Production of the board game “Risk Péyi Matinik” Fok Nou Paré “Fok Nou Paré” project: “All prepared to face natural hazards”

Established in 2005, the Regional Intervention Platform for the Americas and the Caribbean (PIRAC) is the French Red Cross’s (CRF) representative office for the Caribbean region, based in Guadeloupe, as well as its operational arm for humanitarian action and regional cooperation. PIRAC provides assistance to communities in the Caribbean in the event of any major disaster and works to develop initiatives to strengthen the resilience of communities in French territories as well as in the countries of the Caribbean arc and the Guiana Shield.

Since 2019, PIRAC has been developing tools to raise awareness of natural hazards and appropriate behaviour in order to strengthen the risk culture in the French Antilles.

Since early 2026, a project called “Fok Nou Paré”, funded by the Directorate for the Environment, Planning and Housing (DEAL), has aimed to develop the population’s risk culture so that they are better prepared to respond to major risks and climate change by promoting appropriate behaviour through fun and participatory educational approaches.

a. Objective of the project

The objective of this project is to design two educational tools: a board game entitled ‘Risk Péyi Matinik’ and a paper fortune-telling doll, based on existing games developed in Guadeloupe.

These tools are intended to raise awareness amongst the target audiences of the main natural hazards present in Martinique, as well as the behaviours to adopt before, during and after a disaster, through a participatory, fun and educational approach that promotes learning through play, ensuring that younger audiences are engaged and that prevention messages are retained.

The service will be delivered as follows:

A scoping document will be drawn up by the service provider.

The deliverables are developed and shared with the PIRAC team.

(PDF) for approval by the PIRAC team and the technical partners, prior to formal approval.

The deliverables are approved by the PIRAC team and the partners.

The final phase of the project will consist of the delivery of the deliverables, comprising:

Meetings will be organised as often as necessary to monitor the progress of the project. These meetings will serve to answer any questions, facilitate the contractor’s work and adjust the creation of the deliverables in line with the recommendations of the contractor and the team. Finally, the contractor is asked to provide full details of how they intend to implement this methodology.

The aim of the project is to deliver the final deliverables by 24 September 2026.

To this end, a period of 8 weeks is allocated for the entire project.

The schedule for the handover of deliverables may be revised depending on the stages of development of the tools to be created by the contractor.

Please find below the skills and experience required of the contractor:

\- Skills in the creation of educational materials and science communication;

\- Knowledge of natural hazards, their causes, their impacts on society and protective measures;

\- Knowledge of the Martinique region, particularly with regard to natural hazards;

\- Skills in computer graphics, illustration and the production of visual materials;

\- Good writing skills;

\- Awareness of inclusive communication;

\- Ability to propose innovative tools combining different approaches and media;

\- Experience in international humanitarian organisations (NGOs/associations).

The tools, guides, visual designs and any other material produced during this assignment shall remain the property of the French Red Cross and may not be disseminated by the contractor without the prior consent of the French Red Cross.

The total estimated cost for this project is proposed by the contractor. It covers the costs associated with

adaptation, production, any testing phase and the delivery of the finalised tools.

The deadline for submitting applications is 29 July 2026 inclusive

Each service provider must submit an application by this date, comprising:

\- A technical note setting out the proposed methodology for carrying out the service, the implementation stages, the planned organisation and the projected timeline for the production of deliverables in line with the stages described in Section 6, Timetable, including a schedule for the delivery of the expected deliverables;

\- A presentation of experience or previous work on similar projects in the design of educational tools

\- A detailed quotation clearly setting out the costs of carrying out the assignment described above.

The contractor may attach to their application a list of similar projects carried out in the past to

demonstrate their expertise.

Reference documents will only be provided to the successful tenderer following the selection phase. The purpose of making these available is to enable the tenderer to draw on existing materials to facilitate the analysis, adaptation and structuring of the required content.

In particular, these documents will enable the successful contractor to gain a better understanding of:

They should therefore be used as working materials to guide the design of the new tools, whilst ensuring

they are adapted to the Martinican context.

A response will be sent to applicants on 30 July 2026.

Proposals must be sent by email, quoting reference PF278\_ABY\_ABY\_2026\_0081, by 29 July 2026 to:
