Mission and objectives

En tant qu'agence chef de file des Nations unies pour le développement international, le PNUD travaille dans 170 pays et territoires pour éradiquer la pauvreté et réduire les inégalités. Nous aidons les pays à développer des politiques, des compétences de leadership, des capacités de partenariat, des capacités institutionnelles, et à renforcer la résilience pour atteindre les Objectifs de développement durable. Notre travail se concentre sur trois domaines d'intervention : le développement durable, la gouvernance démocratique et la consolidation de la paix, ainsi que la résilience au climat et aux catastrophes.

Context

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in approximately 170 countries and territories, contributing to poverty eradication, reducing inequalities and building resilience. In Côte d'Ivoire, UNDP is supporting the country in the implementation of its National Development Plan and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, in accordance with the fundamental principle of "leaving no one behind". UNDP Côte d'Ivoire is working in three priority areas: • Democratic governance, peacebuilding and the rule of law • Sustainable development, inclusive growth and innovation • Climate resilience, disaster prevention and ecological transition In an increasingly competitive international media landscape, UNDP Côte d'Ivoire needs to significantly strengthen its visibility with the international media and audiences. The country office's achievements in governance, sustainable development and climate resilience deserve a wider echo beyond national borders. This assignment aims to deploy a proactive strategy to mobilize the international media in order to: (i) amplify the narrative of UNDP Côte d'Ivoire's results on the global stage; (ii) build a sustainable international media network; (iii) position the country office as a key player in development debates in West Africa. The contribution of online volunteers through this assignment directly supports UNDP's efforts to achieve SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
