The United Nations Development Programme wants a strategic communications partner to develop a push that "captures the stories" of its effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in west and central Africa.

COVID-19 killed and infected millions of people living in the UN's 24-nation west and central African region.

"UNDP personnel serving in the region have not been spared the same fate," according to the RFP. "While the hope is that the worst is over, this is an opportunity to capture and tell deep stories of how UNDP personnel have pushed through the pandemic."

The PR firm will conduct remote interviews with UNDP personnel and create "an emotive and engaging digital media campaign" that is adaptable to other platforms.

For the "UNDP through COVID" PR push, the firm will handle messaging, communications channel management, media outreach, podcasts, short documentaries and teaser videos.

The firm will work from its home base and create a campaign in English and French.

Proposals are due Nov. 18 at [email protected].
