Since 2018, many significant changes has happened in the operation of UNHCR Brazil. Affected by the Venezuelan Situation, the operation has expanded its staffing and presence in several field locations. As the Venezuelan influx is foreseen to continue and new arrivals stays in the border state of Roraima, pressuring local services and struggling to survive with very limited economic opportunities available, Brazil Government, through the so called “Welcome Operation” (Operacao Acolhida) is strengthening its efforts to expand the internal voluntary relocation programme aiming to decongest Roraima state while supporting Venezuelans to access better economic prospects in the new destination cities after relocation. UNHCR Brazil aims to increase its assistance in Roraima to the Venezuelans in the internal voluntary relocation programme (“interiorization”) implemented by the Government of Brazil. The incumbent will deal with media requests, liaise with other external entities/partners regarding public information activities and produce original content for UNHCR communication channels, ensuring the visibility of UNHCR and partners in this operation, always taking into account protection concerns and the best interest of beneficiaries. The nature of certain tasks requires discretion and confidentiality as per UNHCR standards and practices.
