Translate training courses for UNV

Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

Upon their selection UN Volunteers must complete a series of training courses before the start of their assignment, on topic such as workplace safety, prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse, among others. Since the courses are only available in a few UN official languages, the Online Volunteers support in translating the courses will allow UN Volunteers from Myanmar to take the courses in their native language to fully understand and benefit from the courses.

The Online Volunteers will translate training courses: (1) BSAFE, (2) Prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA), (3) Harassment (Prevention of Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Abuse of Authority)), of the English version of the Mandatory Training Package from English to Burmese.

We are looking for candidates with very good level of understanding English and native Burmese speakers who have experience with translation, proof-reading and editing in these two languages. Previous experience with a UN agency or the international development/humanitarian emergency setting is desirable.
