Professional Services and Management of the Our World Irish Aid Awards 2012-2013

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade/An Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Trádála

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, through Irish Aid, supports a range of outreach and development education initiatives at primary school level. In this context, Irish Aid now wishes to invite tenders for professional services and management of the Our World Irish Aid Awards 2012-2013.
Background.
The Irish Aid programme has as its absolute priority the reduction of poverty, inequality and exclusion in developing countries. Its geographic focus is in sub-Saharan Africa, and the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provide a framework for its work.
In working towards one of its key objectives “to deepen Irish public understanding of global development issues and engagement with Irish Aid”, Irish Aid recognises the importance of the primary education sector as a target audience.
In this context, the Our World Irish Aid Awards were established in 2005 to promote awareness of and engagement with development issues in primary schools; to promote understanding of and support for the Millennium Development Goals, and to foster an interest in the Irish Aid programme among primary pupils.
In this context, Irish Aid now seeks the services of a specialist external service provider to provide professional and management services for the Our World Awards for a one year period coinciding with the school year August 2012–July 2013.
