The United Nations Volunteers is looking for a volunteer to help in the compilation of information related to the UN system in the GCC countries (Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait). The volunteer will have to research which UN agencies operate in each GCC country, how many there are, where their office is (in the country itself or outside), and what type of programs they are working on. This will help us achieve a better understanding of the UN system in the GCC countries. The UNV are particularly interested in finding relevant programs to the organization, such as ones involved in youth empowerment or supporting NGOs in their mobilization of volunteers.
