Copy Editor and Graphic Designer (Biodiversity Finance Reports) Tender

UNDP-KEN/KENYA

About this tender

UNDP Kenya is procuring an individual contractor to copy edit and proof three biodiversity finance reports produced under the BIOFIN Programme. The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the BIOFIN Programme Manager, who is responsible for content accuracy, technical flow and editorial approvals, and the UNDP Communications Officer, who is responsible for graphic identity, editorial quality and branding compliance. The core deliverables are thorough copyediting and proofreading of the draft texts. This includes resolving grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax and consistency issues, and standardising citations, acronyms and references. The consultant must also specify the house style or referencing standard to be used (for example UNDP style guide, APA or Chicago). Technical economic and environmental language must be simplified into clear, concise, policy-relevant narratives without compromising factual accuracy, and editorial feedback must be integrated systematically. The assignment period is 45 calendar days. The title also refers to graphic design, but the page text describes only the editorial scope in detail, so the graphic design deliverables should be confirmed in the tender documents.
