Introduction
Background Info:
UNDP is the world’s leading development organization, with a proud history of more than a half-century working in every corner of the world to fight poverty, create jobs, administer elections, prevent disaster and recover after crisis while protecting the planet. On the ground in about 170 countries and territories, HDRO helps countries develop strong policies, skills, partnerships and institutions so they can sustain their progress. The universal commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and UN reform together present UNDP with the opportunity to focus our resources and expertise, and make a real impact on poverty, governance, energy, gender, resilience, and the environment.
The mission of the Human Development Report Office (HDRO) is to advance human development. The goal is to contribute towards the expansion of opportunities, choice and freedom. The office works towards this goal by promoting innovative new ideas, advocating practical policy changes, and constructively challenging policies and approaches that constrain human development. The office works with others to achieve change through writing and research, data analysis and presentation, support to national and regional analysis and outreach and advocacy work.
Human Development Reports (HDRs) have been published since 1990 and have explored different themes through the human development approach. They have had an extensive influence on development debate worldwide. HDR’s have also inspired national and regional analyses which, by their nature, usually address issues that are more country– or regionally - specific.
Project Specific Details:
Under the supervision of the HDR Production and Knowledge Management Analyst, and in close collaboration with the HDRO team, the Contractor will be responsible for translating the 2025 and subsequent two Human Development Reports (HDRs) and their Overviews incorporating text elements translated into Portuguese into all graphics, tables, figures, covers, etc. typesetting and preparing print-ready files and providing digital PDF versions. The translation will include incorporating any corrections, comments or other additions or deletions, as directed by the HDRO after finalization and supplying revised Web versions of both publications.
Important: Please note that this tender is open only to companies based in Portugal.
