Required Experience
A large volume of raw video footage, photographs and narrative change stories from completed and ongoing projects are available and require professional layout and editing into engaging, high-quality communication products. These visual and audiovisual materials will be used for digital platforms, advocacy campaigns, donor engagement, public information, and commemoration events. The outputs will emphasize key peacebuilding themes such as prevention approach, youth, peace and security (YPS), women peace and security (WPS), prevention of SGBV, social cohesion, livelihoods for peace, human rights, sports for peace, community-level peacebuilding efforts, and institutional strengthening, etc. The Online Volunteer’s contribution will transform raw content into structured, impactful narratives, improving accessibility and storytelling. This supports the SDGs, mainly SDG 16 by promoting awareness, inclusion, and transparency in peacebuilding processes.
