| Overview : The objective of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to select and identify vendors to provide video production services for the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) in various locations where the organization has/had activities, programmes or interest in developing future work. By identifying success stories, the service provider will be called to produce documentary style videos aimed at raising the visibility of UNCDF. Videos will shed light into UNCDF’s work, through the prism of the beneficiaries, its partners and stakeholders, the results achieved to create a consistent and unique style that can bear a clear message: UNCDF makes public and private finance work for the poor in the world’s 47 least developed countries (LDCs). The films will include graphics and narration with a similar quality to previous UNCDF’s videos. The pace and style will be aimed primarily at donors and their constituents, but with the intent of being widely shared through social media platforms and beyond the target audience. The footage will draw from footage already produced. The films will include interviews with beneficiaries, programme managers, experts and officials from institutions that work with UNCDF, such as the UN Development Programme, and financial institutions, participating governments or major donor partners. The films will require travel to some of these least developed countries: Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, DRC, Ethiopia, Guinea, Lao PDR, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Tanzania, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu and Zambia.
