Mission and objectives
UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and is mandated to provide assistance and protection to a population of some 5 million registered Palestine refugees. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and the Gaza Strip to achieve their full potential in human development, pending a just solution to their plight. UNRWA’s services encompass education, health care, relief and social services, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance and emergency assistance. UNRWA is the largest UN operation in the Middle East with more than 30,000 staff. UNRWA’s primary role is to offer humanitarian services in education, healthcare, relief, social services, infrastructure, camp improvement, and emergency response to over 5 million registered Palestine refugees across its five areas of operations: Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank including the East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. The agency also plays a key role in advocating for the rights of Palestine refugees and supporting their well-being until a durable solution to their plight is found. The Department of External Relations and Communications (ERCD) is responsible for raising funds and ensuring due diligence of private sector contributions for the entire Agency. Its Communications Division (CD) focuses on improving internal communication within the agency, as well as communication with Palestine refugee communities and the general public. The Internal Communications Unit is seeking a qualified volunteer to join the team to enhance communications between UNRWA staff, management, and Palestine refugee communities.
