Tenders are invited for Protect Aid Workers Short Film - Protection Mechanism for Aid Workers. Closing Date: 31 Jan 2025 Type: Consultancy Every day, thousands of humanitarian workers risk their lives helping people in conflict and disaster zones. At times, unfortunately, they become victims themselves. They may be attacked, threatened, detained, kidnapped, or even killed. Protect Aid Workers is a new mechanism, established in 2024, which supports humanitarian staff who experience these critical incidents in the line of duty. Protect Aid Workers supports them by providing rapid grants up to 10,000 to aid their recovery. These funds might be used to pay medical bills, legal fees, or to cover a loss of salary if they are no longer able to work. In addition, Protect Aid Workers also provides legal aid. Protect Aid Workers is led by a consortium of NGOs, including Action Contre la Faim (ACF), Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) and the Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF). Protect Aid Workers is funded by European Union Humanitarian Aid. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPECTED SERVICE Overall scope of work expected from the Consultant: Overall Goal: The goal of this consultancy is to produce a two-minute animated film that explains the situation for aid workers, how Protect Aid Workers is responding, and how viewers can apply to the mechanism. The film should demonstrate these issues in an engaging way for a wide range of audiences, including those less familiar with humanitarianism. The film should avoid specific details that might go out of date. This includes specific information on the current context (such as the number of aid worker fatalities in 2024), the size of grants offered by Protect Aid Workers (currently 10,000, but may increase in the future), and more. It is also worth noting that Protect Aid Workers is currently in discussion about merging with another organisation. Therefore, its branding may change in the future. So, the project proposal should include some consideration of how the video could be easily adapted to incorporate new branding. The aim of this film is to: Highlight that aid workers face significant risks in their daily work. Explain that, despite the risks, aid workers are not always covered by insurance and duty of care policies. This is especially the case among local NGOs. Detail the Protect Aid Workers mechanism and how it addresses these issues. Provide some information on who is eligible to apply to Protect Aid Workers for support and how they can do this. Film Content Overview: Target Audience : The film is primarily aimed at those working in the humanitarian sector. However, the film should not be too technical and should be accessible for a wide audience. The film will not only be distributed online, but will also be used for in-person presentations at conferences, expos, and more. Approximate length: 2 minutes Languages: The first version of the film should be produced in English. This may include a voiceover narration as well as subtitles for ease of understanding. Once the English version is finalised, additional versions in French and Arabic would be produced. The consortium has access to translation services, so the consultant does not need to translate the wording themselves. But they should be comfortable working in other languages. For instance, this might include understanding that Arabic characters should flow right to left for subtitling, and being comfortable synchronising foreign voiceovers with animated sequences.
