Roots Lab Branding & Web Development Consultant

Terms of Reference Roots Lab Branding & Web Development Consultant     Introduction Roots Lab is a collaborative pilot project of Oxfam, FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund, Global Fund for Women and Young Foundation that seeks to test how best to incubate social change driven by young women activists.   Oxfam in Lebanon is looking to hire a Branding and Web Development Consultant (individual/ team) for Roots Lab.   Project Background FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund, Global Fund for Women, Oxfam and the Young Foundation have joined together to adapt a potentially game-changing approach- a social innovation laboratory - to advance young women's rights, leadership and collective action. The project responds to the fact that deep-rooted gender inequality prevents millions of young women from making choices about and taking control of their own lives. Yet not enough resources go to young women directly to help them address, innovate around and combat these challenges. We believe young women activists are best placed to imagine and develop high-impact solutions in their communities, but they often lack the opportunity and capacity to do so. Young women often lack the connections across sectors, financial resources, professional skills, networks and profile necessary to develop their ideas, scale their projects, and access mentoring and coaching support In support to all project components and objectives, specifically outreach, communications, and advocacy there is a need to develop Roots Lab brand and design material, as well as a Roots Lab website.   Deliverables The designer is expected to deliver the following: -  Digital branding including Logo, color palette, typography, design elements to be used in upcoming design work & social media profile visuals -  Roots Lab bilingual and static website developed according to agreed content, hosting, and security requirements, as well as documentation and website training for staff.   The consultant will be briefed by Roots Lab team on needs and objectives at the beginning of the consultancy.   Work Conditions ·  The consultant will be expected to carry out the duties within the timeframe described below. ·  Oxfam will not provide any equipment and is not responsible for the consultant’s equipment. · Roots Lab Lebanon project manager will provide relevant information on the project, but the design process has to be consultative with all aforementioned organizations.   Milestones & Timeline The consultancy is expected to start on May 19, 2017 and end on June 19, 2017, according to the following schedule:   Conceptual design review and website brief to be approved, including main specifications (hosting & domain name, maintenance requirements, content management, tools, search engine optimization, reliability & security, statistics, other features…) May 23, 2017 Draft branding material May 29, 2017 Final branding and other design material June 5, 2017 Beta version of Website for comments June 12, 2017 Finalize website and upload online June 19, 2017   Reporting Line The consultant will coordinate with and report to the Lebanon Roots Lab Project Manager.   Experience and skills (firms, teams, individuals) ·   Proven design and web development experience ·   Good communication skills ·   Ability and availability to work quickly with short turnaround   Language requirements             ·   Arabic ·   English   Fees and timelines should be submitted as part of the application, to Oxfam in Lebanon by interested parties, including CV/portfolio and relevant experience by May 17, 2017.
