Operational Context

Based within the Private Sector Partnership (PSP) unit, the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) office seeks to work with digital influencers to leverage opportunities in support of UNHCR’s fundraising goals (direct and indirect eg via donations and lead generation campaigns).

For the purposes of this post Digital Influencers are defined as having primarily risen to prominence online and have built their image/brand/influence/voice via their social media/online platforms (youtubers, vloggers, Instagramers etc) and can include those who have a background in E-sports,or other backgrounds but have a strong presence on digital media platforms.

UNHCR high profile supporters (HPS) and Goodwill Ambassadors (GWA) are celebrities who have achieved a high level of mainstream recognition and respect through their contribution via the Arts/Sport/Culture. HPS/GWA are managed by the Goodwill Ambassador (GWA, Global Communications Service) team.

Many HPS/GWA also have significant social media followings and have become digital influencers in their own right. Similarly, the term “celebrity” can now apply equally to digital influencers given the scale of many of their online followings or, for micro influencers, their high engagement rate. Therefore close coordination between PSP and the GWA team is necessary.
