full-time

Procurement Summary Item Details RFP Title TV Drama Production Partner for TUKI Season 2 Procurement Method Open competitive tender Eligible Applicants Qualified production companies, agencies Location Kenya Contract Period Approximately 6–8 months Anticipated Delivery Period December 2026 to July 2027 Reporting To Designated Create or Programme Lead Clarification Deadline 11 November 2026 Proposal Deadline 30 November 2026 Proposal Currency Kenyan shillings Submission Email suppliers@girleffect.org WHO WE ARE Girl Effect is an international non-profit that builds media girls want, trust, and need. From chatbots to chat shows and TV dramas to tech, our content helps young people, especially adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria, India, and South Africa to make empowering life choices and changes. We create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, and relationships, empowering girls with the skills to negotiate and redefine what they are told is possible for a girl. Our reach is 50 million and counting. We’re using technology to reach girls at scale so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, her health, her learning, and her livelihood. Because when a girl unlocks her power to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others to do so, too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, community, and country. That’s the Girl Effect. BACKGROUND Tukisonga is a Kenyan youth brand designed for young people aged 18–24. It uses an integrated multimedia ecosystem to deliver relevant social and behaviour change content. Its flagship television drama, TUKI?, explored how young people navigate economic empowerment, relationships and sexual and reproductive health. The first season was broadcast on television and distributed through YouTube, radio adaptations, community screenings and supporting digital content. TUKI Season 1 and the wider Tukisonga ecosystem reached more than five million young Kenyans. Audience research found that viewers considered the content entertaining, authentic, relevant and trustworthy. Evaluation findings also indicated increased confidence in discussing sexual and reproductive health, greater acceptance of contraception and increased reflection on gender roles within relationships. Girl Effect is now developing TUKI Season 2 as part of an expanded Tukisonga and WAZZII multimedia programme focused on adolescent girls, young women and young men aged 15–24 in Nairobi and Nakuru. OBJECTIVE Girl Effect is expanding the Tukisonga multimedia behavior change platform alongside WAZZII, our AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot. This joint initiative aims to boost contraceptive adoption, challenge existing social norms surrounding SRH care-seeking, and enhance STI prevention among adolescent girls, young women, and young men (AGYW/ABYM aged 15–24) across Nairobi and Nakuru. Central to our multimedia ecosystem, the TV drama series serves as a key driver for our behavior change communications. TUKI is returning for its second season to explore new environments, storylines, and character journeys. We are seeking an established production partner to produce an 8-episode drama series that builds on the first season's success. The series will guide our audience from initial awareness toward active engagement, encouraging informed decision-making regarding their health, education, and economic well-being. We require an experienced production house capable of managing the full end-to-end production of the youth-centered drama series, while continuing to genuinely reflect the lived experiences of young people in Kenya. Impact metrics from the inaugural season highlight the platform's effectiveness: Expansive Audience Reach: TUKI? Season one and its supporting content connected with over 5 million young Kenyans, earning strong praise for authentic storytelling and engaging entertainment. Positive Behavioral Outcomes: Evaluation data confirmed increased confidence in discussing SRH topics with partners, greater acceptance of contraceptive use, and deeper reflection on interpersonal gender dynamics. Audience Trust and Relevance: Follow-up participant surveys affirmed that youth regard the Tukisonga ecosystem as a highly credible, relatable, and educational source for SRH guidance. WHAT YOU WILL DO The production company would partner with Girl Effect to produce a branded youth-focused series rooted in 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.
