Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The online volunteer will support UNICEF Oman’s Youth Advocate Programme — a four-month youth engagement initiative (July–October 2026) in which young people lead advocacy initiatives on child rights and issues affecting children and young people in Oman. Additional remote coordination is needed to ensure quality implementation, consistent follow-up, and alignment with UNICEF’s mandate and communication standards. This is a fully remote (online) UN Volunteer assignment, carried out entirely through online tools under the remote guidance of the UNICEF Oman Communications team (Brand & Fundraising Readiness Specialist / designated supervisor). The volunteer will receive a certificate of appreciation from UNV.

Working remotely throughout the 12-week assignment, the volunteer will:

Maintain one online tracker of all advocates’ work plans, milestones, and deliverables, updated weekly, and hold bi-weekly remote check-ins, flagging delays. Support remote scheduling of sessions and workshops (agendas, attendance, follow-up actions) and coordinate communication between UNICEF and advocates.

Support youth participation in UNICEF online campaigns, providing written guidance on advocacy approaches and messaging aligned with UNICEF Oman priorities.

Produce written content in support of the programme and UNICEF Oman communications — including blog and feature pieces, a press release, and social media captions (bilingual Arabic/English) — aligned with UNICEF messaging and brand guidelines.

Review advocate content remotely within 2 working days against UNICEF communication standards and child-rights-based language, logging feedback and flagging off-brand content before publication.

Provide remote coordination support for youth participation in programme events (scheduling, agendas, attendance) and follow up on deliverables within 3 working days after each event.

Monitor progress against deliverables, keep online records current, and prepare a written progress summary each month.

Final delivery

By the end of the assignment (July–October 2026), the volunteer will submit, all created and shared remotely:

1 content-review log (spreadsheet) of all content reviewed and feedback provided.

1 youth advocate press release (bilingual Arabic/English).

Caption-writing support for media and youth advocate posts (bilingual Arabic/English) across the assignment.

1 final programme summary report (PDF) covering implementation, outcomes, and recommendations.

All deliverables follow UNICEF’s brand and communication guidelines.
