Engagement of an Individual Consultant to Develop a Microsite for the West Africa Unique
Identification for Regional Integration and Inclusion (WURI) Project

Project Reference No.: P161329

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has received a grant from the World Bank
toward the implementation of West Africa Unique Identification for Regional Integration and Inclusion
(WURI) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for the Engagement of an Individual Consultant to
Develop a Microsite for the West Africa Unique Identification for Regional Integration and
Inclusion (WURI) Project.

The objective of the assignment is to develop a microsite that can serve as: (1) a dedicated platform to
provide comprehensive and up-to-date information about the WURI project; (2) a tool to raise
awareness about the WURI project; and (3) a comprehensive resource hub for anyone seeking in-depth
information about the project, among others.

Specifically, this involves:
a. Design and development of a microsite that will be a sub-page of the ECOWAS website
dedicated to the visibility of the impact of the WURI programme;
b. Creating an information repository (text, images, video, etc.) and processing and publishing
information materials on the microsite;
c. Development of a user manual for the microsite;
d. Training of responsible officers on how to make optimal use of the microsite.

contract between the Consultant and the ECOWAS Commission.

The ECOWAS Commission now invites eligible Individual Consultants (“Consultants”) to indicate their
interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating
