The United Nations' campaign to fight HIV/AIDS has released an RFP for PR and communications support with plans to hire up to six firms.
The UN Programme on HIV/AIDS, known as UNAIDS, wants pitches for English-language assignments in media strategy, press releases, advocacy campaigns, country visit briefings and similar assignments.
Ogilvy PR has worked with the organization for several years.
UNAIDS in July asked for expressions of interest from PR firms, anticipating release of the RFP this month, but firms are not precluded from participating if they didn't respond to that request.
While the organization is based in Geneva, its PR contractors can work remotely through email, Skype or phone.
Proposals are due Sept. 16. View the RFP (link).
