Background of the assignment: INCB is the independent, quasi-judicial body charged with promoting and monitoring Government compliance with the three international drug control conventions: the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the 1988 Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. The INCB Secretariat will employ a contractor to format over hundred webpages on incb.org, with an upgraded WYSIWYG content management system (CMS), for which no coding expertise is required. This contractor’s work will aid in revamping the current website incb.org into a more visually compelling website that is both in line with the visual identity of the United Nations system but also highlights the sui-generis status of the International Narcotics Board (INCB), and the sections and programs of its secretariat. 2. Purpose of the assignment: The purpose of the assignment is to assist in the migration of incb.org from the current content management system (WebDMS) to a more recent version of such system. This migration is expected to improve incb.org in various fronts, including user experience, visual appearance, security, and information architecture. The contractor will work hand-in-hand with a public information officer employed by the INCB secretariat, but also with experts from different sections and programs within INCB, to understand the type of reformatting that needs to be conducted on most of the pages of the new website. On key webpages of the new website, the contractor is expected to reorganize the information, to significantly visually redesign its appearance, and to report abnormalities, both in terms of consistency of content and of functionality of the page. Finally, the contractor is expected to test the new website before its launch, and to reflect any update made on the current public website onto the next unpublished website, as far as two websites will co-exist before the expected date of the launch of the new website and the deactivation of the current one.
