THE GAMBIA GENDER CHAMPIONS 

terms of Reference

Webdesigner for Website (INCL. Domain)

1.0 Background of Programme

While it is clear that gender equality requires actions on all levels, visibility and commitments at the highest level can act as catalysts and accelerators of change. When paired with concrete actions, like the Gender Champions Initiative, they are highly likely to have lasting impact. Specifically, the objective of the Gambia Gender Champions Initiative is to promote gender equality in The Gambia by establishing and amplifying the commitment of those in leadership roles to actively further gender equality within their mandates, and to increase the visibility of women in senior positions.

The initiative is jointly coordinated by the SheTrades National Host Institution, which is anchored at the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment with support from the SheTrades Project Manager at the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the SheTrades Advisory Board, and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Children and Social Welfare. The two Ministries collaborate in the coordination of activities, communicating about the initiative, supporting Champions in setting their commitments, coordinating annual reporting of impact achieved by the Champions, and organizing annual meetings for the Champions to network and strategize together on how to accomplish their commitments.

 

2.0 Objective of the Website

Through the initiative of local leaders, who make pledges promoting gender equality within their mandate, gender barriers will be broken-down and collaboration between genders will be increased. The joint engagement of women and men in the Gambian economy will be strengthened through the commitment of those in leadership roles.

The designed website should increase awareness for gender equality. It will introduce and subsequently explain the initiative in detail, present the champions and their background and publicly display their commitments. At the same time, the website should allow to monitor the progress each champion makes with his or her commitments.

Through the website, the companies involved in the Gender Champions Programme will promote their prominence and the awareness for gender equality and the visibility of women in senior positions will be increased.
