ContextThese factsheets play a crucial role in advocacy efforts for several reasons: 1. Communicating Key Messages Clearly: They provide concise, evidence-based information on critical health issues, ensuring that decision-makers, partners, and stakeholders quickly grasp the key priorities. 2. Supporting Policy Influence & Decision-Making: By summarizing essential data and recommendations, these factsheets help policymakers and government officials make informed decisions aligned with national health strategies. 3. Strengthening Stakeholder Engagement: They serve as a valuable tool for engaging donors, development partners, and the private sector, encouraging investment in health programs. 4. Enhancing Public Awareness & Mobilization: By simplifying complex health challenges, they raise awareness among communities, civil society organizations, and media, fostering stronger public support for health initiatives. 5. Facilitating Multilingual Accessibility: Translating these factsheets into Arabic ensures broader accessibility and engagement, particularly with Arabic-speaking policymakers, local organizations, and communities in Mauritania and the region. 6. Aligning with Global & National Health Agendas: They help align local advocacy efforts with WHOโs global health priorities, SDGs, and Mauritaniaโs national health strategy, reinforcing the urgency of targeted interventions.
Task DescriptionThe WHO Mauritania Country Office has developed two-page factsheets to support advocacy efforts. Originally written in French and/or English, we are looking for one online volunteer to help us translate 12 factsheets into Arabic.
