UNDP operates in more than 170 countries and territories around the world. UNDP offers global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations that can withstand crisis, and that drive and sustain growth that improves the quality of life for everyone.

In Botswana, the role of UNDP is shaped by the status of the country as an upper middle-income country. UNDP has been collaborating with the Government, civil society and the private sector to develop solutions to meet national and global development challenges. UNDP Botswana has active projects in the following areas;

-Economic Diversifaction and Inclusive Growth

-Environment and Climate Change

-Support to the fulfilment of human rights, access to justice and empowerment of youth and women 

In pursuit to these project objectives, UNDP organises from time to time various events such as stakeholders consultation, workshops and/or capacity building sessions with participation of national conterparts, donors, CSO and other international organisations. In the spirit of leaving no one behind and ensuring inclusion, UNDP requires professional service providers for  interpretation, translation for the languages stipulated (in the detailed TORs) for effective communication. Specific services required are translation and/or editing of documents from one language to the other (languages required provided in the detailed TORs) for a range of documents, regulations, guidelines, manuals, press releases, workshops, policies, strategies,templates, subtitiles and training materials.

 In light of the above, UNDP seeks to engage on a Long Term Agreement basis, a number of Individual Consultants to assist with translation services to and from languages specified in the TORs
