Mission and objectives

Who we are UNDP is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help empower people and build resilient nations. UNDP has been working in Liberia since 1977 in peace and in crisis times. UNDP is committed to helping Liberia achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) as well as the country’s national development priorities as set out in its newest Pro-Poor Development Agenda. UNDP provides technical assistance within the framework of the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) which is fully aligned with Liberia’s National development Agenda. What we do UNDP supports Liberia's national development agenda and works closely with national institutions and local communities to promote, advocate and contribute to good governance, peace and security. Our work focuses on engendering national initiatives and strategies that help facilitate long-term development transformation in the lives of the people of Liberia. We offer global perspectives, complementary support and ideas on strategic development projects and capacity building in continued efforts to promote and protect human rights and improve environmental management. The end result of this transformation would be a country that is characterized by peaceful and inclusive politics and diversified economy, stable institutions, enforces the laws fairly, land tenure problems have been resolved, natural resources are efficiently managed and health and education standards have reached those of other middle income countries.

Context

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a global campaign observed annually from 25 November to 10 December to raise awareness and mobilize action to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls. To support the 2026 campaign, UNDP Liberia, in partnership with UNV, is engaging Online Volunteers to strengthen digital awareness and advocacy on the links between harmful social influences, substance use, violence, and gender-based violence. The initiative seeks to promote positive social norms, healthy lifestyles, youth leadership, social cohesion, and non-violent communities, while increasing awareness of survivor rights, available support services, and access to justice. Under the guidance of the UNDP team, Online Volunteers will support the development of engaging digital content, including posters, infographics, social media cards for dissemination through Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other online platforms. Their contributions will help amplify campaign messages, expand public engagement, and support youth-led efforts to prevent violence and promote safer, more resilient communities.
