Saferworld is an independent not-for-profit international organisation working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives – working in countries and territories across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. We work in solidarity with people affected by conflict to improve their safety and sense of security, and conduct wider research and analysis. We use this evidence and learning to improve local, national and international policies and practices that can help build lasting peace. Our priority is people – we believe in a world where everyone can lead peaceful, fulfilling lives, free from fear and insecurity.

Summary

This tender is for a consultancy taking place from 1 September 2023 (or as soon as possible thereafter) until 31 August 2024. The Consultant will be responsible for:

  • maintaining the CSF and CSRF websites,
  • supporting the development of new website areas (themes, functions etc.),
  • making changes to existing website areas, if necessary,
  • delivering new design updates,
  • and supporting the collection of analytics.

Depending on budget availability, the consultant may also be responsible for a review and more substantive re-branding and re-design of the CSRF website.

Background

Saferworld is looking for website services to maintain the CSF and CSRF websites, and possibly to review and refresh the CSRF website.

Conflict sensitivity is an approach that seeks to maximise the positive impacts of humanitarian and development initiatives for peace, whilst avoiding harm. Established in 2016 and hosted by Saferworld, the Conflict Sensitivity Resource Facility (CSRF) in South Sudan supports the integration of conflict sensitivity into donors’ and other aid actors’ strategies, policies, and programmes. The Facility is hosted by Saferworld and implemented in partnership with swisspeace; both organisations provide technical support to the Facility team. The CSRF website is in English and is an important source for contextual analysis on South Sudan, aiming to enhance aid actors’ understanding of the context and serve as a platform for the CSRF to raise awareness about its activities. The CSRF website was launched in 2016 and, in the long-run, will likely require some design updates in line with the CSRF’s branding and outreach strategy.

The Conflict Sensitivity Facility (CSF) in Sudan was established in 2021 and is also hosted by Saferworld. Like the CSRF, the CSF supports aid actors in Sudan to adopt more conflict-sensitive practices in their work to ensure they avoid unintentionally feeding conflict and maximising their potential contributions to peace. The CSF website was more recently designed than the CSRF website but is also likely to require some minor design updates in line with the CSF’s programme adjustment following the eruption of conflict in Sudan in April 2023. The CSF website is available in English and Arabic.

Overall, the websites aim to boost awareness of conflict sensitivity and the facilities among aid practitioners and donors; to improve their access to resources, trainings and other support to promote uptake of more conflict-sensitive approaches; and to create and inspire community discussion around key conflict sensitivity issues. The two websites aim to achieve this through the following:

Clear communication of facility identity and purpose:

    • Improved branding awareness; – Transparency of ownership and funding; – Facilitate access to greater understanding of ‘conflict sensitivity’ and why it is important for the aid sector.
  • Audience engagement:
    • Subscribe to the mailing lists;
    • Read and consider blog content;
    • Follow both facilities on social media channels;
    • Learn about upcoming events and trainings conducting by the facilities.
  • Facilitate access to information and training:
    • View or download documents on key issues to enhance their understanding of the contexts and conflict sensitivity issues via online library;
    • Access online training modules (via CSF website);
    • View and access information via interactive map (‘county profiles’ via CSRF website)
  • Required services/Scope of work

The scope of the work includes three main components:

  1. Ensure ongoing maintenance, technical support, and security for the CSF and CSRF websites for 12 months:
    1. Fix any emergency WordPress, plugin or theme issues;
    2. Implement the necessary security updates to all sites in a timely manner and without effect on site functionality; ensure the site continues to be secure as new exploits and bugs are discovered; run external scans of the website to detect malicious codes insertion; regular back-ups of the website;
    3. Creation of bespoke monthly analytics for the site overall (including Google studio portal and automatic monthly report containing page views and user info);
    4. Creation of bespoke monthly analytics for online training courses featured on the websites (including participant data, course completion rates, survey feedback);
    5. Refresher training for client team on content management for WordPress and any other content management or analytic tools;
    6. Recommendations on hosting arrangements.
  2. Support to minor revisions and content management for CSRF and CSF websites:
    1. Completion of minor revisions of CSF website and CSRF websites (e.g. adjusting formatting, addition of toolbars/banners, removing the Covid-19 guidance from the CSRF website, updating maps used for country profiles on the CSRF website)
  3. Potential review and refresh for CSRF website (TBC pending cost & budget availability):
    1. Branding update for CSRF website (e.g. development of adapted colour palette and new logo; integration of new branding into existing website);
    2. Review and refresh for website design (e.g. review and restructure of the home page; review of user journeys; restructure of menu toolbar);
    3. Support updates to website functionality (e.g. research repository to ensure proper functioning of search tool and accessibility of content);
    4. Two rounds of feedback on mock-ups and two rounds of feedback on designs prior to soft launch;
    5. Additional round of feedback between soft and hard launch.

Location of work

The consultancy will mostly likely be conducted remotely, working closely with the CSRF team in South Sudan and the CSF team in Sudan, as well as the Saferworld team in London and consortium partners, swisspeace, in Basel.

Timeframe

The overall consultancy will start on 1 September 2023 (or as soon as possible thereafter) and run until 31 August 2024, at which time the contract will be reviewed and renewed (subject to performance and availability of funds).

Remuneration

Payment will be made on a fixed/lump sum basis for regular maintenance/tech services under component 1. Given the variable scope of components 2 and 3, it is suggested that payment be on an hourly/daily basis following satisfactory delivery of relevant outputs.

The Consultant will also be compensated for any expenses associated with conducting the task, each expense being subject to explicit prior approval. Additional compensation will not be provided for costs related to telephonic or internet communication.

Confidentiality and authorship

Saferworld will have exclusive ownership of the online websites and its contents.
