| Overview : COVID-19 has led to a global health and economic crisis, and similar to many countries, Nigeria is struggling to overcome the immediate and secondary challenges presented by the pandemic. The pandemic has aggravated critical challenges such as rising levels of inequality, ethnic tensions, and political violence. In response, the UNDP has partnered with the Federal Government of Nigeria to produce the Imagine Nigeria Report which assesses and provides insight into how the crises facing Nigeria also presents opportunities for Nigeria to build a more inclusive and resilient nation. The Imagine Nigeria Report is a foresight-oriented exercise that is neither a prediction of the future nor a national plan, rather it is an invitation to all Nigerians for a country-wide conversation on the future of the nation. The report explores the various major trends that will help to shape the future of Nigeria, offers alternative scenarios to further the country’s development and provides a series of actionable recommendations to ensure national transformation. The findings and recommendations in the report came to life through a participatory exercise involving over 300 stakeholders and experts, both nationally and internationally, which was guided by a High-Level panel made up of eminent stakeholders across government, private sector and civil society. Imagine Nigeria is now ready to be publicly released and the UNDP is preparing to launch the report through a series of weeklong high-level events involving a number of stakeholders across government, local partners, private sector, civil society organizations, the international community and more. It is in this context that the UNDP is seeking to procure professional services of a local media and communication firm to assist in the planning, execution and management of the Imagine Nigeria report launch and its related activities. Scope of Work and Deliverables UNDP Nigeria wishes to engage the services of one communication and media firm to support the Imagine Nigeria Report launch and its related activities.
