Mission and objectives
UNDP’s commitment to helping countries address major health challenges is based on the principles that health is both a driver and outcome of development and that actions across a wide range of development sectors have a significant impact on health outcomes. As a development agency, UNDP focuses on addressing the social, economic and environmental determinants of health, which are primarily responsible for health inequalities. UNDP’s work in health is undertaken by an integrated team operating at global, regional and country levels. The work falls within three inter-connected areas of action: -- Reducing inequalities and social exclusion that drive poor health; -- Promoting effective and inclusive governance for health; and -- Building resilient and sustainable systems for health.
Context
As a development agency, UNDP focuses on addressing social, structural, economic, commercial and environmental determinants of health, which are primarily responsible for health inequalities. In so doing, the organization leverages its extensive presence and networks at global, regional and country levels, its mandate to work broadly – to connect the dots – across development sectors, and its commitment to integrated and innovative solutions to the most pressing development challenges.
Task description
The Online Volunteers will translate key UNDP knowledge products such as policy briefs and advocacy materials from English into Arabic. The Online Volunteers will work on three investment case reports (about 30 pages per report) each, as well as three advocacy strategies (around 3 pages). UNDP Health and Development Unit will provide required information and guidance. Upon completion, the online volunteer will be given due credit and receive a Certificate of Appreciation for their contribution. No financial compensation is provided for this online volunteering opportunity.
