Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
UNICEF is embarking on developing new technologies for gender-based violence programming. In order to address challenges in updating referral pathways remotely, and making information widely accessible to women and girls on the available services in the context of COVID-19, UNICEF has built on existing applications in order to develop an open-source PWA (progressive web app) to enable remote updating of referral pathways.
A referral pathway is a guide that outlines the various support and referral services, that involve ongoing support from a caseworker (the person providing direct support and care for survivors of GBV).
One of the first pilot countries for the product is Bangladesh and the web app is designed with users' inputs from Bangladesh to ensure that it is well designed for their use.
The text that will be translated from English to Bangla/Bengali will enable users to navigate the app fluently and smoothly in Bangla/ Bengali.
