Social Media Support for Youth Dialogue on BHR and the Environment in West Java

UNDP believes that the people of Indonesia should have ownership over the programmes and projects we support. All UNDP programmes therefore actively promote the spirit of mutual respect, support and accountability and subscribe to the principle of national ownership as enshrined in the Jakarta Commitment – a declaration put forward by the government and its development partners in 2009 to strengthen aid effectiveness in Indonesia. In the true spirit of national ownership, all of UNDP’s assistance in Indonesia is implemented by national entities, including line ministries and the Ministry of National Planning and Development, and at the subnational level by line departments, provincial and district authorities as well as community groups. While each programme supported by UNDP has specific and varied objectives, capacity development is one aim that all UNDP programmes – in Indonesia and worldwide – have in common. This takes on many forms including institutional reform, leadership development, education, and training for members of the public such as journalists, and women’s communities. In line with this logic, UNDP advisers work side by side with Indonesian counterparts to strengthen capacities in technical matters, policy formulation and budget planning, amongst others.

UNDP Indonesia’s Business and Human Rights (BHR) Agents of Change project positions youth and media as agents of change to promote responsible business practices aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. As the next generation of leaders, workforce, and consumers, young people are central in influencing how businesses operate, how communities advocate for their rights, and how sustainability is embedded into future economic models. Their voices, creativity, and digital reach make them key actors in promoting a more rights-based and sustainable economy. This Online v\Volunteer assignment supports the outreach strategy for the Youth-centered Dialogue on Business and Human Rights in West Java, implemented under UNDP’s European Union-funded Agents of Change: Youth and Media for Responsible Business Practices initiative. Through coordinated digital amplification, volunteers will help expand awareness of the dialogue, encourage youth participation, and extend the visibility of its messages on environmental justice, responsible business conduct, and community well-being.

Before applying, please note that working knowledge of Indonesian is required for this assignment. Youth Candidates (age 18-32) living in or are from West Java are particularly encouraged to apply. For the upcoming Youth-centered Dialogue on Business and Human Rights (BHR) and the Environment in West Java in June 2026, we seek support of 100 Online Volunteers to support in a digital campaign.

UNDP's Indonesia Communications Team will track the official event hashtag. - All Online Volunteers will be expected to participate in a mandatory, short orientation session prior to campaign rollout in June 2026. - All activities will be conducted virtually.
