4.3.6 Website services for the #FreetownTheTreeTown Campaign

The UN Secretary-General established the UN SDG Action Campaign to inspire people and organizations from all backgrounds and every part of the world to take actions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, while holding decision-makers to account for progress society-wide. The UN SDG Action Campaign is hosted and supported by UNDP and is based in Bonn (Germany) with a lean team that marshals rapid support for new initiatives as opportunities arise and provides partners with on-demand strategic creative services that inspire SDG action with an engaged community of activists and concerned individuals. 

The UN SDG Action Campaign is working closely with cities and local governments to showcase how they are actively contributing to implement Agenda 2030, accelerating transformative action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for all, and everywhere. The UN SDG Action Campaign, together with the office of UNDP in the Sierra Leone are supporting the Freetown City Council to implement the #FreetownTheTreeTown Campaign, one of the winners of the 2021 Global Mayors Challenge. 

The #FreetownTheTreeTown campaign is creating a website to share knowledge and information to communicate locally with residents and development partners in Freetown, and nationally with the central government, potential donors, private sector, the media and civil society. The website will promote the work of the #TreeTown campaign to plant and grow between 5 and 7 million trees by 2030 to advance the climate adaptation and mitigation goals in the Freetown Climate Action Plan. It will also contribute to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

UNDP seeks to contract the services of a provider to design the #FreetownTheTreeTown website, to develop and launch the initial contents and to provide the necessary training to the project team in Freetown.
