Subject: [paforchange] JOB: World Bank–Short Term New Media Project

The World Bank’s Africa Electrification Initiative (AEI) is looking to hire a short-term consultant to implement the a new media and communications component. The person should have a strong IT and web design background. French would be a great advantage, as our target is mainly Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

This project stems from a workshop in Maputo in June 2009 where a network of almost 200 rural electrification practitioners from SSA was created. Our goal is to launch a social networking website where we can post different announcements and documents (including the proceedings of and presentations from the AEI workshop in Maputo), generate debates on follow-up papers, and give members the opportunity to share information/standard documents.

The consultant should be available immediately. The website needs to be live in September. Please direct all inquiries to Raluca Golumbeanu at ralucag@hotmail.com.
