This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

MDF for the past ten years have contributed to the development of many rural communities in PNG to achieve the SDGs main objective and contribute to UN Development Goal.

One of the project is in Kamiali Wildlife Management Area, a project supported by BCF that will benefit the community by developing a business plan which will help guide the community to register their SMES and run small business through fishing, growing and selling cocoa and other small SME ideas that will benefit them and help them improve their livelihood.

With the existing business plan that MDF have, the contribution from the online volunteers will further develop the plan and include key essential areas and elements such as cash flows and profit target to name a few. The inclusion of these elements in the business plan will support MDF in guiding the community SMEs that will extensively contribute to the community economic development in the area.

We are seeking the support of four online volunteers who are able to refine the current business plan MDF have in place, and to include cash flow plans, marketing plans, revenue targets, financial targets and other critical financial aspects needed in the business plan. The Online Volunteer will collaborate with the contact person from MDF.

The task will involve research and drafting on the abovementioned key, and collaboration and effective communication with other volunteers as well. The volunteers will be issued a reference by MDF and will receive certificate through the UNV platform.

We need 4 online volunteers to do the online work: 1 volunteer to collect literature online and do literature review; 1 volunteer web to collect relevant and necessary data; 1 volunteer to do data analysis; 1 volunteer to write the overall programme text.
