BACKGROUND The East African Community (EAC) Secretariat is implementing the EAC component of the Eastern Africa Regional Statistics Program-for-Results (EARSPforR), with financing from the World Bank. The Program seeks to strengthen the production, harmonization, dissemination, and use of quality economic and social statistics in Eastern Africa. Under EARSPforR, the EAC Secretariat has developed online learning materials in fourteen priority statistical domains for use by Partner State institutions and other data users. Although technically sound, many of the materials are text-heavy and rely on static presentations and manuals, which can limit learner engagement, accessibility, and understanding, particularly among non-specialist audiences. The Secretariat intends to engage a qualified consulting firm to develop new multimedia content where explanation gaps exist and to transform selected approved learning materials into concise animated videos. The videos will incorporate infographics, accurate data visualizations, professional voice-over narration, captions, and transcripts, and will be suitable for the EAC Learning Management System, websites, and mobile access. The assignment will be completed within a maximum of ten weeks from contract commencement. The principal deliverables will include an inception report and production plan; scripts, storyboards, and visual style; a pilot video; a complete draft video package; and final master, LMS/mobile, caption, transcript, thumbnail, editable-source-file, asset/licence, and completion-report packag
