About PARTISIPA

Australia is working in partnership with Timor-Leste, through the Partnership to Strengthen Village Development and Municipal Administration - known as PARTISIPA - to strengthen policies, systems and skills to improve the delivery of decentralised services and basic infrastructure across the country.

Building on Australia's long-term technical support to the Programa Nasional Dezenvolvimentu Suku (PNDS), we are working to strengthen local institutions, infrastructure, and service delivery at the subnational level (municipal, postu and Suku) with a focus on inclusive governance and community resilience. PARTISIPA integrates support for rural water with a focus on operations and maintenance and roads and road network management.

PARTISIPA mainstreams GEDSI across all components to ensure that government policies, planning and implementation processes continue to increase the visibility, voice, participation and agency of women, people with disabilities and other marginalised groups.

The Role

The objective of this assignment is to design, develop, and launch a lightweight, bilingual (Tetun-English) PARTISIPA website that serves as the program's central information hub. The website must support strategic communications, public diplomacy, promote flagship areas, advocacy campaigns, and long-term knowledge management for PARTISIPA and its partners.

The contractor will translate the approved scope into a functional, accessible, mobile first website that showcases PARTISIPA's impact, supports municipal level visibility, and provides a sustainable and functional platform for stories, documents, and campaign materials.
