Context

This assignment is carried out in the framework of the Course for Assessors and Evaluators of the Gender Equality Seal for Financial Institutions, led by UNDP in partnership with CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean. The course is designed to strengthen the technical capacities of professionals across the region, providing them with the tools to assess and evaluate financial institutions on their gender equality performance.

To ensure the course is engaging, accessible, and visually consistent, we require the support of Online Volunteers with graphic design skills who can adapt and edit the training presentations following our established visual identity. By contributing to this assignment, Online Volunteers will play a key role in enhancing the quality and professional delivery of a regional flagship initiative on gender equality and inclusive finance.

– Incorporate feedback from the Gender Team and communications colleagues in a timely and efficient way;

– Prepare final versions of the PowerPoint presentations ready for delivery and use in the course.

The Online Volunteer/s will have the opportunity to build connections with the Gender Team at the Regional Centre and learn about the ways in which graphic design can support Gender Equality mainstreaming.
