Mission and objectives

Morobe Development Foundation Inc. is a leading Internationally recognised NGO based in Lae Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea who has the vision to help young people reach their full potential by utilizing their hidden talents in community development initiatives so they can realize their potential and become a role model in the community. MDF was established to address a broader and more diverse range of objectives and work through the use of dance, music and drama, MDF’s primary aim is to ensure that women participate equally in decision making in any project undertaken, including projects related to Ending Violence against Women, and promoting Human Rights with a aim to support the Government and UN their Development Goals. MDF, in collaboration with Online Volunteers engaged through the UNV's Unified Volunteer Platform (UVP), has also undertaken various scientific research studies related to the environment - forest cover loss, land use land cover change, the influence of various parameters on surface waters, and coastal shoreline turtle habitat loss. These projects included the participation of various experts and researchers from diverse fields across various countries across the globe - ranging from marine biology, biodiversity conservation, PNG community management, remote sensing, and land use policy among various others. MDF is managed by a management committee, which is made up of the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman, Secretary, the Treasurer, the Project Coordinator, Community Development Officer, and a male and female member of the foundation, and ensures that women participate equally in decision making. We at MDF assert that we have the required skill sets, knowledge, established international network, and the necessary foundational work to undertake projects successfully.

Context

Papua New Guinea (PNG) grapples with energy challenges in its remote villages. Addressing this, we're initiating a research project on solar power implementation in these areas. This aligns with the MDF's mission of sustainable development and echoes the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. Partnering with Online Volunteers, we aim to pave a sustainable energy path for PNG's rural communities.

Task description

MDF seeks online volunteers to create a visual representation of our solar power initiatives in PNG's rural areas. Key responsibilities include: • Data Interpretation: Turn solar power research data into clear visuals. • Design: Craft a straightforward and impactful infographic. • Use of Icons: Include symbols that highlight solar power and its community benefits. • Revisions: Adjust the design based on MDF team's feedback. • Delivery: Produce a final infographic suitable for both online and print distribution. Throughout the assignment, online volunteers will collaborate closely with MDF PNG's team, receiving guidance and additional information as needed. Upon successful completion of this task, online volunteers will receive certification through the UNV and a reference letter from MDF, acknowledging their invaluable contribution.
