JOB GENERAL OBJECTIVE AND CONTEXT In MSF project countries and regional offices, there has been an organic growth usage of digital channels – particularly social media - across field operations and there is a need to sustain and manage this growth strategically in support to MSF’s social mission. To date there is a social media profile in some OCBA countries of operations, in addition to regional profiles such as Latin America, West Africa, East Africa, etc. The need to integrate more robust digital engagement components to operational comms strategies is further increased by the global scale of response and public narrative on COVID-19.
