Request for Proposal

The Committee of Experts and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are seeking proposals from qualified and highly experienced firms to undertake production of vernacular radio and TV infomercials to drum up support for a new constitutional dispensation for Kenya.

Background

The Committee of Experts (CoE) on the Constitutional Review is an independent body established under the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act. (The Review Act).

The core function of the CoE is to analyze the existing draft constitutions, identify contentious issues, invite proposals from Kenyans on what they think their solutions are on those and prepare a harmonized draft constitution to be subjected to a national referendum.

In accordance with Section 6, 23 and 35 (1) of the Review Act, the CoE is mandated to ensure effective public participation in the review process in order to distribute consistent and effective messages on the constitutional review process.

In view of the above, the CoE will be undertaking a TV & Radio production encompassing the 42 tribes of Kenya aimed at demystifying constitutional review process issues and facilitate understanding, and public participation.

Towards that end, the CoE seeks to engage experienced, audio visual producers to script, film, and edit a 30 second TV & Radio infomercial in the 42 main tribes of Kenya supporting the review process in a concise and memorable way to drum up support for a new constitutional dispensation for Kenya.

Objectives

The overall objective is to produce and transmit a total of 16 infomercials (8 for TV and 8 for radio) to air on Kenya's major TV and radio stations during prime time to form part of an aggressive 30 - day campaign of popularizing and entrenching the harmonized draft constitution among all the communities in Kenya.
