We worked with UNESCO International Institute of Educational Planning (IIEP) to build a new online library housing a curated collection of resources for educational planners and decision-makers including tools, research reports, declarations, and programme evaluations. The library lists materials from a wide range of organisations including UNESCO and other UN agencies, NGOs, ministries, development agencies, universities, in a range of formats.

• We built the new library in Drupal, UNESCO's requirement, and created a custom visual design using UNESCO and IIEP visual identity. 
• The website is available in four languages (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese)
• The initial collection contains around 3,000 resources which were imported and mapped to a new structure from three different existing databases, we assisted IIEP to revise their info architecture and classifications, and to assign existing resources to the new scheme.
• We installed a custom filtered search, with search history and custom function to export a basket of selected results in a range of data formats, email or print, or to reference management software, as well as RSS feed and social sharing. 
• Analytics and GDPR compatible cookie management.

The library complies with IIEP IT technical guidelines, including in hosting, storage, staging, and deploying, and W3C standards of accessibility, performance, and quality. Its built-in  responsiveness provides an optimal user experience by presenting the simplest and most fluid navigation and accessibility experience possible for the greatest number of people. We worked with IIEP staff to create user roles for website editors, and custom tools to bulk import and curate data and taxonomies, and for data auditing and cleansing. The Library integrates with UNESCO IIEP web architecture and we collaborated with UNESCO technical staff to launch on the new library on UNESCO online systems in Summer 2025.  

PBI approached us to migrate the websites of their international network of Human Right Defenders almost 10 years ago, they adopted Drupal for their International Secretariat and most of their entities' websites on a GreenNet virtual server. We've built up a strong relationship as technical collaborators working with a range of FLOSS open source systems to support PBI's work.

In 2024 we relaunched PBI's online home with a Drupal upgrade that makes use of Multisite features to host sub-sites for PBI Country Groups and Field Projects within a single Drupal CMS, sharing architecture and visual design while enabling each PBI group to use their own domain name, and display location-specific information such as news, events and donations pages. The new website displays a responsive visual design created by Karen Beal, installed as a custom Drupal theme.

The site offers multilingual and translation tools so website visitors and editors can view sub-sites in multiple languages, depending on the location of the PBI entity and users' preferences. In the CMS back end we implemented clever content sharing and translation features that allow website editors in different locations to translate and syndicate content across their global network.

GreenNet worked with UNESCO's SDG4 secretariat to build and host the online community and knowledge hub for the UN TES in September 2022. We used Drupal Social to create a space for discussions and knowledge sharing, using Drupal taxonomy to cross reference data and resources on strategic development goals. The development took place iteratively before during and after the summit, presenting videos and streams from the event as well as practical information for participants

The websito uses online translation into 40 languages. The country map is integrated into the UN website at https://www.un.org/en/transforming-education-summit/national-consultationscomm

 

PPU host a unique archive which has been developed over many years.We worked closely with them to create a new online home for the organisation that uses Drupal to connect their well-established existing online presence, including the archives, shop, and their social media, while adding new functions using CivCRM to list events and gather online supporters.

Working closely with their team, we devised and created a visual design that updated PPU's online identity, taking into account their branding and existing web and print media. We built the website incrementally, prototyping as we went based on standard Drupal kit in order to keep development time and costs manageable.

This combination of free, open source software offers scope for further iterative development - PPU prioritised key functions and features, and plan a second phase to work on less urgent items, while retaining flexibility to deal with new unanticipated requirements should they arise.

The whole project was carefully planned to launch in good time for the white poppy season around remembrance day in November 2018.

We really like working with activists with a clear vision for an innovative and useful web project. We won this commission in 2017 and worked with the European Network on Statelessness and Wave.coop to create this informational tool using Drupal 7 with a custom graphical design.

ENS had a strong concept for the site - a comparison tool for rights and treatment of people without nationality in 12 European countries. The site has a simple and intuitive interface for users (no clickable maps or search) but presents detailed information and facilitates comparisons of many criteria, it displays ratings in an easy-to-read format, on an attractive, on-brand, mobile responsive visual design.

We completed the project in around 12 weeks, on budget, and launched to great acclaim (including a tweet from the EU Human Rights Commissioner), we enjoyed this partnership with ENS and Wave and are pleased to have implemented a neat project with a practical application. Previous web projects with refugee and migrant organisations include EIN and EDAL.

PBI asked us to help them share information on training opportunities across Mexico.

We display customised regional maps on an open source platform in Spanish, on PBI's mobile responsive Drupal 7 theme. .

We've worked with EWP for many years, and it was time to refresh their online presence. We helped them select a responsive theme on the latest version of Drupal, and tweaked it to display EWP's brand identity.

The site enables them to publish updates about their new campaigns and latest news through the Drupal dashboard.

We rebuilt their membership signup and listings functions with an interactive map customised to display regions where EWP members work.

We upgraded WES's trusty Drupal site to zingy responsive Drupal 8 with a new structure that shows off their amazing online resources and highlight WES member role models.

We worked with  designer Sarah Macbeth to create a custom visual theme in WES's distinctive livery.

Following out work for ActionAid's Right to Education Initiative on their main website we worked with them to create a practical tool for civil society to select and apply RTE’s indicators.

The site combines a complex custom built online research tool with a visually engaging set of interactive guidance notes, on a responsive Drupal 7.
