The contractor will catalogue existing CRSV knowledge products, organize and classify documents, identify outdated or duplicate content for archiving, and highlight gaps requiring clarification for inclusion in the Summaries.

Direct engagement with Senior/Women Protection Advisers and CRSV focal points may be required to validate details and captions. The contractor will liaise with PBPS on photo usage rights and participate in regular check-ins to review progress. For drafting and content development, the contractor will prepare an annotated outline of the Summaries, including proposed stories, captions, and structure. They will draft the full English version, covering the introduction, contextual overview, thematic vignettes under the five CRSV objectives, photo captions, and a “Way Forward” section. Drafts will be revised based on PBPS/DPET feedback. The contractor will then handle translation and bilingual harmonization, producing the French version and ensuring alignment between both languages in structure, terminology, and narrative flow, using the UN CRSV lexicon. Proofreading support for other PBPS/DPET products may also be provided. In parallel, the contractor will manage digital knowledge tasks, reorganizing CRSV repositories, applying consistent metadata and file naming conventions, archiving outdated content, and developing a bilingual digital library of external CRSV resources. For finalization, the contractor will prepare publication-ready English and French files, format photos and visual elements, and ensure layout consistency. Design-ready drafts will be delivered for printing and digital dissemination, with all materials archived and returned to PBPS/DPET.
