Expert Application Advice

What this role involves
You will manage communications for UN projects in Kampala, coordinating messaging across media, partners, and field teams. Day-to-day tasks include drafting press releases, monitoring public sentiment, and ensuring project updates reach local communities and donors promptly. Expect to travel occasionally to project sites in Uganda.

Key skills to highlight
Strong writing and editing in English (plus any local language like Luganda or Swahili), experience with digital media tools (e.g., Canva, Hootsuite), and ability to simplify complex project data into clear stories. Also show familiarity with UN or NGO communication protocols and basic monitoring and evaluation frameworks.

Taf4All CV tip
List a concrete example of a communication campaign you led, with measurable results (e.g., "Increased community engagement by 30% through radio spots in rural Uganda"). Use the job’s location and context—mentioning Kampala or East Africa—to show local relevance.

Before you apply
Verify this role is on the official UN careers site or the recruiter’s verified portal. Never pay for application forms or interviews. If asked for bank details upfront, report it to Taf4All immediately.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
