Design of Communication Materials for the IOM Afghanistan Mission

Details

Mission and objectives

IOM’s mission in Afghanistan was established in 1992 and has maintained an uninterrupted presence in the country. IOM Afghanistan is one of the largest IOM missions worldwide, with over 740 personnel and offices covering every region of the country.
IOM currently implements a range of humanitarian assistance, community stabilization and migration management initiatives in Afghanistan, in cooperation with government and humanitarian partners as well as local communities.

Context

The United Nations Volunteers programme (UNV) has joined forces with the UN system in Afghanistan to address development challenges and demand for skilled human resources by mobilizing qualified expatriates under the “Expatriate Volunteers for Afghanistan” (EVA). Under the EVA initiative, Online Volunteers will be supporting UN programmes and projects in Afghanistan in top priority areas such as health and education as well as a variety of other areas, i.e. migration, engineering, computer science, economics, environmental protection, food processing, water resources development, youth empowerment, and community engagement, etc.
To that end, IOM in Afghanistan is seeking to collaborate with qualified Online Volunteers through this volunteering assignment. The volunteers’ contribution will play an important role in strengthening the IOM Afghanistan mission’s communication strategy, thereby supporting the IOM Afghanistan mission in achieving its goals and contributing to the broader SDGs.

Task description

We are looking for Online Volunteers who under the guidance of the IOM Communications Officer and in close collaboration with the communications team to support us by producing graphic designs for reports, info sheets, and posters. In particular, Online Volunteer is asked to:
– Design communication materials for the IOM Afghanistan mission following IOM’s communications and branding guidelines. Use innovative methods to boost visibility and impact;
– Assist the mission by enhancing the visibility of events and meetings. This includes improving the visuals of presentations, hand-outs, and information sheets, as well as designing materials like banners and roll-ups.
The design/layout should follow IOM’s design guidelines which will be shared with the Online Volunteers in advance.
