1. Brief Scope of Services:

UNAKRT seeks Expressions of Interest from vendors for the provision of Digital Services (media/communications)

2. Background:

The United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials (UNAKRT) provides technical assistance to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). The ECCC is a Cambodian judicial institution mandated to bring to trial senior leaders of Democratic Kampuchea and those who were most responsible for the crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge regime during the period from 17 April 1975 to 6 January 1979.

The Addendum to the Agreement between the United Nations and the Royal Government of Cambodia vests the ECCC with residual functions which shall commence upon the completion of judicial activities, projected for the end of 2022. As part of its residual mandate, the ECCC is required to disseminate information to the public regarding the Extraordinary Chambers.

 

The present EOI is issued to identify suitably qualified vendors with expertise and demonstrated experience in providing digital media/communications-type services within the Cambodian market. It is expected that the successful vendor will be able to provide media, communications, marketing and technological know-how (see part 3, below) to improve the ECCC’s engagement with stakeholders (including victims of the Khmer Rouge regime, Cambodian youth, and the general public both in Cambodia and abroad), disseminate information effectively, and communicate the ECCC’s legacy.
