1. LA PIRAC
Founded in 2005, the Regional Intervention Platform for the Americas and the Caribbean (PIRAC) is the French Red Cross’s (CRF) representative delegation for the Caribbean region, based in Guadeloupe, as well as its operational arm for humanitarian action and regional cooperation. PIRAC provides assistance to Caribbean communities in the event of disasters and works to develop initiatives that 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 about natural hazards and appropriate behaviors in order to strengthen a culture of risk awareness in the French Antilles. Since early 2026, the “Fok Nou Paré” project, funded by “Direction de l’Environnement, de l’Aménagement et du Logement” (DEAL) in Martinique, aims to foster a culture of risk awareness among the people of Martinique so that they are better prepared to respond to natural risks and climate change by promoting appropriate behaviors through fun and participatory educational approaches.
The board game “Risk Péyi Matinik” was designed as part of this initiative, based on an adaptation to the Martinican context of tools developed in Guadeloupe as part of the “Paré pa Paré” program. It addresses the territory’s natural hazards—earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, lahars, and climate change—as well as the actions to take before, during, and after a disaster. It is intended for the general public and is particularly suitable for children ages 7 and up, for use at awareness booths, educational activities, and public events organized by PIRAC and its partners in Martinique.
This board game includes a game board depicting a map of Martinique with pictograms representing natural hazards, as well as a set of question-and-answer cards, game pieces, and two dice. The objective of the game is to be the first to reach the “Finish” square by correctly answering as many questions as possible.
● General Objective
This request for proposals pertains exclusively to the printing, manufacturing, packaging, and delivery of the “Risk Péyi Matinik” game. The graphic design and educational design of the materials are not included in the scope of work: the finalized print files (high-definition PDF, 300 dpi, with source files) are available and will be provided to the selected contractor.
The service provider may not make any changes to the provided files without the prior written consent of the French Red Cross, with the exception of technical adjustments strictly necessary for printing (bleed, color profiles, imposition), which must be reported and approved.
● Specific Objectives
As part of the service, the contractor will be asked to design an educational board game titled “Risk Péyi Matinik,” based on the following elements:
Component Expected Characteristics Qty / unit

The service provider is asked to provide, for informational purposes only and without any obligation on the part of the French Red Cross, the price per batch for 50 copies of the standard version.
● Technical Considerations
• Printing based on files provided by the French Red Cross, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi, in strict compliance with the project’s formats, colors, and visual identity.
• Submission of a ready for print (ROP) along with the digital prototype.
• Materials and finishes that ensure safe and repeated handling in event settings, including by young audiences.
• Preservation of the integrity of the logos of the French Red Cross, PIRAC, and the institutional and technical partners featured on the materials.
• Packaging of the copies to ensure they can be stored and transported to Martinique under optimal conditions.
●Implementation timeline
The objective of the project is to deliver the final deliverables by December 28, 2026.
To this end, a timeframe of 4 weeks is allocated for the entire project.
The schedule for delivering the deliverables may be revised based on the stages of development of the tools to be created by the service provider.
Delivrables / Details/ Estimated dates
Inception report: File verification/preparation: file transfer Scoping meeting 1 to 3 days
Digital prototype: Ready for print / digital prototype 7 to 10 days
Board game and accessories: Printing 5 days
Board game and accessories : Cutting / creasing / finishing 5 days
Assembly and packaging 5 days

The service provider is invited to propose, based on this timeline, any changes it deems necessary for the smooth execution of the project. A detailed timeline outlining the delivery dates for the various deliverables is required. It will be discussed and approved during the kickoff meeting at the start of the project.

Organization of the mission
The project manager will be the main point of contact for this project. The DRR Programme Co-ordinator will be involved in the process of approving the final deliverables.
A scoping meeting will be organised between PIRAC and the contractor at the start of the assignment to confirm the details and timetable for the expected deliverables. This meeting may take place remotely or in person.
Regular exchanges between the contractor and PIRAC will enable the general content of the work to be validated on an ongoing basis. Preliminary versions of each deliverable will be submitted to PIRAC for comments and suggestions, which must be incorporated into the final versions of each deliverable. The time required for validation must be included in the timetable for review prior to the submission of the final version.
The tools, guides, visual designs, and any other materials produced during the course of this project shall be the property of the French Red Cross and may not be distributed by the contractor without the prior consent of the French Red Cross.
