The UN Secretariat has issued a tender for a company to supply digital totems for the visitor center at Africa Hall, the UNECA headquarters site in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The requirement concerns the visitor-facing installation at that location, and the chosen supplier would contract with the UN Secretariat.

No contract length, budget range or evaluation criteria appear, and there are no instructions on how a company expresses interest or what a submission must contain. A supplier of display hardware, digital signage or visitor attraction fit-out may find the notice relevant, but should obtain the full tender documents before deciding whether to pursue it.
