- Adapts and enhances existing MSF content aligned to MSF SnA Positioning framework, editorial choices, departmental strategies and insights on content repurposing best practice and analysis to ensure materials are relevant and effective for MSF SnA audiences.
- Maintains overview of material produced and provides regular reports to support the Comms Manager to assess outputs.
- Maintains a library of MSF-produced content that can be accessed and utilized by all MSF departments for various communications initiatives.

**2)**Fieldworker content contributions**
