Graphic Design and Visual Content for the YouthConnekt Africa Summit 2026

The YouthConnekt Africa Summit 2026 (25-27 November, Kigali, Rwanda) will discuss six thematic tracks: cross-border trade, governance and trust, dignified work, climate and green livelihoods, the creative economy, and youth health.
To reach young people across the continent, the Summit needs clear, consistent visuals that make these topics and the Summit's outcomes easy to understand and share. The designs will be used on YouthConnekt Africa and UNDP social media channels, in partner communications, and on screens at the venue.

We are looking for three (3) Online Volunteers who, under the supervision of the Project Communication & External Relations at UNDP Rwanda and in close collaboration with the YouthConnekt Africa communications team, will design visual materials for the Summit. In particular, each Online Volunteer will:
• Review the Summit's visual identity and brand guidelines, which will be shared in advance, and apply them consistently.
• Design social media templates (posts, stories, carousels) for each of the six thematic tracks, in English and French versions.
• Create speaker and session cards, countdown graphics and programme highlights.
• Produce simple infographics and data visuals explaining Summit themes and, after the Summit, its confirmed outcomes.
• Prepare editable templates in Canva or similar tools so the communications team and other volunteers can reuse them.
• Revise designs based on feedback and deliver final files in agreed formats.
• Attend virtual check-ins with the communications team (Kigali time, UTC+2).
The work is split by theme or format among the three volunteers. All designs must follow the Summit and UNDP branding guidelines and are approved by the communications team before use.
Online volunteers will build a portfolio of advocacy design for a continental event, work with UNDP and YouthConnekt Africa communications professionals, and receive a certificate of appreciation on successful completion.
