Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

UNHCR works in some of the most challenging work environments and maintaining a strong ethical foundation is crucial for the successful delivery of our mandate. One of the activities supporting the creation of an ethical culture is the mandatory annual delivery of Code of Conduct Dialogues in all operations and teams in the organization.

Through this, Code of Conduct Dialogues play a pivotal role in achieving this by ensuring that all colleagues, regardless of contract type or category, understand and adhere to UNHCR's ethical standards and policies.

We are launching our 2025 Code of Conduct in February. We have 8 presentations and need the slides (not the notes) translated into Arabic.

We would like to have a single online volunteer to translate all 8 presentations to ensure uniformity in language and style. Content covers topics around team collaboration and ethical decision making. While we need the translator to capture the spirit of the text. This is not a technical translation.

We will expect the online volunteer to deliver the translated slides of the presentations as they complete them so the colleague delivering them can review them before they have to deliver in the week of 12th May.

  1. We require qualified and experienced translator for this assignment.
  2. Fluency in the language of translation. Can be Mother Tongue or through education.
  3. Knowledge of PowerPoint would be required. We need presentations which are well laid out and visually appealing. We will be providing materials using a specific PowerPoint template. Translation needs to work within that template, respecting formatting in terms of fonts, colors etc.
