Location: Flexible / Remote (candidates in the Global South are strongly encouraged to apply)
Time Period: May 2025 - April 2026
Organization: Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID)
Budget: AWID would consider proposals with budgets up to US $ 75,000.00
Overview of the organization:
The Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID) is a global feminist movement support organization. We are a unifying global force dedicated to advancing social justice through the power of our diverse feminist community. Stretching across 180 countries, we are a thought-leader committed to dismantling systemic oppression. Our approach combines research, knowledge sharing, and advocacy within policy and resourcing. We collaborate with global feminist, women's rights, and social justice movements to continually strive to amplify silenced voices and illuminate areas of darkness. Our mission is to foster a world thriving on equality, dignity, and justice, propelled by our brave collective political action.
Scope of the work
AWID has evolved over the years to deepen and widen the scope of our online presence and communications. Our current website requires updates to the Content Management System (CMS) to meet our current needs, and revisions to reflect our recent rebranding.
We are looking to redesign and restructure www.awid.org into a clear, accessible website, making use of new CMS software, ensuring that existing integrations with the Constituency Relationship Management (CRM) and Email Campaigning platform work seamlessly with the new CMS and align with AWID’s new branding.
The platform should allow non-technical users from AWID staff to create and customize web pages while maintaining brand consistency.
Some key considerations include:
- Help migrating current content from the current CMS software to the new CMS software.
- User-friendly interface for creating and editing web pages
- Flexible structure to allow future editing by the ICM team
- Layout builder for special sections with distinct use of images and derivated branding.
- Support for multiple user roles (admin, editor, contributor, reviewer)
- Ability to preview changes before publishing
- Version control and content revision history
The Consultant will be working with AWID’s Information, Communications and Media (ICM) and IT teams, with support from an internal cross-team Website Committee, and will be reporting to Tshegofatso Senne, AWID’s ICM Manager.
