Awareness Campaigns

Barbados has requested financing from the Inter-American Development Bank for the Barbados Climate Resilient South Coast Water Reclamation Project and plans to use part of the proceeds to finance this consultancy. The operation is BA-L1063 and the loan agreement is 5908/OC-BA.

The Barbados Water Authority (BWA) invites eligible consulting firms to submit expressions of interest to develop awareness campaigns aimed at promoting responsible water use and conservation among households, businesses, institutions, and other users.

The services include the assessment of stakeholders' knowledge, attitudes, perceptions and barriers to behaviour change; the development of a communication strategy, an implementation plan and messages adapted to priority audiences; and the execution of inclusive awareness-raising and participation activities. It also includes the management of comments and complaints through the established mechanism (GRM), the measurement of the scope and impact of the campaigns and the strengthening of BWA's capacities in public education.

Firms must demonstrate at least ten years of experience in strategic communication, public awareness, behaviour change or stakeholder engagement; have completed at least three comparable projects during the last seven years; and have experience in at least one project related to water, sanitation, environmental sustainability, public health, climate resilience or comparable infrastructure.

The selection will be made in accordance with the IDB's consulting policies. Partnerships and sub-consultancies are allowed to strengthen qualifications, and the shortlist will include between five and eight eligible firms.
