Mission and objectivesAs the lead United Nations agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries develop policies, leadership skills, partnerships and institutional capabilities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is centred around six core development areas, known as our signature solutions: poverty and inequality, governance, resilience, environment, energy and gender equality.
ContextThe corporate brochure will highlight the work and interventions of UNDP in Guinea Bissau, reflect on the questions Why? What? and How?. Showcase the achievements and the impact of the work. Furthermore, it will serve two audiences: a) national partners and counterparts to invite them for an ongoing conversation of our programming and development opportunities for the country; and b) international audience including the UN, Donors and other partners to awaken their interest in partnering with the country and UNDP. The brochure should follow a storytelling approach that not only focuses on quantitative results but also introduces deeper reflections on development challenges. As such, the assignment’s objectives are as follows: • Highlight the organization's achievements, challenges, and future plans in a compelling way to be disseminated among National Partners • Communicate the organization's impact and value to stakeholders, donors and other readers nationwide.
