The volunteer will be responsible for supporting FLO’s team in learning how to write better reports and impactful stories. This involves reporting techniques, interviews, and storytelling skills.
Description
Objectifs
In Kratie province, Cambodia, communities living in forest areas struggle with limited support for development and subsistence. The NGO Forests and Livelihood Organization (FLO) is committed to improving the livelihoods of these communities through diverse programs funded and supported by various donors and partners.
FLO has designed few years ago its communication plan, however, there is no dedicated communication officer within the team and team members lack of time and technical skills to implement the plan.
Recognizing these needs, FLO’s team would greatly benefit from training in efficient reporting and storytelling. Such training would optimize the workload for Project Managers and the Director, particularly in compiling reports for each project.
Report writing: Over recent years, FLO has secured an increasing number of grants from various sources. However, meeting the reporting requirements of each donor presents a challenge. Improved report writing will help us communicate our activities and financial needs more effectively, ensuring transparency and fostering stronger relationships with our funding partners.
Storytelling: We also want to develop our team’s ability to showcase the success stories of our projects within the communities we serve. The staff currently lacks the skills necessary to conduct effective interviews and write compelling narratives that highlight the positive impacts of our initiatives. Training in storytelling will empower our team to share these important stories, engaging our stakeholders and inspiring further support for our mission.
The support of Planète Urgence volunteers is crucial because FLO lacks the required skills for this mission and does not have the financial means to pay a trainer. This mission will take place after a first mission who took place in November 2023. Juliette the first volunteer worked on the analysis of the current communication pla and the social media but another mission is needed. The new volunteer will receive the report of the last mission.
