Mission and objectives

The UNDP Sustainable Energy Hub is a network of partners that work alongside countries to transform energy systems though an integrated agenda focused on the policy, technology and financial shifts that shape sustainable economic development. We help countries build net-zero, people-centered societies driven by a just, sustainable energy transition. Our core principle is to promote an integrated agenda that supports energy for development, including by mobilizing partners to enable 500 million additional people to have access to sustainable, reliable, affordable energy by 2025, leaving no-one behind. The global transformation of energy systems has already started, but is being altered by the current geopolitical context. However, this transformation must be accelerated, and it must be done in a way that advances the Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Energy Hub is UNDP’s answer to these challenges. To drive the systems-level change needed, the Sustainable Energy Hub aims to bring about a completely new way of thinking, doing business, connecting people and knowledge. UNDP’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan has put sustainable energy at the heart of a joint corporate mission, and UN-Energy has pledged to reaching key energy milestones by 2025. UNDP will focus efforts on mobilizing partners and catalzing action to provide access to sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy – both electricity and clean cooking – to 500 million people by 2025, focusing on the world’s poorest communities. UNDP will not do this alone – our role here is to mobilize strong, meaningful, impactful partnerships to deliver action on the ground. We aim to bring about a new way of thinking about energy and advocate for an integrated, inclusive approach, where all stakeholders participate meaningfully in its design.

Context

The Sustainable Energy Hub (SEH) is a network of partners that work alongside countries to transform energy systems through an integrated agenda focused on the policy, technology, and financial shifts that shape sustainable economic development. We help countries build net-zero, people-centered societies driven by a just, sustainable energy transition. Our core principle is to promote an integrated agenda that supports energy for development, including mobilizing partners to enable 500 million additional people to have access to sustainable, reliable, affordable energy by 2025, leaving no one behind. One of the three pillars of the SEH offer is Thought Leadership, which includes the development of materials to guide the conversation and agenda on sustainable energy to contribute to global strategic objectives and policy. To this end, SEH is seeking 1 online volunteer to assist with cataloging, tagging, and organizing our extensive photo bank, ensuring high-quality visual assets align seamlessly with our communication strategy.

Task Description

The Sustainable Energy Hub (SEH) is seeking 1 dedicated online volunteers to assist in organizing and curating our extensive collection of visual assets. These assets include a mix of stock images, and materials from projects on the ground contributed by over 130 country offices. The goal is to establish a robust and organized photo bank categorized by thematic areas and regions. This includes developing an efficient tagging and cataloging system that can seamlessly integrate with a digital asset management (DAM) system, ensuring scalability and ease of use. Key Responsibilities: – Review and organize a list of unstructured photo and video assets. – Develop and implement a tagging and categorization system under the guidance of design and communications analysts. – Curate and select high-quality, relevant assets to align with SEH’s communication strategy. – Collaborate with team members to ensure consistency and accuracy in the organization of assets.
