Ethiopian Academy of Sciences
Background: The Ethiopian Academy of Sciences is established with the objectives of advancing scientific knowledge in Ethiopia and providing evidence-based advice to the Government of Ethiopia on issues of national importance. One of the constraints in advancing scientific knowledge and evidence and in the formulation of evidence-based policies is the unavailability of information in a language that is accessible to policymakers, academia, the media community and the public at large. When it comes to population and development, a key limitation is the lack of consensus on local terminologies/ local lexicons (to be) used when discussing pertinent concepts in the field. To contribute to addressing this limitation, EAS in partnership with Population Reference Bureau, has produced Amharic – English glossary of terms and concepts in the disciplinary domain of population and development.   Scope of Work – Process of Review: The Amharic-English glossary contains about 1700 technical terminologies in population and development. The consultant will thoroughly review, proofread and edit the glossary to ensure that it is in line with the scope and suitable for the target of the glossary and as per the guideline that will be prepared by EAS. The reviewer will be expected to go through every terminology in the glossary. The review will be conducted in two rounds: First round: Reviewer will thoroughly review and edit glossaryGroup terminologies based on technicalness and relevanceReview definitions of terminologies for accuracy, clarity and conciseness.  Thoroughly review Amharic equivalent terms against each English terminology for accuracy of terms and definition and uniformity of usage across the glossary.  Second and final round: Consultant will participate in presenting at a consultative workshop which will be organized to draw further feedback from a wider range of stakeholder.Consultant will conduct a final review to make sure that edits, reviews and relevant comments from the workshop are incorporated in the glossary. Expected output/deliverables from the consultant would be: Thoroughly reviewed and edited glossary, in soft (in track changes) and hard copy, according to the scope of the glossary and the guidelines of review Second round review after team incorporates feedbackFinal version of the reviewed materials as per the agreed upon timeDuration of review: 3 weeks Required reviewers: 1 (One)
