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.

Scope of work

The service provider should implement following scope of work:

• To conduct exit interviews on day of election to assess voters exposure to disinformation

• To conduct public perception polling a month after election to assess impact of disinformation on electoral integrity

• To submit a report detailing the impact of information operation toward Taiwan's election integrity

Please refer to the Invitation to Tender document for further information on how to submit your bid.
