1. Background
As part of SOLUSI capacity-building efforts, the project has developed a series of technical training modules covering sustainable agriculture, fisheries, and inclusive business development. To enhance usability, accessibility, and learning effectiveness, SNV seeks to engage a skilled Graphic Design Consultant to support the visual development and layout design of training modules under the SOLUSI Project.
This assignment is a continuation of the training module development process previously undertaken within the SOLUSI Project. The selected consultant is expected to maintain consistency with the established visual identity, branding guidelines, and design style adopted in earlier modules while further improving the overall quality and user experience of the training materials.
2. Objectives
The objective of this assignment is to design visually engaging, user-friendly, and professionally formatted training modules that support effective learning and knowledge transfer for SOLUSI project beneficiaries and stakeholders.
3. Scope of Work
The scope of work includes, but is not limited to, the following tasks:
• Development of Visual Templates and Design Assets:
Design a set of standardized visual templates for training modules to ensure consistency across all SNV projects. This includes layouts for covers, section headers, content pages, and annexes, which can be reused and customized as needed.
• Copyediting and Content Structuring Support:
Support light copyediting and content structuring (layout and formatting) to improve the readability and flow of materials, ensuring that visuals complement and enhance the technical content.
• Review and Revisions:
Make revisions and adjustments to draft materials based on feedback from SNV’s Knowledge Management Officer and relevant project teams, ensuring high-quality final products.
• Brand and Visibility Compliance:
Ensure all products adhere to SNV’s branding guidelines, as well as donor and partner visibility requirements. This includes the appropriate use of logos, fonts, color schemes, and other branding elements.
• Accessibility and Inclusivity:
In collaboration with the Knowledge Management Officer, ensure that all materials produced are accessible and appropriate for diverse stakeholders, including vulnerable and marginalised groups.
• Collaboration and Coordination:
Maintain regular communication and coordination with the Knowledge Management Officer and relevant technical teams to ensure alignment with content objectives, timelines, and quality standards.
