Objective
Based on the above rationale, the PD project, in collaboration with the DFA and the Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Unit at MOSA, aims at supporting the production of a series of TV spots that shall address different aspects and issues with relation to Elderly rights.
Within this context, the PD project is seeking services of a production house to produce the first TV Spot in this series. The main objective expected from this spot is to emphasize on the diversity and richness that come with Ageing as a result of a lifetime contribution, strength and resourcefulness; and to stress therefore on their right in actively participating in the society as a whole.

Key Message and Target Audience
In light of the above mentioned objective, the TV spot shall communicate the spirit stated in the following key message: “Older persons are not a burden on society or a dysfunctional part of it. They are rather strong, vital contributor in the life, and we can rely on them”. It is worth mentioning that this message was set through a rapid participatory approach whereby various relevant stakeholders (MOSA, Elderly institutions, experts in the field of Ageing, researchers, services providers, UNFPA...) were consulted to identify a key priority for this first TV spot.
While the TV Spot will reach the population at large, yet it aims at targeting specifically older persons’ caregivers and fellows being family members or service providers.

Scope of the work
The consultancy firm will be jointly identified by MOSA and UNFPA on basis of agreed upon criteria for selection, and contracted by MOSA. It is expected to undertake the following duties, noting that approval of concerned parties (UNFPA and MOSA) is required before moving from one step to another:

- Review relevant information that shall be provided by the PD Project.
- Participate in consultation meetings with concerned parties (PD project, UNFPA, IEC Unit and DFA) during the whole implementation process. During these consultation meetings, assess preferences for the final re-worded key message, and scope and nature of the story board.
- Develop the creative storyboard, in line with consultations with concerned parties, for a 35-40 seconds TV Spot which should clearly summarize the key message.
- Develop the concept and the script. In case celebrities are to be starred in the film, the company shall be responsible for guiding them and supervising the shooting. The PD project in collaboration with the IEC Unit at MOSA shall facilitate the contacts.
- Propose shooting scenarios and locations including details about the related logistics, shootings and authorizations.
- Design, develop and produce the first version of the TV spot.
- Test the draft of TV spot with selected audience (including representatives from older people, MOSA, UNFPA, researchers, service providers, etc…) before publishing the ad.
- Finalize the TV spot based on feedback received during the piloted phase.

Deliverables
The expected outcome of this assignment will consist of delivering a TV Spot, on DVD (5 copies) and HD Video File (10 copies) with the following special features:
- Accurate, reliable, and highly professional output (Full HD).
- Original and creative concept that has not been published nor duplicated before.
- The film length should be between 35 and 40 seconds.
