Mission and objectives Since 3rd November, 2011, ASCOA has been dedicated to improving the awareness of the local community on HIV/AIDS and its related stigma, promoting peace building in the society, fostering environmental protection and the fight against climate change, supporting children, and empowering women and girls in order to improve their socio-economic participation and boost their wellbeing. We envision a world free of HIV/AIDS, where people are neither stigmatized nor discriminated upon due to their HIV status; a world where women are empowered and children are protected; a world where peace reigns and people live in an environment free of pollution and global warming.
ContextASCOA is a non-profit organization leading marine debris and plastic pollution initiatives in Cameroonโs coastal communities. As part of its five-year strategic plan, ASCOA is launching the ASCOA Trash Monitor Appโa digital platform to support data collection, mapping, and reporting of marine debris along the LimbeโIdenau coastline and beyond. The app will empower volunteers, researchers, and the public to track, report, and analyze waste patterns, informing clean-up strategies and policy advocacy. To develop this innovative tool, ASCOA seeks five committed UN Volunteers with relevant technical and thematic expertise.
Task Description We are looking for online volunteers to support design, develop, and test the mobile version of the ASCOA Trash Monitor App. Ensure user-friendly UI/UX, location tagging, and integration with a backend database for real-time waste data collection and upload.
