Requirements:

The office of the Norwegian Refugee Council invites your company to make a firm offer for the following items:

The Libya INGO Forum was established in 2016 to share information and promote the voice of International NGOs (INGOs) in the humanitarian response within Libya. Since then, the Forum has grown to include 18 members and 5 observers, and developed its Secretariat, now comprising of four staff members: a Forum Director, an Advocacy Adviser, a Safety Adviser and a National NGO liaison officer. The Forum provides a joint platform to facilitate the work of INGOs and help members to efficiently and effectively address key issues of common interest.

Establishing a website will strengthen the Forum’s representation and outreach capacities. The website will be an online storefront where all stakeholders will find the Forum’s identity, values and principles, as well as its ways of working (governance and structure, members’ activities, etc.). It will be an effective way of introducing external actors to the Forum’s activities and advocacy objectives, while providing accurate and updated news and information on its members’ activities and advocacy work.

The second objective of the website will be to support the Forum’s advocacy objectives in their public and external dimension. With time, it can also provide a medium to showcase members’ work and demonstrate their impact in Libya, while reinforcing the LIF credibility and external representation role.

Finally, the website will also target actual and potential members by sharing and making available a certain amount of information (explaining for example why and how to join). For actual members, the website will be linked to an intranet where they will be able to access information of common interest and exchange information. With time, it can also be connected to relevant social platforms.
