Migration

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.

We helped long time GN clients on The Sylvia Pankhurst Memorial Committee's campaign for a statue to Sylvia to re-do their simple static website in a WordPress CMS. We supported them to move their archive of annual lectures and updates and revise the navigation and presentation of the campaign's content quickly and neatly in a new online home where it's easier to edit as well as to read. We relaunched the site in 2023 and are hoping that the statue will be unveiled this year.

We rebuilt WRM's trusty multilingual WordPress in a brand new Drupal 8. WRM wanted a clean design and improved ways to edit their content and run their website.

We consulted Wave for visual design and worked closely with WRM colleagues internationally using our private jitsi channel for regular meeting with GreenNet devs and project manager in Spain and UK.

The website is hosted on GreenNet's ethically managed and sustainably powered servers.

On 7 April 2021, World Health Day, we relaunched the UNESCO Health and Education Resource Centre, a knowledge sharing initiative provided by UNESCO for the education sector.

The library is a collection of more than 6,000 downloadable resources, evidence and research, policies and strategies, teaching and learning materials, and guidance and practical tools. It also presents news and webinars and updates about events from around the world. We implemented a faceted search that enables easy access to the library.

GreenNet responded to UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning's RFP to upgrade and rebrand their popular HIV Information Clearinghouse website with a proposal that included a custom redesign by wave.coop, and a full migration of the multilingual library contents from Drupal 7 to 8. We transferred their store of over 13,000 items of multilingual content using a staging site to connect with UNESCO’s server architecture.

The new HERC library is fully multilingual in 4 languages, it features a custom mobile responsive visual design created by Karen at wave, coded as a standards compliant Drupal theme by GreenNet developers.

We also worked with IIEP and wave on a neat supplementary microsite that sits alongside the HERC Library: UNESCO’s Comprehensive Sexuality Education Implementation Toolkit, using design and brand assets from the main site.

 

 

Caabu wanted to upgrade their main website from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8, the latest version with a full content migration of their extensive archives of news and campaigning materials into a new visual design.

We implemented Caabu's multilingual content in Arabic using Drupal's translation functions and a mobile responsive custom theme by Sarah macbeth that works both right-to-left and left-to-right.

 

We migrated the Germany Country Group of Peace Brigades International's website from it's old home on Typo3 CMS to a shiny new responsive Drupal 7.

We did a complete rethink of the design and templates and came up with a site that enables PBI to customise their homepage with their latest calls to action and automatically displays updated listings of news and activities

The new site reflects PBI's identity and demonstrates their impact by showcasing stories and images from their archives, and displays an interactive map to show PBI's global projects.
