Online Communication, Design, and Event Coordination Volunteer (16 Days of Activism)

UNDP operates in over 170 countries and territories, working to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. We support countries in developing strong policies, skills, partnerships, and institutions to help sustain their progress.

The UNDP Regional Bureau for Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (RBEC) operates through its Istanbul Regional Hub and works in close collaboration with 18 Country Offices across Europe and Central Asia.

The UNDP Gender and Crisis portfolio produces a variety of reports, knowledge products, presentations, and communication materials to advance gender equality in crisis and recovery settings. In November and December 2025, key campaigns and deliverables will require strengthened design and communication support, as well as coordination of events.
