The Communications Unit supports WFP India’s mission to raise awareness, mobilize support, and sustain partnerships for food security and nutrition. This internship will support the Digital Communications associate in planning, producing, monitoring and reporting on WFP India’s digital engagement across Twitter (X), YouTube and Instagram. The role is designed to build practical skills in digital humanitarian communications while contributing to WFP’s outreach for country-level programmes and UN-led events.

Under the direct supervision of Head of Communication and Media, the UN Associate Volunteer will have a core remit to support digital content planning, research, analytics and event-related communications.

Key areas of work include:
• Assist the Digital Communications Associate in day-to-day management of WFP India’s social media channels: Twitter (X), Instagram and YouTube (channel support, up-load processes, metadata, thumbnails, captions, and scheduling).
• Map and maintain a rolling social media calendar (daily/weekly/monthly) that aligns with WFP programme milestones, global observances (e.g., World Food Day), and UN/WFP campaigns.
• Research regional and global food security issues, trends and data to inform posts, thread ideas, short scripts for video shorts, and content briefs.
• Draft social media copy, image/text post briefs, and short-form video scripts (30–90 seconds) for review and scheduling.
• Prepare and produce basic social assets where needed (captioned clips, infographic templates, story-sized graphics) using approved WFP templates and brand guidelines.
• Generate weekly and monthly social media impact reports, including metrics (reach, impressions, engagement rate, video views, follower growth), qualitative takeaways, and recommendations for optimisation.
• Monitor channel activity, surface trending conversations and potential engagement opportunities, and flag risks (e.g., misinformation, sensitive content) to the supervi-sor.
• Support communications planning and delivery for UN and WFP events in India (briefing notes, social media playbooks, live coverage coordination, asset gathering, and post-event reporting).
• Coordinate with programme, operations and policy colleagues to source human-interest material, beneficiary stories, expert quotes and visual assets for social content.
• Document lessons learned and compiled a handover pack with content calendars, as set lists and reporting templates at the end of the assignment.
