This assignment forms part of the broader efforts of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bolivia, which generates a diverse array of knowledge products aligned with its strategic areas of intervention. Translating these materials into English facilitates the dissemination of best practices, results, and lessons learned to international audiences, thereby promoting global cooperation and the exchange of knowledge. The contribution of the volunteer will play a key role in enhancing the visibility of UNDP Bolivia’s work within regional and international forums for dialogue and advocacy.
