change, the influence of various parameters on surface waters, and coastal shoreline turtle habitat loss.
With the expanded scope of community development projects that MDF takes, the number of Online Volunteer support that MDF needs has also been increasing. Thus, we are seeking to collaborate with online volunteers to help MDF operate efficiently and effectively in managing the host entity account in the UNV Unified Volunteer Platform (UVP) and to continue its collaboration with Online Volunteers through UVP. The assignment is necessary to support MDF in achieving its objectives which is to collaborate with expert online volunteers from around the world to build its capacity and support MDF's project in developing the rural communities in Papua New Guinea and contribute to the SDGs.
MDF requires the support of online volunteers who can manage the platform, create and submit new opportunities, and provide feedback to other online volunteers who have completed their respective tasks, at the end of the assignment for proper closure and certificate issuance through the platform.
The Online Volunteers, particularly engaged under this assignment and the supervision of MDF, will be required to carry out these administrative tasks in accordance with the UNV Online Volunteering guidelines. The online volunteers engaged in this assignment will receive a certificate through the UVP after the completion of this task and will be issued a reference from the Foundation accordingly.
