Building database of youth serving organizations/networks in Arab countries-UNDP

Details

Mission and objectives

The Regional Bureau for Arab States (RBAS) based in New York serves as the headquarters for UNDP regional programmes and country offices in 17 Arab countries, with the 18th located in the occupied Palestinian territory. The Bureau is headed by Abdallah EL Dardary, UNDP Assistant Administrator and Director of the UNDP Regional Bureau for Arab States.

Context

UNDP RBAS will launch by the end of January 2024 a youth platform. The NextGenYouth Platform is a one-stop-shop for the next generation of entrepreneurs, community builders, policy shapers and future-ready job seekers in the Arab region. The platform aims to serve as a meeting place, knowledge bank and a hub connecting a network of more than 30,000 youth and partners across the region. An initiative of the Youth Empowerment, Engagement and Knowledge Project, SHABABEEK, at UNDP Regional Bureau for Arab States, the platform aims to support young people to unleash their creativity for more sustainable development. The platform includes sections on its mission, vision and the regional initiatives UNDP SHABABEEK has put in place. To ensure the accessibility of these sections to a broader audience within the region, we are actively seeking the assistance of Online Volunteers who can assist in translating and proofreading certain documents from English to Arabic and French.

Task description

We are looking for 40 experienced Online Volunteers who will support the mapping of youth serving organizations (YSOs) and youth networks across Arab countries. More specifically, the Online Volunteer is asked to: - Identify the main youth serving organization and youth networks sources for the data mapping task - Develop or identify a methodology and tool for data analysis, data preparation and data mapping based on defined objective - Conduct data entry (name of YSO, email address, country, thematic area of work, etc.) The Online Volunteer/s will have the opportunity to build connections with the Youth regional team at UNDP-Regional Bureau for Arab States and learn about the ways in which the gathered data can support the project's work.
