Introduction
Pact is an international NGO with offices throughout the world with a mission to enable systematic solutions that allow those who are poor and marginalized to earn a dignified living, be healthy and take part in the benefits that nature provides. Pact accomplishes this by strengthening local capacity, forging effective governance systems and transforming markets into a force for development. A nonprofit international development organization founded in 1971, Pact works on the ground in more than 30 countries to improve the lives of those who are poor and marginalized.
Since 2008, Pact has been implementing USAID’s civil society programs in Ukraine, including the USAID/ENGAGE activity, which was launched in October 2016 (www.facebook.com/usaidengage, https://engage.org.ua/).
With this RFQ, Pact is seeking to contract two visual editing and design services providers for the period of August 1, 2021-July 31, 2022 (with the possibility of extension).

- preparing relevant graphic illustrations for publications including printed forms (handbooks, 2-pagers, memos, articles, press releases, etc.) and online (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn posts, interviews, newsletters, web-site visuals, etc.);
- ensuring that all visibility actions are carried out in line with the ENGAGE communication strategy and USAID visibility guidelines and requirements.
The above list is not exhaustive. Pact reserves the right to request deliverables not explicitly mentioned in the above list of expected services but related to the field of expertise of the vendors.
Required Qualifications:
