Content Editing Support for Youth Climate Envoy Programme

Mission and objectives

For more than 25 years UNICEF has been working with the Government and people of Azerbaijan to provide every child with the best start to life. Our activities began during some of the country’s most difficult times, assisting refugees and internally displaced people from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and addressing the impact of economic hardships caused by the transition from Soviet power to independence in 1991. UNICEF now strives to build on the considerable progress Azerbaijan has made, economically and socially, over the last two decades. Poverty rates have dramatically decreased, child mortality rates have fallen, and primary school enrollment is almost universal. UNICEF focuses its attention on those children who have not fully benefited from such advances. We work alongside the Government, communities and families in Azerbaijan to reach out to those children who remain vulnerable or at risk, to initiate new approaches to child and youth development, and to strengthen the national capacities and systems that support children and families. We believe that to match the economic vision of the nation, an investment in the country’s youngest human capital – its children and young people – is one that will bring some of the greatest and longest-lasting dividends. As Azerbaijan’s presence on the global stage increased, so has its commitments to achieving the Sustainable Development Agenda. In doing so, it has also made commitments to ensuring that no citizen – especially its children – is left behind. UNICEF’s work in Azerbaijan reflects that commitment, as we help support the development of new policies, legislation, standards and models of children’s services. We bring our global knowledge and experience to enhance local capacity not only to institutions but to the communities and individuals who work directly with children, and we shape better decision-making and allocation of resources through collection and analysis of data on the situation of children.

Context

Selected volunteers will support the program by reviewing and editing any content developed as a part of the program. Brief information about the programme: The Youth Climate Envoy programme is a Joint Initiative led by UNICEF Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, and the Youth for SDGs project within the Ministry of Youth and Sport. This initiative aims to inspire and empower young people in Azerbaijan to address climate change and environmental protection through skills development, environmental advocacy activities, and community-based initiatives. As part of this initiative, UNICEF’s global toolkit for climate activists has been translated into Azerbaijani and requires editing. Additionally, new content will be developed for social media platforms and for the engagement of young people and adolescents, requiring editing support.
