Mission and objectivesEgypt has been an observer state to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) since 1974 and became a full-fledged member in 1991 at which time IOM established its mission in Cairo with the purpose of assisting foreign nationals who had been forcefully displaced by the Gulf War to voluntarily repatriate or resettle in third countries. Since entering into Agreement with the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt (GoE) soon thereafter, IOM Egypt has since established productive working relations with migration-related ministries, as well as UN partners and civil society. Over the last 25 years, IOM has continuously enlarged its engagement in new fields of concern encompassing a wide range of activities in many programmatic areas such as: labour migration and human development; counter-trafficking; technical cooperation on migration management; migration health; emergency and post-crisis migration management; and resettlement.
ContextThe United Nations in Egypt is launching a dynamic, cross-agency advocacy campaign to promote shared development goals across the country. This campaign will feature human-interest storytelling, data-driven messaging, and wide public outreach through digital platforms. To support this effort, we are seeking three creative and motivated Online Volunteers to design branded visual materials that will give voice to the UN’s joint work in Egypt. This is an exciting opportunity for volunteers to apply their design skills in support of a real-world UN advocacy effort, gain visibility across multiple UN agencies, and contribute to impactful communications that reach broad audiences in Egypt and beyond.
Task DescriptionUnder the supervision of the UN Communications and Advocacy Officer in Egypt, the 3 Online Volunteers will collaborate (or divide tasks) to: Design a cohesive set of branded templates for social media graphics, infographics, carousel posts, and quote cards. Adapt visual materials to multiple digital formats (Instagram Stories, X/Twitter posts, website banners). Ensure that all visuals follow UN branding and identity guidelines. Upload final and editable files in an organized shared folder for cross-agency use. Deliverables: Together, the 3 Online Volunteers will deliver: 5 customizable templates for social media posts 5 infographic layouts 5 carousel post templates (5–7 slides each) 3 short looping animations (5–10 seconds) 2 quote or testimonial cards
