Mission and objectivesThe United Nations World Food Programme is the worldโ€™s largest humanitarian organization saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change.

ContextWFP Sudan is currently facing a surge in fraudulent Facebook accounts and groups impersonating the organization. These fake accounts pose a risk to public trust and may spread misinformation. To address this, WFP Sudan is seeking support from Arabic-speaking online volunteers to help report these accounts to Facebook/META and trigger their removal. Volunteers will receive a certificate of appreciation from UNV and contribute to protecting the integrity of WFP Sudanโ€™s online presence.

Task DescriptionUnder the supervision of the Head of Communications, the 20 selected online volunteers will: - Use their personal Facebook accounts to report identified fraudulent pages and groups impersonating WFP Sudan. - Dedicate approximately 1 hour per day for 7 consecutive days to flag and report these accounts. - Follow a simple reporting guide provided by WFP Sudan to ensure consistency. - Submit a short daily log confirming completion of the task. Deliverables: - Daily reporting of flagged accounts/groups. - Final summary of actions taken at the end of the week.
