| Overview : Queen Máxima of the Netherlands has served as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development (UNSGSA) since 2009. As Special Advocate she is a leading global voice advancing universal access to affordable, effective, and safe financial services for the poor. She emphasizes that financial inclusion accelerates progress toward numerous development and economic goals, including poverty alleviation, job creation, food security, gender equality, and equitable growth. Collaborating closely with global and national partners, she raises awareness, encourages leadership, works to break down barriers, and supports action to expand financial inclusion. A small office housed at UNDP in New York supports the Special Advocate and works in close collaboration with the Queen’s secretariat in The Hague. Under the guidance and direct supervision of the UNSGSA communications specialist and office staff, the web/print designer will be responsible for creating the UNSGSA Annual Reports, including cover, interiors, and infographics; and design other print and web products as needed. The purpose of this procurement exercise is to contract an individual consultant who will provide design services for both web and print projects, including the UNSGSA annual report and including other projects as needed. |
