Social Media Manager

Background The project support a major development partner in Egypt in effectively communicating their partnership with Egypt. By raising awareness about this partnership and increasing the development partner's visibility, the project aims to foster a better understanding of the relationship, enhance the visibility of the development partner and improve the perception of their programmes in Egypt. Additionally, this project enhances the quality of communication and visibility of their projects and programmes in Egypt by effectively showcasing the results of their development partnership projects. Project activities include the implementation of communication campaigns and conducting visibility activities throughout Egypt. These efforts will contribute significantly to achieving a better understanding of the partnership with Egypt. The development partner is already actively engaged on social media, posting content approximately three times a week. During events, posts may increase to twice daily. Currently, the content on Facebook, X and Instagram is nearly identical, not catering to the distinct audiences of each platform. Their social media presence has been somewhat conservative and unidirectional, lacking engagement with its audience. Also youth, as one of the main target groups, is not being effectively addressed by their current social media. They now aim to increase its followers and enhance awareness of the Egypt partnership through more engaging, diversified, and audience-specific content. Objective The primary objective for this assignment is to significantly increase their social media follower base and enhance audience engagement, thereby raising awareness of the Egypt partnership. This objective will be achieved through the creation and implementation of a dynamic and engaging social media presence that caters to different audience segments, utilises diverse content formats, and fosters two-way communication. The Social Media Manager will therefore work to make their social media presence more appealing, interactive, and reflective of the interests and needs of the largely young population in Egypt.
