Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The relatively limited resources of the Pacific island countries make country-to-country trade links important, as an important channel for meeting supplies and promoting geographic development. As a PNG-based NGO, MDF is committed to promoting community development, however we also need to focus on geographic economic development.

MDF intends to gather information and data related to economic development in Pacific Island Countries which involves combining publicly available resources from academic and government websites, analyzing the lack of material resources and the abundance of resources in each country based on the industrial chain of PNG and other Pacific Island countries, and organizing them into a visual table for our reference.

To that end, we are seeking to collaborate with Online Volunteers through this online assignment. This assignment falls under the eighth of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which promotes local economic development and improvement of the lives of residents through research on the economies of Pacific Island Countries.

To that end, we are seeking the support of online volunteers, where each of the Online Volunteer will be assigned with one of the following tasks. 1. to collect resource information and data on Pacific Island Countries online. 2. to combine the information into a visualisation table. 3. to review and add relevant information and data.

1. Proficient in the use of Google Scholar and other literature databases for collection;
2. Skilled in the operation of Excel tables and have a certain understanding of data.
