RFQ: EpiC Landing Page Support

REQUEST FOR QUOTATION (RFQ):  

Background

FHI 360 is a non-profit human development organization dedicated to improving lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions. Our staff includes experts in health, education, nutrition, environment, economic development, civil society, gender, youth, research, and technology; creating a unique mix of capabilities to address today's interrelated development challenges. FHI 360 serves more than 60 countries, all 50 U.S. states and all U.S. territories. The Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) project is a five-year, global project funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). EpiC Vietnam’s goal is to deliver efficient, affordable, results-based technical assistance and direct services while closing remaining gaps in Vietnam’s efforts to meet HIV epidemic control targets and address the COVID-19 pandemic.

To provide knowledge resources in various technical areas, EpiC is having two landing pages that functions as WordPress-based learning websites. These two websites aims to equip learners from all over Vietnam with updated information and knowledge related to HIV epidemic (Knowledge Hub at https://hub.skconnect.org/ [3]), as well as bringing open-sourced courses related to HIV control, addressing COVID-19 needs, and combatting trafficking in person (eLearning at https://edu.skconnect.org/ [4]). Due to unforeseen circumstances, these two websites are currently closed.
