1. PURPOSE OF THIS CONSULTANCY
The primary objective of procuring consultancy services is to facilitate greater engagement of Portuguese-speaking individuals with the content available on the SAF Website. At present, the site’s content is exclusively presented in English, which limits accessibility for Portuguese-speaking users. In light of this, the SAF Cluster has determined that it is essential to implement automatic translations for all website content, transitioning from English to Portuguese.
This initiative is part of the Oxfam SAF Cluster’s broader commitment to embody the core values of Oxfam, particularly regarding inclusivity and equal access to information. By ensuring that language barriers do not hinder access to vital resources and content, the consultancy aims to promote a more inclusive environment that respects and acknowledges the diverse backgrounds of all users, regardless of their nationality.
