Mission and Objectives

L’UNCDF est présent au Sénégal depuis 1981, promouvant la décentralisation et l’élargissement de l’accès aux services financiers pour les populations rurales à faible revenu, à travers deux domaines d’intervention : l’inclusion financière et le financement du développement local. Aujourd’hui, Les Pays les Moins Avancés ont des mécanismes de financement peu adaptés à leurs besoins. Afin qu’ils puissent réellement accomplir une transformation structurelle, les financements de long terme, de prise de participation à risque, de financements adaptés aux besoins des PME et des PPPs de taille intermédiaire sont indispensables. Qu’il s’agisse d’accompagner des collectivités locales à fournir des services de base, des populations et des PMEs à financer leurs projets économiques, de fournir des mécanismes de prêts, de garantie ou de créer des fonds répondant aux besoins des économies en transformation, UNCDF propose son expertise et ses outils aux gouvernements, aux institutions financières et à leurs partenaires. Son mandat unique dans le système des Nations Unies lui permet de mettre à la disposition de ses partenaires des systèmes de subvention (simples, basées sur la performance et subventions remboursables), des prêts et des garanties en prenant des risques que des partenaires plus traditionnels ne peuvent pas prendre.

Context

UNCDF is strengthening its communication and visibility across priority programmes in West and Central Africa and beyond. High-quality visual content is critical to engage donors, partners, and stakeholders. This assignment contributes to improving how UNCDF communicates impact, mobilizes partnerships, and showcases results through clear, consistent and professional visual materials. The volunteer will work closely with the communications team and contribute to ongoing campaigns, publications, and events.

Task Description

We are looking for 2 Online Volunteers who under the guidance of the Regional Communications Specialist and in close collaboration with the communications team will support us by producing a series of graphic designs for the West and Central African Regional Portfolio. In particular, the Online Volunteers are asked to: Design social media and branded assets, including infographics, knowledge products, brochures, and presentations (approximately 20 pieces; 1–4 pages for materials and up to 20 slides for presentations) The design/layout should follow our UNCDF corporate design guidelines which will be shared with the Online Volunteers in advance. The Online Volunteers will have the opportunity to build connections with the Strategic Communications team at United Nations Capital Development Fund (HQ and regional team) and learn how graphic design supports strategic communication, donor engagement, and the translation of development finance concepts into clear and impactful visual content.
