Mission and objectives
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of development and it benefits both society at large and the individual volunteer. UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating for volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming, and mobilizing volunteers. In most cultures volunteerism is deeply embedded in long-established, ancient traditions of sharing and support within the communities. In this context, UN Volunteers take part in various forms of volunteerism and play a role in development and peace together with co-workers, host agencies and local communities. In all assignments, UN Volunteers promote volunteerism through their action and conduct. Engaging in volunteer activity can effectively and positively enrich their understanding of local and social realities, as well as create a bridge between themselves and the people in their host community. This will make the time they spend as UN Volunteers even more rewarding and productive.
Context
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) and Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) are jointly implementing a social media advocacy campaign to commemorate the International Year of Volunteers (IVY) in Malawi. The campaign, running from June to November 2026, aims to promote volunteerism's role in achieving national development goals in Malawi. It will highlight key themes such as volunteer wellbeing, legal frameworks, and inclusive volunteer management through a series of webinars and targeted social media initiatives. This initiative is aligned with the Global Index of Volunteer Engagement (GIVE) framework and the Global Volunteering Standard. We are seeking four creative and skilled Graphic Designers to develop a suite of standardized visual assets for this initiative.
