About the project

ESC: ICT Specialist

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This volunteer role involves facilitating knowledge building and sharing among UPA staff by conducting trainings on digital skills, communication, and marketing strategies for social media platforms. Additionally, responsibilities include assisting in managing and upgrading UPA’s digital platforms to enhance online engagement. The position also focuses on building capacity through ICT training for UPA staff and local partner organizations, such as schools and community-based organizations. These efforts aim to strengthen digital communication and marketing strategies, empowering teams to effectively utilize technology for their work and outreach.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay at Villa Mamu, Mengo, Kampala, a spacious residence with WiFi, a warm shower, a kitchen, and pets. For a deeper cultural experience, some days will be spent with a host family near Kikooba School. Other accommodation options in Kampala can be arranged based on safety and convenience. Local transport mainly consists of boda-bodas (motorcycle taxis). Traveling to Kampala city takes about two hours by public transport at approximately 10,000 UGX one way. This setup offers a comfortable and exciting experience, blending urban amenities with meaningful community engagement.

🎒 Leisure activities

As part of the BRIDGE Project (Building Resilience, Innovation, Development, and Gender Equality), volunteers will work toward empowering vulnerable communities, especially women. Training includes skills development workshops, digital literacy enhancement, participation in UN Women Summits, and facilitating digital training sessions. Volunteers will gain hands-on experience in capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and social impact-driven project execution while refining leadership and communication skills.

They should demonstrate creativity and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to work flexibly and collaboratively in a team environment with enthusiasm and commitment.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
