Contract

In December 2024 UNSMIL launched a new political process. As the Mission facilitates a Libya-led process to find a solution to the political impasse, there is an increased demand for communications resources and content explaining the mandate, the process and recommendations and working to prevent an increase in hate speech.
The Mission has developed a communications strategy focused on informing, educating and moblising the Libyan public around the key issues. Our aim is to inform the public around the key issues and explain the recommendations being presented by Libyan stakeholders. We want to engage Libyan youth, women, civil society, security and political actors to ensure that they can share their views and ideas, and to mobilise them on a collective path for change.
The political and media landscape has a large amount of misinformation and disinformation. UNSMIL needs to stay in control of the narrative and ensure all target audiences are informed as much as possible about the process and the ways to be involved.

The Online Volunteer will be provided with some material and other sources to develop the videos content as required and available. For close coordination and discussion, the Online Volunteer is expected to be available for calls via Zoom/Microsoft Teams.
This assignment provides Online Volunteers with an opportunity to develop and strengthen their skills in communication, networking within the communications team and other learning experiences.
