Strong English written language skills;
French and/ or Portuguese language skills desired
Location: Remote
Period of Performance: Part time over 3-4 month period, specifics to be determined based upon the agreed scope of the assignment.
Compensation: Commensurate with experience and qualifications
To Apply: Develop an assessment proposal (2-4 pages) including proposed methodology and approach and associated number of days required to complete assignment. Please apply to the posting by clicking on this link:
