Support in Developing Social Media Content for Lebanon Nature Reserves

Details

Mission and objectives

UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 177 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners.

Context

The UNDP “STEPping up Nature Reserves Capacity – STEP4Nature” project aims at conserving Lebanon’s natural capital and strengthening the Ministry of Environment’s capacities to plan and sustainably manage protected areas and nature reserves. The project will specifically contribute to the enhancement and improvement of nature reserves in Lebanon from institutional, socio-economic and technical perspectives. The project is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Italian Republic through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in coordination with the Ministry of Environment of Lebanon. Lebanon's nature reserves often lack effective social media strategies, limiting awareness of their conservation efforts and ecotourism benefits. By implementing a targeted social media outreach plan, these reserves can boost their visibility, branding, and highlight their importance to local communities, enhancing engagement and appreciation of their ecosystem services.

Task description

We are looking for one (2) Online Volunteers who under the guidance of STEP4Nature Project Officer and in close collaboration with the nature reserves management teams support us by developing social media outreach content (for a total of 15 Posts per candidate) for two of Lebanon's Nature Reserves. In particular, the Online Volunteer is asked to: - Collect information on document/material background such as data, design style, branding guidelines etc.; - Create and maintain relevant and engaging content tailored to the nature reserve, utilizing a mix of text, images, videos, and other multimedia formats . The Online Volunteer/s will have the opportunity to build connections with both the STEP4Nature Project team at UNDP and the Nature Reserves management teams and learn about the ways in which graphic design can support conservation efforts in Lebanon.
