The USAID Strengthening Advocacy and Civic Engagement (SACE) Project seeks a qualified firm to provide Edutainment Performance Services for the Project’s end of project ceremony.
SACE works with 17 policy clusters (groups of organizations, anchored by a project grantee), supporting them to influence reform that improves transparency, accountability, and good governance in Nigeria nationally, across a number of designated states, and also in the Niger Delta as a region. SACE has also worked with other groups, both civil society and government, outside the cluster model to influence an enabling environment for good governance and to meet the project’s key democratic reform goals.
In its fifth year of implementation, SACE will end on January 1, 2019. During this five years, the project has recorded numerous successes and experienced new learnings that have impacted the Nigerian governance landscape. The project intends to hold a Project Closeout Event to showcase these successes, share our learnings and experiences to be applied to future projects, and celebrate the SACE’s journey since early 2014. The ceremony will be a mixture of presentations, testimonials, videos, and appropriate performances that highlights and informs on SACE’s success in Nigeria’s development space.
The appropriate performance considered for the closeout ceremony is in the form of a dance/drama presentation that shows how partners, working in clusters, have been able to engage national, regional, and local governance processes and build capacities and promote citizen engagement in areas of transparency, accountability, and good governance in Nigeria. The dance/drama should include Nigerian cultural elements in explaining our work.
The project, through this method, hopes to build and share a vision of success which will inspire and catalyze memorable, sustainable civic action based upon our project and our achievements.
The project is therefore desirous of engaging a dance drama performance group to produce a short skit that highlights the project’s successes, lessons learned, and some key ecosystem achievements.
