Support recovery in Syria by amplifying “No More Mines” campaign

Organizational Context

The UN Resident Coordinator (RC) system in Syria coordinates UN agencies to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness. In a country heavily contaminated by landmines and explosive ordnance after a decade of conflict, the RC system, alongside the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), leads efforts to address critical needs. Mine action is recognized as a prerequisite for recovery, dignity, and stability, making this campaign vital for protecting lives and enabling safe community rebuilding.

Job Purpose

This assignment aims to support the "No More Mines" campaign in Syria, a joint initiative by the UN, Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, and NGOs. The campaign seeks to protect lives, enable recovery, and prevent further casualties from landmines and explosive ordnance. Volunteers will contribute to raising awareness on life-saving behaviors, ensuring communities receive critical information, strengthening support for recovery efforts, and amplifying a unified UN voice. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to a high-impact national campaign, directly support safe recovery and community protection, and enhance experience in communication, media, and advocacy.

Responsibilities

Volunteers will join one of five teams to support the "No More Mines" campaign. The Campaign Dissemination Team will share verified materials and adapt captions for diverse audiences across platforms. The Content Creation Team will develop social media posts, reels, and captions, tailoring messages for donors, government, communities, and media. The Video & Storytelling Support Team will assist with scripting, storytelling, and editing short videos. The Campaign Strategy & Reach Tracking Team will suggest posting schedules, monitor engagement, and provide insights for dissemination. The Translation & Localization Team will proofread materials and ensure cultural relevance in Arabic and English.

Work Experience

The primary requirement is being an Arabic speaker who deeply cares about Syria and believes in protecting lives and rebuilding a safer Syria. Specific professional experience is not detailed, aligning with the nature of an online volunteer role.

Skills

Key skills include fluency in Arabic (desirable) and English (required). Volunteers should possess a strong commitment to the cause of protecting lives and rebuilding Syria. Implicitly, skills in communication, social media engagement, content adaptation, and potentially video editing or translation are valuable depending on the chosen team.
