Key activities
Under the overall guidance of the ILO Better Regional Migration Management Chief Technical Advisor, National Project Coordinator, the technical officer of the ILO Social Finance Programme and the international consultant recruited for the adaptation of the ILO Financial Education trainee’s booklet, the consultant will undertake the following activities:
Lay out the ILO Financial Education trainee’s booklet for returnees and potential migrants in Kenya in English and Swahili (each around 200 pages).
Adapt illustrations or imagery as required to the Kenyan context by the ILO BRMM project team and the ILO Social Finance Programme. This can include images of fake brochures to be adapted to the local context and target group, based on the recommendations and inputs from the ILO.
For these activities to be successfully delivered, the consultant will need to follow the recently developed ILO Financial Education training materials’ template, including the branding of the ILO Global Programme on Financial Education and the 2020 ILO Branding.
Apart from the above-mentioned illustrations required to be adapted by the designer, the ILO will provide the training materials’ InDesign template, alongside all texts and illustrations to be needed in the layout.

Moreover, following the translation of the English manual to Swahili, the national consultant will be required to work on and deliver the laid-out version of the ILO Financial Education trainee’s booklet for returnees and potential migrants in Kenya in Swahili (around 200 pages), following the template designed for the English version and also the one provided by the ILO, and including all the illustrations produced by the illustrator and the ones directly adapted by the designer.
These outputs will be required in a high-resolution PDF version and in a lower resolution web version.
