Project context

IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD)

ICPALD is the IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development, a specialized institution working around pastoral areas, livestock development, drylands, research, policy and knowledge management in the IGAD region.

Before the revamp

The old website version no longer matched the level of institutional communication ICPALD needed. Important audiences had to understand departments, projects, resources, events, advisories and contact pathways without fighting a dated structure.

What changed

We revamped the website into a more modern institutional experience with clearer navigation, department and project pathways, resources, media, event/advisory areas, language access and stronger public contact routes.

Problem solved

The work started with a real communication gap

The main challenge was not only visual age. The website needed to carry institutional credibility, technical programme information and public updates in a way that felt organized, current and easier to maintain.

Outcome

A modern website foundation with clearer proof and action paths

The current website gives ICPALD a stronger digital front door. Visitors can understand the organization faster, move into departments and projects more easily, and see a more credible foundation for ongoing updates.

What the revamped website needed to support

These are the visible website capabilities and structural improvements that make the project useful as proof for similar redesigns.

Department and project pathways

Navigation supports ICPALD's institutional structure instead of flattening everything into generic pages.

Resources and media publishing

The site has clearer areas for publications, updates, media and knowledge material.

Events and advisories

Public events and advisory content can be surfaced for stakeholders who need current information.

Language and regional access cues

Language links and regional context help the site feel more useful to a wider institutional audience.

Work-with-us and contact paths

Stakeholders can move toward partnership, work-with-us and contact actions from the main navigation.

Modern responsive presentation

The site feels more current across screens, with stronger visual hierarchy and clearer page sections.

Delivery

How the revamp was shaped

The delivery path focused on turning an older website into a more modern, structured and useful public website without making unsupported performance claims.

Institutional content mapping

Separate departments, projects, public information and stakeholder journeys so visitors can find the right path faster.

Modern interface direction

Create a more credible visual presentation that matches an IGAD regional institution instead of an aging website shell.

Public information structure

Support resources, media, events, advisories, language access and contact actions inside a more organized site experience.

Launch-ready website foundation

Prepare the website for ongoing updates so institutional communication can continue after the redesign.
