- Assist the MOPH PPP Unit in the development of a PPP promotional video to educate stakeholders and potential investors and hospital operators re upcoming Hospital PPP opportunities in Afghanistan and attract their interest and involvement; this will require working closely with various PPP advisors, MoPH PPP staff and HPP staff.
You will demonstrate:
- Master’s Degree and/or work experience in public health, communication, journalism, international development, or related field;
- Knowledge of development and use of communication tools, such as websites, new media, print publications and promotional materials;
- Experience in PPPs related to health a plus.
