  • Assist the communications team with event management and/or communication coverage such as photography, taking notes, drafting live tweets for the regional events, workshops and major launches.
  • Produce materials for social media channels, especially Instagram and twitter.
  • Monitor the latest social media trends for improving outreach and appropriately apply that knowledge to Eurasia channels.
  • Compile analytics and reporting on Eurasia social media channels on monthly basis.
  • Prepare weekly roundups and propose relevant contents for Eurasia channels.
  • Support uploading and publishing content on the UNDP Regional website.

    Interns are responsible to arrange for their own visa and residence documents, and need to plan for these well in advance;
