c) Scope what new elements are needed to make the website interactive (e.g. videos, etc.), which includes carrying out consultations with internal UNV user groups – up to 20 individuals – on needs.

d) Scope the accessibility requirements to ensure the website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) at AA level, aligning with the United Nations Disability Strategy, including features such as screen reader compatibility and other essential accessibility functions.
