  • Consultancy – PSEA Animation Production Consultancy – 3D Animation Production

    Consultancy – PSEA Animation Production Consultancy – 3D Animation Production

    FilmAid Kenya is seeking the services of an animator to produce child & adolescent friendly animated film on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA). There are limited films that address children and their protection from exploitation in the project areas. The primary concerns facing children in Kakuma refugee complex and Dadaab refugee camp are sexual and gender-based violence, physical abuse and exploitation, children living without parental care as a result of separation, and neglect/abandonment of children where parents and caregivers opt to return to Somalia spontaneously. Lack of basic needs also leads to exposure to child protection violations, including engagement in the worst forms of child labor to sustain their livelihoods.

    Significant causes of protection concerns, among other things affecting children, are:

    Corporal punishment,
    Harassment of and discrimination against children with disabilities and special needs
    Discrimination of children from Minority communities
    Children being denied fundamental rights such as education or healthcare.
    Forced marriage of children
    Sexual assault, exploitation, and abuse

    The consultant must appreciate that though there are mechanisms to protect children from sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), not all child protection violations are reported due to a lack of information and fear of stigmatization. FilmAid Kenya will therefore build the knowledge and skills in life skills for children (5 to 17years) in Dadaab, Kakuma refugee camps, and Kalobeyei by producing a child-friendly animated film. The film will portray, among other things:

    Identify the risk facing children.
    Provide clear information to mitigate this risk.
    Identify where children can assess protection services from government, UNHCR, and other child protection organizations operating in Dadaab, Kakuma, and Kalobeyei.
    Show how children, parents, leaders, and other stakeholders contribute to reducing exploitation and the effect of vulnerabilities of children.

    Specific tasks of the consultancy:

    FilmAid Kenya seeks to engage the consultant in creating an interactive 2D animation that aims to help children identify the forms of child abuse in the context areas, allow children to access child-friendly services, including legal aid and complaint mechanisms both local and national. The consultant will be engaged for 10 days beginning immediately:
    Create a Storyboard: Develop a storyboard that visually represents the content and flow of the animation, capturing the essence of the ‘Usalama Guide.’

    Animation Creation:

    Produce an animated video based on the approved storyboard, ensuring clarity and engagement.
    Provide options for animation in English, Kiswahili, Somali, Juba Arabic, Nuer, Dinka, and Turkana.

    Language Adaptation:

    Produce the animation in multiple languages to maximize accessibility and impact.

    Expected Outputs:

    A visually appealing and culturally sensitive animated video adopting the ‘Usalama Guide’ script.
    A storyboard illustrating the animation’s visual flow and key elements.
    The final animation produced in English, Kiswahili, Somali, Juba Arabic, Nuer, Dinka, and Turkana.
