So we can put competencies under Skills. - Education Required Skills and Experience: includes education requirements and experience. Could beRequirements

. Since we already used Skills for competencies, maybe Requirements for education and experience. Or Qualifications for education, Skills for competencies. Let's decide: Use Requirements for education and experience. Use Skills for competencies. We must not include sections with placeholder text. No Pay, Schedule, Benefits as not present. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all duties lines exactly as given, all competencies lines, education requirements, experience note. We need to format as HTML fragment only. Let's extract substantive content: Background paragraph(s): "Background Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply. Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. T he United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 170 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. At UNDP, external and internal communication—nationally, regionally and globally—is critical to achieving both development results and business objectives. Skillful communication broadens the impacts of new policies, helps governance reforms take root, and attracts and fosters strong partnerships. The Communications Group within UNDP is at the forefront of advancing online communications and outreach across the organization. The Communications Group within the Bureau of External Relations and Advocacy (BERA) contributes to UNDP's overall communications vision and strategy. The teams serve as the main interface with the media and external public; collaborate across UNDP units to develop corporate messaging on the organization’s priorities; protect and promote UNDP’s brand via reputation management, position UNDP’s leadership and messages externally, highlight donor contributions; harvest and showcase news and stories/results from Country Offices; lead on special events, liaise with Goodwill Ambassadors and liaise with other UN communications entities." We need to remove EEO/boilerplate lines: "UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks." That's legal boilerplate; remove. Also "People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply." That's part of DEI statement; maybe keep as it's substantive about encouraging applications? It's not boilerplate; it's a statement encouraging applications. Could keep. However "Learn more about working at UNDP including our values and inspiring stories." is generic; maybe keep as part of background. We need to remove duplicated lines. There's a typo: "T he United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)" with space before T; we should keep as is but fix? We should preserve exactly? Probably keep as is but maybe correct typo? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the text as is, including the typo? Might be considered a typo but it's part of the posting. Safer to keep exactly as given, but we could trim extra space? It's part of the string; we could keep "The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)" by removing the space? That would be altering. I'd keep as is but maybe remove the leading space before T? The original: "T he United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)" includes a space after T? Actually it's "T he". Likely a typo; but we should not invent or summarize away detail; correcting typo could be considered inventing? It's a minor edit; but maybe we keep as is. Duties And Responsibilities: "Duties may include, but are not limited to: Tracking, researching and analyzing information on assigned topics, gathering information from diverse sources and helping assess news value and other potential impacts. Assisting with the implementation of communications campaigns; identifying and proposing information opportunities, activities and approaches. Assisting with organizing press conferences for communications campaigns on priority development issues. Assisting with media monitoring and preparing news compilations on priority development themes. Maintaining and updating media and subscription mailing lists. Any other assigned tasks as required" We need to put each as - .
Competencies:
"Solid writing and editing skills;Strong organizational skills and the ability to multitask;Attention to detail is crucial;Responsible, responsive, and enthusiastic;Interest in global issues and the United Nations;Must be able to work in a multi-cultural environment and be aware of political sensitivities."
These are separated by semicolons. We'll split into list items.
Education Required Skills and Experience:
"Applicants Must Meet One Of The Following Requirements
Be enrolled in a graduate school Programme (second university degree or equivalent, or higher);
Be enrolled in the final academic year of a first university degree Programme (minimum bachelor’s level or equivalent);
Have graduated with a university degree (as defined in (a) and (b) above) and, if selected, must start the internship within one-year of graduation."
Experience:
"Experience
Experience in communication and media work is an asset"
We need to keep that.
Now we need to output HTML with headings.
We'll have:
About the role
Background Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a ‘leave no one behind’ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations.

Note: I removed the duplicated line about UNDP not tolerating etc. Also removed the extra space before T? I kept "The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)" (I removed the space). That's altering; maybe better to keep original: "T he United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)". But that looks weird. I'd keep as given but maybe fix the space? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Changing "T he" to "The" is inventing? It's correcting a typo, which could be considered altering detail. Safer to keep exactly as in source: "T he United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)". However there is a space after T? Actually it's "T he". We'll keep that. Thus background paragraph: start with "Background Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: ..." then later "T he United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network..." We'll keep that. Now Responsibilities:Responsibilities
