Contract

The Global Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR) is the first and only blended finance mechanism dedicated to the resilience of coral reef ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. Operating at the intersection of ocean conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable development, GFCR brings together public, philanthropic, and private capital to drive systemic solutions in some of the most climate-vulnerable regions in the world.

As GFCR expands its partnerships and engagement across regions and sectors, strategic mapping and analysis of key stakeholders, initiatives, and opportunities has become essential. This assignment will support the GFCR Secretariat in strengthening its strategic engagement efforts by identifying, organizing, and analyzing relevant actors—including governments, philanthropies, multilateral institutions, private sector entities, and technical partners—that align with the Fund’s mission and programming goals.

The Online Volunteers will contribute to a broader effort to enhance coordination, identify opportunities for collaboration, and build a more comprehensive and targeted engagement strategy ahead of major global milestones.

Conduct desk research and review public sources to identify stakeholders, events, and initiatives aligned with our focus areas

Populate and maintain a stakeholder engagement tracker, ensuring accuracy and relevance of entries

This assignment allows Online Volunteers to work closely with the UN GFCR Global Team, helping to strengthen our strategic engagement efforts while gaining valuable experience in stakeholder mapping, multilateral coordination, and strategic communications.

Candidates should be well-versed with social media and other media platforms and applications. Professional experience in working with social media or media in general is highly preferred. A degree in a communication-related field is considered an asset.
