IW PROJECT WEBSITE MADE EASY: FROM SET UP TO STAND OUT

11 Apr 2025
GEF IW: LEARN Communications Webinar

Is your GEF International Waters project website ready to showcase its achievements and engage with the rest of the world? Or perhaps you have already set up your online portal and would like to optimize it?

Whichever the case may be, join us on 23 April 2025 at 14:00 CEST for a webinar designed to provide you with the knowledge you need to successfully develop your project’s website. 

During the webinar we’ll focus on: 

  • IW:LEARN’s support: what IW:LEARN can do for you to help you set up your website
  • IW:LEARN compliance: the necessary requirements for your website to be compliant with the GEF IW:LEARN rules
  • Resources: new IW:LEARN Website Guidelines, including checklists, tools, guidelines and best practices designed to optimise the development of your website for increased outreach and impact.

Remember, the website is a compulsory feature of your IW project, and, if you do it right, it will help you cut out your space on the net. 

Agenda (Tentative):

  • Welcome & Introduction – Framing the need for strong digital presence - Konstantina Toli, Project Coordinator, IW:LEARN (5 min)
  • Why: Purpose of the Website Guidelines – Strategic goals behind the update – Francesca Monaco, Senior Communications Manager, IW:LEARN (5–10 min)
  • What: Key Requirements & Must-Haves – Walkthrough of mandatory compliance elements – Maria Camila Leon, Communications Manager, IW:LEARN (5-10 min)
