What we are looking for

Girl Effect is looking for an experienced production house that will be responsible for the production, script writing, and post-production for one season of a drama series. This production house should have a creative and technical staff team to fulfill all our production needs. The production house/agency needs experience working on successful drama series productions in Kenya. It should be able to use existing best practices and tools for an efficient and effective production process. It is important to note that while the program's core objectives are geared towards messaging on thematic areas around reproductive health and women’s economic empowerment, the tone of the drama series needs to remain entertaining and engaging, in keeping with the brand's tonality.

Scope of Work

The production company would partner with Girl Effect to produce a branded youth-focused series rooted and resonant with the realities that young people in Kenya face. The series must embody the spirit of the times, with a premise authentic to contemporary youth culture. The characters should be relatable, multi-layered, and complex. We follow them on a journey of self-discovery and change as they fail, forge friendships, find mentors and find mental resilience in their adulting journey.

The characters will negotiate through our behaviour change framework, modeling positive journeys for our audience.

Three areas of work include but are not limited to: Development phase, Pre-production and Production Phase
