Mission and objectives

Context of Assignment: UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS, is a leading advocate for global action on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. UNAIDS is committed to using digital tools to strengthen organizational effectiveness and better support the global HIV response. As part of its ongoing digital transformation efforts, UNAIDS relies heavily on Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams as its core productivity and collaboration platforms. Microsoft continually introduces new and enhanced features across these platforms that can significantly improve how staff collaborate, manage information, and work more efficiently in a hybrid and global environment. The Digital & Technology Solutions (DTS) team is seeking an Online UN Volunteer to support short term engagement, promotion, and awareness activities focused on new and lesser known Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams features. This assignment is fully remote and designed as a focused, time bound engagement to help staff discover and adopt practical features that enhance day to day productivity.
