Custodians of Peace has been conceptualized by UNITAR upon request of the Commissioner for Peace and Security of the African Union. The creation and activation of FemWise-Africa in 2017 constitute an ambitious attempt on the part of the African Union to institutionalize African women’s good mediation and conflict prevention practices from the grassroots level upwards and to create entry points for female community leaders and peacemakers to more effectively access and take part in peace processes. Against this backdrop, the overall project will systematically develop the capacities of African women from a variety of backgrounds to effectively take part in mediation and conflict prevention efforts across the African continent.

We are looking for native North African and Middle East Arabic speakers who have experience in voice acting. The volunteers will be asked to produce voice recordings of very high quality to support our online Training of trainers course. UNITAR will send the volunteers a word document with the texts that need to be recorded, including the information on the context and tone we are going for. UNITAR will also advise on online free software that the volunteer could use and provide a technical How-To guide for the recording of the audios on the software. The volunteers would then record these texts and send the mp3 files to UNITAR.

The volunteers need to be a North African and Middle East native speakers and they should have prior experience in voice acting. Furthermore, the volunteers are required to possess or have access to a computer with a good internal microphone as well as good internet connectivity to ensure the recording of good quality audios.
