Notice Description
WFD is issuing this Invitation to Tender ("ITT") to a range of potential suppliers of goods and/or services and would welcome a bid from your organisation. In order to strengthen the democratic resilience of Taiwan, there is an urgent need to address the impact that information operations and disinformation have on Taiwan's society and its electoral integrity. The authoritarian information tactics used across the Asia-Pacific region share similarities and aim to inhibit people's right to form independent opinions that are free of manipulative interference, as well as to make free choices during elections. WFD therefore seeks to strengthen partnerships among stakeholders to facilitate knowledge exchanges about these information operation tactics, to enhance best practices countering electoral disinformation, and to build capacities in order to strengthen democratic actors' abilities to investigate information and counter them effectively. Objective The objective of this service aims to strengthen the democratic resilience of Taiwan by addressing the impact that information operations and disinformation have on Taiwanese society and its electoral integrity.

The report needs to compile the experiences of invited organizations and speakers, as well as the reflections of participants from the training workshops. The post-event report will be conducted in English. Timeline The timeframe below lists the key tentative dates for the preparation process. These will be agreed with the service provider once secured. Activity Date Deadline for applications - August 31st, 2022 Interviews with shortlisted applicants - September 1st, 2022 Submission of workplan, including methodology - September 5th, 2022 WFD feedback on the workplan - September 6th, 2022 Project Execution - September 8th, 2022 Follow-up activities - October 2022 to March 2023 Submission of post-event report - March 15th, 2023 Reporting * Mid-term report upon completion of 2 roundtables and 2 capacity building training workshops * 1 post-event report detailing the strategies and best practices to countering information operations during election.
