Task description

We are looking for one online volunteer with previous experience in drafting and designing conceptual and program documents in English (approx 50 pages). The task would be to compose the Guiding document of the Gender Equality Seal for Public Institutions Standard in English, drawing from the contents already available in the Seal program manual and Scoring matrix. We will set a work plan together, with a specific timeframe according to your availability and our needs. We will keep regular contact to ensure you can consult us on any question you might have. We need a volunteer that is committed and precise, has excellent English writing skills and if possible, has some previous knowledge on development, and gender equality, though it is not required. It would be great if the UNV has also graphic design skills, so it can design the document to be disseminated.
