Mission and objectivesCreated in 1950, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced persons and stateless people. UNHCR’s primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of people who have been forced to flee. Organizations led by displaced and stateless persons, including Refugee-led and Community-based Organizations (e.g., organizations led by IDPs, women, persons with disabilities and youth) are often the first responders in humanitarian emergencies and can access areas to which UNHCR and partners have no or limited access. They also often have a profound understanding of the issues and capacities of people UNHCR serves, which allows them to effectively respond to their needs. One of UNHCR’s priorities is to strengthen and increase our engagement with these actors.
ContextUNHCR works in some of the most challenging work environments and maintaining a strong ethical foundation is crucial for the successful delivery of our mandate. One of the activities supporting the creation of an ethical culture is the mandatory annual delivery of Code of Conduct Dialogues in all operations and teams in the organization. Through this, Code of Conduct Dialogues play a pivotal role in achieving this by ensuring that all colleagues, regardless of contract type or category, understand and adhere to UNHCR's ethical standards and policies.
Task DescriptionWe are launching our 2025 Code of Conduct in February. We need all materials - Presentations (both slides and notes in the slide), Facilitator Guidelines and Planning instructions translated into Spanish. Number of words to be translated is around 25,000. We would like to have a single translator doing all the work to ensure uniformity in language and style. Content covers topics around team collaboration and ethical decision making. While we want to capture the spirit of the text this is not a technical translation.
