A. Background
UCLG ASPAC is one of the Regional Sections of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), an amalgamation of International Union of Local Authorities, United Towns Organization (UTO), and World Association of the Major Metropolises (METROPOLIS). UCLG is a worldwide association, and the only local government organization recognized by the United Nations. The Asia and Pacific region is the biggest of the Regional Sections in UCLG with linkages to more than 7,000 local governments. It represents over 3.76 billion people- making up more than half of the world’s population– and incorporates economically fast-developing countries such as China, India, and Indonesia.
In January 2020, the European Union (EU) and the United Cities and Local Governments Asia Pacific (UCLG ASPAC) launched the Climate Resilient and Inclusive Cities (CRIC) Project to help cities plan and prepare better to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The project seeks to create a long-lasting and unique cooperation between cities and research centers in Europe, Southeast Asia, and South Asia through a series of workshops, joint training, and transfer of knowledge and testing tools. The project will be implemented in 10 Indonesian pilot cities where the city governments will receive technical assistance on how to integrate resilience and inclusivity in their urban development plans.
Throughout the project implementation, we will produce various communication materials to be disseminated to audiences ranging from policymakers, researchers, NGOs, CSOs, local communities in pilot cities also international audiences in Europe and South Asia. To ensure a consistent and quality visual identity of our project, we are seeking a graphic designer who can create and design visual communication pieces to engage the aforementioned stakeholders.
Throughout the project implementation, training, workshops and knowledge-sharing activities will be held involving partners and relevant stakeholders in Europe, Indonesia and South Asia. To ensure smooth delivery of communication, an interpreter is required to work on a consultancy basis. The selected interpreter will interpret conversations from English to Indonesian and Indonesian to English for various occasions, such as meetings, workshops, training conducted online or offline. The consultant must have an exquisite grasp of English and Indonesian, be familiar with climate change issues and be able to convey verbal messages in a context that the recipient can understand.
