About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

ADRA Zambia, a faith-based humanitarian NGO reaches over 20,000 people each year with various activities in health, education, agriculture, and economic empowerment. This is achieved through empowerment initiatives and capacity building of communities to enable people to be self-reliant in a sustainable way. To achieve its mission ADRA uses media and communication content to raise resources and highlight impact. Therefore, communication and media are critical platforms for ADRA in developing and implementing effective communication strategies to increase the visibility and impact of our work. You will work closely with ADRA’s Communication Officer and projects teams in developing content for website and social media updates, including TV and radio. You will also work on designing key marketing messages for advocacy and campaigning on prevention of disasters and awareness raising. Key topics will be content identification, development and disseminating modalities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

ADRA will provide decent, furnished, and secure accommodation for you in Lusaka city. Zambians are friendly, welcoming people, and speak English and Chinyanja. A monthly sum of approx 420€ will be provided for your upkeep (meals and local transportation). You can make your own meals or go to various kinds of restaurants. Transport is by road using commuter taxis and easy access to several shopping malls. You will share transport with the ADRA team while doing your duties and if a field visit is necessary and accommodation will be provided. Health insurance will be covered by Henner.

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).
