International Development Translation
NGO project reports, donor reports, World Bank and UN tender documents, impact assessments, and evaluation reports translated for the international development and humanitarian sectors.
Translation for International Development: Accountability and Access
International development organisations work across linguistic boundaries by definition. A World Bank-funded infrastructure project in Sub-Saharan Africa requires documentation in English, French, and Portuguese for donor accountability, Swahili or Hausa for community engagement, and the project country's official language for government reporting. Each audience requires a different register and level of technical detail.
BeTranslated provides translation for multilateral development banks (World Bank Group, EBRD, ADB), bilateral development agencies (GIZ, DFID/FCDO, AFD, USAID), international NGOs (Oxfam, MSF, Save the Children), and national development agencies. We have experience with the specific formats of project completion reports, logical framework matrices (LogFrame/RBM), theory of change documents, and evaluation terms of reference.
