African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is an international conservation organization formed in 1961. Together with the people of Africa, AWF works to ensure that the wildlife and wild lands of Africa will endure forever. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, AWF has field offices in nine African countries: (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, and Rwanda) and is registered in the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland and South Africa.
The AWF Strategic Communications has been actively monitoring the digital space for AWF media mentions and conservation and wildlife stories around the world that relate with the work that we do. In the last decade, it is important to note that there has been a great revolution in both the digital and print spaces in Africa. Media monitoring is an important tool for AWF to not only track the mentions, but also to monitor the progress reports on contemporary issues that affect conservation globally.
One of the core pillars of the Strategic Communications Team is media engagement. Therefore, it is important to know who is talking about issues of concern to AWF to plan on who to engage and when. The platform will also act as a preemptive database where the team can choose what to react to.
AWF is therefore soliciting bids for a media monitoring service. This contract will support AWF’s mission by providing real-time international media monitoring and access to comprehensive global press lists. The successful vendor will work closely with AWF’s Senior Executive Communications Specialist and the Communications Assistant and the overall guidance of the Strategic Communications Director to provide the services described below.
