General information: The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) has since 1998 run a website ( www.comesa.int). The web site was initially composed of static pages with a rigid structure which was very difficult to update. In 2003 a new web site was developed underpinned by a Content Management System and translated into French. The Content Management System (ZOPE/PLONE) was to serve the following:
• Provide access to officers to be able to update their information to the web site;
• Give content a fixed lifespan on the website by setting a date for which the data would expire;
• Allow for Directors to approve information before it is published to the website.
The COMESA web site is used mainly for dissemination of information about programmes, projects and activities of the organisation and also for advocacy in promoting the image of the organisation. In order to effectively and efficiently achieve these two objectives, the COMESA Secretariat requires the services of a web development team to develop and rollout a more dynamic web site.
Objectives of the Assignment: The objective of the assignment is to establish a world-class database driven and interactive dynamic web site, which will promote the image of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), and enable the organisation to efficiently disseminate information.
Scope of the Assignment: The assignment will include the design, the development and the implementation of a database driven and interactive web site at the COMESA Secretariat.
