Purpose Of Activity/ Assignment
The purpose of this consultancy is to develop new features and enhance the overall performance of the current ECW website to attract users, increase traffic and provide up to date information to ECW stakeholders
The Education Cannot Wait (ECW) website, educationcannotwait.org, underwent a comprehensive overhaul in 2022 to reflect ECW’s rapid growth as the global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises within the UN system, hosted by UNICEF. The redesigned site was aligned with ECW’s 2023 - 2026 Strategic Plan priorities, focusing on institutional strategic communications, public advocacy, transparency, and accountability.
The current Drupal-based content management system (CMS) provides robust functionalities to support external communications and enhance ECW’s ability to convey its messages and brand identity. However, as ECW enters its next strategic period, several key features and functionalities require updates to ensure they remain fit for purpose and responsive to the needs of ECW’s target audiences – particularly in the context of ECW’s replenishment efforts.
These updates will also form part of a broader review of ECW’s digital ecosystem and platforms.
