I. Background
ActionAid Ethiopia is a Gender Justice, Good Governance, and Poverty Eradication organization working to achieve gender equality and poverty eradication. In Ethiopia ActionAid works to challenge various forms of power and build capacities to create people agencies of critical mass of communities especially Women and Girls living in poverty and exclusion to fulfil their rights, ensure redistribution of resources and build their resilience. We prioritize to work with Women, Girls and Young People and their organizations, networks, civil society organizations, national and local government, and other allies to overcome gender injustice and structural causes of poverty. We engage at national level policy works to influencing the agendas of women, girls and the youth to tackle gender injustice.
And we connect our work from communities to national and international level by leading and actively engaging in policy agenda for greater contribution towards a just, equitable and sustainable life of communities. Guided by feminist lens and human rights-based principles and approaches, we seek to shift power, through empowerment, solidarity, policy influencing and the generation of alternatives to ensure that women and girls can enjoy a life of dignity and freedom from poverty.
Since its entry to Ethiopia in 1989, ActionAid Ethiopia has been working in different locations where women and girls lead their lives under difficult social and economic situations. Its working philosophy has enabled ActionAid to put tangible impact on the lives of these women, young girls, children, and communities it worked with.
Since the emergence of COVID 19 pandemic, ActionAid Ethiopia, with its collaborators and partners, has been contributing its level best effort in supporting communities, especially, women, girls, and young people prevent themselves from getting infected by the virus and cope with the aftermath effects of the pandemic on their lives.
As part of its effort in this regard, our organization commissioned a girls’ led research on the impacts of COVID 19 on girls lives. The research was done in selected sub cities in Addis Ababa. Based on the findings of the study, and the feedbacks from the girls, we are now preparing for implementing a Girls Led Action with the support from AAUK. One of the actions under this project is to advocate the research findings and produce a powerful video animation that shows how girls can protect themselves from VAWGs and how they can report incidences and get the support they need. The production will then be used to raise awareness of girls as well as the wider community via different media platforms including the social media.
Therefore, AAE is looking for a company/organization to produce a one-minute animated video (that can be transmitted both as audio-video and audio only) based on the research finding and the girls input who have conducted the research. This TOR is, therefore, a call for a locally and legally registered film producing or advertising company in Ethiopia to produce a short, animated video on the above stated agenda.
II. Objective – The animated video is aimed at:
Informing girls and the wider community on how to be protected from GBVs; report incidences and get the necessary support they need across the referral pathway.
