Terms of Reference
Title: Trainer on Social Media and Writing for the Web
Project: Advancing Accountability Mechanisms in Public Finance;
Reporting to: Portfolio Manager
Duty Station: Belgrade
Contract Type: Individual Contract (IC)
Duration: 6 working days within September 2014
Background
- Purpose
To prepare and deliver training on Social Media and Writing for the Web to journalists and NGO professionals;
- Objective
To enable journalists to investigate and write evidence based articles about the corruption and public spending using the social media
- Background Information
In 2012, UNDP Serbia has adapted the various successful models of investigative journalism done through the NGOs, creating a UNDP methodology of joining investigative journalists and NGOs to monitor public finances. This methodology was successfully tested in Serbia in 2013, when three NGOs were using techniques of investigative journalism to investigate and report through social media on corruption. Some 40 investigative stories and blogs were published in the course of six months. The most prominent stories were picked up by mainstream media and resulted in government reactions that saw respective ministries file criminal complaints based on the findings of given stories.
In 2014, UNDP Serbia, through the “Advancing Accountability Mechanisms in Public Finances” project, is upscaling this initiative to cover all regions of Serbia. A series of grants have been provided to NGOs for practical work in the field, while a sustainable (including online) platform will be established in order to provide access to comparative practices of civil society in the region. Grants will, among others, be provided for modelling an innovative approach to investigative journalism that UNDP has successfully piloted in Serbia. Following the example of Pulitzer winning Propublica[1], investigative journalists will be placed in NGOs, by-passing the often interest-based editorial policies of mainstream media. In addition, journalists will be trained in the newest social networking skills to ensure that their findings exploit increased popularity of social media and its enormous potential and in accordance with that to reach a large audience.
UNDP Serbia is looking for a trainer who will provide training to approximately 30 journalists and NGO professionals on Social Media and Writing for the Web to ensure that their investigative endeavours become broadly accessible.

(ii) The individual must provide an official documentation from his/her employer formally certifying his or her status as being on “official leave without pay” for the duration of the IC.
- The above requirements are also applicable to Government-owned and controlled enterprises and well as other semi/partially or fully owned Government entities, whether or not the Government ownership is of majority or minority status.

Under such circumstance, the individual entering into an IC with UNDP must still provide a “No-objection” letter from the Government employing him/her. The “no objection” letter required under (i) above must also state that the employer formally certifies that their employees are allowed to receive short-term consultancy assignment from another entity without being on “leave-without-pay” status, and include any conditions and restrictions on granting such permission, if any. The said document may be obtained by, and put on record of, UNDP, in lieu of the document (ii) listed above.

Re: Naučite engelski
Prestanite s nesuvislim komentarima. Očito je da ne znate engleski, a da samim tim niste ni za ovaj posao. Jasno je da je uslov da trener zna engleski, ako ga ne zna, ne treba ni da čita oglas. Kakva agresivmo, ksenofobičn, bespotrebno ponašanje! Pozicija je očito internacionalna, i izveštaj se piše na engleskom. Srećno Vam bilo!

U Srbiji se govori SRPSKI
Objavljivanje oglasa na engleskom, samo znaci da je porobljavanje - politivcko, ekonomsko, mentalno, kulturno i svako drugo, u zavrsnoj fazi. Naravno, prvo strati medije. Uspesno to ide.

Re:
Da li je ovaj komentar moguc?! Poenta je da neki novinar dobije posao i odrzi radionicu. Da zaradi novac za ono sto je naucio u redakciji, a mimo redovnog posla. Ako bi se ovo prevodilo, trebalo bi jedan dan i vise. A koja je svrha, kada onaj koji radi, verovatno mora da zna engleski i da na engleskom izvestava o tome sta ce i kako raditi, i sta je i kako uradio.

Коми фо, коми фа, ето нове УНДП министарке
У чему је смисао објављивања опвог огласа, на енглеском? Да се засени простота? Могао је УНДП да га постави на свој сајт. Узгред, зашто УНС није превео оглас на српски? Ако дневне новине пристају на понижавајући однос и објављују плаћене огласе на страном језику, УНС то не мопра да чини, јер, верујем, да УНДП-у није наплатио објављивање овог огласа на енглеском.
