Following the review and its findings, the consultant/s will draft a short report with recommendations to WILPF. In addition, the consultant/s will create the content for a chapter in our internal style guide on best practices for web, print, and digital communications, as well as conduct two virtual training sessions with WILPF staff members on best practices to make content accessible for all.
