Mission and objectivesThe Ministry of Youth, Sport, and Arts (MYSA) is responsible for the development and implementation of Youth, Sport, and Arts development programmes to facilitate realization of their full potential and contribute to their physical and mental well-being. Following the change of Government on 12th August 2021, Parliament issued a Government Gazette Notice number 1123 in September 2021 which spelled out the mandates of the realigned Ministries including the Ministry of Youth, Sport, and Arts. The Department of Arts Development was created for the first time as a separate department in the Ministry of Youth, Sports, and Arts. Zambia has never had a National Arts Policy in its history and therefore the Arts Sector has not only lacked policy guidance but has also been uncoordinated. This has led to minimal impact of the arts sector and its growth in the country to be stunted. The realignment of the Ministry is envisioned to give the arts sector the needed attention for its transformation to a level to which it could effectively contribute to the Gross Domestic Product of the country meaningfully.
ContextThe Creative Industries Business Summit 2025 will be held from 25th to 28th June in Lusaka, Zambia, to unlock Africaโs creative potential. The Ministry seeks Online Volunteers to drive global digital outreach to support conference registrations and visibility. Volunteers will primarily amplify key messages through social media, engaging global audiences and creative professionals in advance of the summit.
Task DescriptionThe Online Volunteers will: 1. Manage and schedule social media content on assigned platforms using provided hashtags and materials. 2. Create and share engaging posts, videos, stories, and graphics to trigger interest and registration for CIBS 2025. 3. Engage with creative communities and followers, responding to queries and promoting the registration link (www.mysa.gov.zm/cibs). 4. Use personal social media influence to amplify official content from CIBS platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube). 5. Track basic engagement analytics (likes, shares, comments, registrations driven) and report on reach. 6. Attend virtual check-ins with the CIBS digital team to align on messaging and campaign updates.
