The Inter Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa has published an expression of interest for the ECOWAS Gender Development Centre to recruit an individual consultant to design, develop, deploy and operationalize the centre’s digital ecosystem. The assignment covers a multilingual public website, a content management system, a web application firewall and security dashboard, a secure cloud collaborative workspace, integration with the ECOWAS Gender Observatory, and an artificial intelligence system to support content analysis and administrative tasks. The terms of reference frame the work as a technical implementation and training mandate rather than an organizational or editorial one. The consultant is expected to deliver a WCAG-compliant website, role-based content and document management, real-time security monitoring, encrypted collaboration tools, automated ECOGO data retrieval and visualization, and AI capabilities for summarizing reports, extracting insights and supporting workflows. The project is scheduled to run for three months across analysis and design, development and integration, and testing, training and launch, with the budget also expected to cover a mandatory six-month support period. Applications are due by February 24, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. GMT. Selection will follow the qualification-based method under the ECOWAS Public Procurement Code, with the highest-scoring consultant invited to submit a financial proposal for negotiation.
