 Hiring Office:
 
 
 UNFPA Arab States Regional Office (ASRO) &mdash; Communications Unit
 
 
 Purpose of consultancy:
 
 
 The UNFPA Arab States Regional Office (ASRO) frequently produces digital and print publications requiring fast, high-quality, and brand-compliant visual design. The purpose of this consultancy is to establish non-binding Framework Agreements (Individual Retainer Contracts) with pre-vetted freelance graphic designers to provide high-quality graphic design, visual layout, and Desktop Publishing (DTP) services on an on-demand, as-needed basis across the Arab region. Engagement under this retainer framework enables the office to execute work orders via standardized design briefs without initiating new procurement cycles for individual assignments.
 
 
 Scope of work:
 
 
 
 (Description of services, activities, or outputs)
 
 
 
 When activated via an individual design brief, the retainer holder shall provide high-quality graphic design and layout services. The scope of work encompasses:
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Visual identity and brand alignment: Ensuring all creative assets flawlessly follow the UNFPA branding toolkit guidelines.
 </li>
 <li>
 Layout and creative concept development: Submitting three distinct initial cover and layout concept options for review based on the provided design brief.
 </li>
 <li>
 Iterative proof corrections: Executing progressive sub-rounds of text and design corrections in coordination with the communications and technical units until full layout integrity is achieved.
 </li>
 <li>
 Structuring and adjusting layouts to account for multilingual requirements: Ensuring correct right-to-left (RTL) formatting logic for Arabic text, and left-to-right (LTR) formatting logic for English and French text, including proper text-flow adjustments across bilingual or trilingual layouts.
 </li>
 <li>
 Digital accessibility compliance: Designing all digital products to meet international accessibility standards for persons with disabilities (WCAG 2.1 mapping). This includes embedding proper alternative text (alt-text) tags for images, charts, and maps provided by the technical unit, defining a logical document reading order for screen readers, ensuring high color contrast thresholds, and formatting tagged structural headings within the final PDF asset.

 Strict prohibition on raw AI asset generation and automated layouts
 
 
 
 The utilization of unedited artificial intelligence image generators, automated layout software, or raw machine-generated design elements (e.g., Midjourney, DALL-E, automated Canva layouts, or generic AI vector wrappers) to execute the required graphic design interventions is strictly prohibited. While professional layout software utilities, digital drawing applications, and standard design tools are necessary for technical and mechanical precision, the final output must completely reflect human analytical judgment, custom visual harmonization, and creative design polish. Submissions that display a reliance on generic templates, robotic visual generation loops, or superficial machine adjustments will be rejected as non-responsive, and final vendor payment will be frozen.
