BACKGROUND
The
ASEAN Foundation (AF) was established in December 1997 by ASEAN Foreign
Ministers in fulfilment of the decision of the ASEAN Leaders. It is a
non-profit ASEAN body under the ASEAN Charter and is mandated to promote
greater awareness of ASEAN and greater interaction among the peoples of ASEAN,
as well as their wider participation in ASEAN activities.
JUSTIFICATION
Recently, AF revamped the
design of its website and now requires support of a consultant to provide
website copy particularly for the following pages: about us and what we
do.
At the same time, it is
interested to document projects with proven results to attract donors’
attention. The documentation is to showcase the significant achievements of the
key projects which would be used to provide information and visibility on AF’s
programmes, projects and activities. AF could also use the documentation for interaction
with partners, including ASEAN Member States, donors and partners.
