Public Relations Officer (PRO)
Job Description
Title: Public Relations Officer (PRO)
Company Name: Municipal Association of Bangladesh-MAB
Vacancy: 1
Job Location: Anywhere in Bangladesh
Employment Status: Full-time
Educational Requirements:
∎ Bachelor/master's degree in communications, Public Relations, English, Journalism, or a related field.
Experience Requirements:
∎ 2 to 3 year(s)
Job Context:
∎ Job Location: MAB Office, Dhaka with frequent visits to project locations.
∎ Contract Duration: Initial contract from September 2023 - December 2023; contract extension based on the incumbent`s performance and donor approval.
∎ Funded by the Governments of Switzerland and Bangladesh, co-implemented by Swisscontact and the Local Government Division (LGD), the PRABRIDDHI project is working with the partner municipalities to foster Local Economic Development (LED). After successful piloting, Phase 1 of the project started in January 2021 for a period of four years and focuses on further development of the LED approach in participating municipalities, capacity building of stakeholders and facilitators of LED and an anchoring of the approach on national level. Throughout this phase, the project will be implemented in eight municipalities. Shibganj, Jashore, Bogura, Bhairab, Dinajpur and Kushtia are the six municipalities where the project is now being implemented.
∎ The Municipal Association of Bangladesh (MAB), the umbrella organisation of all the municipalities across the country, is a key partner in this endeavor. In Bangladesh, there is no interactive virtual platform where municipalities can find information and guidance, can communicate, and share knowledge and good practices on LED with other municipalities. MAB has virtual footprints through a dedicated website and a Facebook page - where they share only event and workshop announcement and updates. As a result, their website and Facebook page have limited attractiveness and outreach. Due to capacity and resource constraints, MAB is currently not able to ensure proper utilisation of its existing digital channels. However, MAB can use the digital platform to implement its mandate to advocate for LED all over the country. They have the scope to operate an interactive virtual platform on LED if adequate support is provided to their areas of improvement.
∎ In this backdrop, creating a virtual platform for sharing LED knowledge and experience will be a timely initiative to foster LED all over the country. Virtual platforms have proven to be effective and efficient tools for knowledge management and promotion. The primary target group of the virtual platform includes mayors, councilors, and municipal administrations. Therefore, MAB, in association with the PRABRIDDHI Project, seeks a dynamic and highly skilled individual to manage the virtual platform and execute digital media strategies and campaigns for the organization.
∎ Goal of the Project
∎ To establish a virtual platform highlighting LED approach in terms of strengthening local economic well-being and MAB`s role in enhancing cooperation and knowledge sharing among municipalities in ensuring economic development, democratic decentralization, and good governance.
