MDF for the past ten years have contributed to the development of many rural communities in PNG to achieve MSF's main objective and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. One of the project is in Kamiali Wildlife Management Area, a project supported by BCF through UNDP that will benefit the community in the village through fishing, growing cocoa and tourism.

To continue supporting and to sustain the outcome of this project, MDF have developed a business plan which will serve as a guide in managing projects in Kamiali Wildlife Management Area, and we are seeking the support of online volunteers through this assignment to review and refine the current business plan, particularly from the finance point of view. This business plan will serve as a guide to ensure that the project concretely contribute to the community.

We are seeking the support of three 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 tasks will be split among the selected online volunteers.

The task involves research and collaboration and effective communication with other Online Volunteers while also collaborating with the contact person from MDF.

The Online Volunteers will be issued a reference by MDF and will receive certificate through the UNV platform.
