Tender Details

UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child,

One of the objectives of the Country Programme of cooperation between UNICEF and the Government of Tajikistan for 2016-2020 is to unlock the potential of adolescents, by empowering them and involving them as drivers of development and advocates of inclusive, tolerant and peaceful societies. To achieve this result and develop evidence-based programming for adolescents in Tajikistan, UNICEF aims to provide opportunities and means for adolescents to contribute to the development of context relevant adolescent-friendly programmes, services and initiatives.

To produce a solid evidence base for adolescent programming, UNICEF Tajikistan in collaboration with Strategic Research Centre under the President of Tajikistan and survey company M-Vector conducted the first ever national study on Adolescents needs and interest. One of the study innovative and participatory components, developed by UNICEF in collaboration with the University of Huston was "Cinema" a foresight game to stimulate future thinking among adolescents in Tajikistan. While the actual game was aimed at stimulation of future thinking and other peacebuilding competences among adolescents, it also produced a set of qualitative data on adolescents perceptions of their future. A total of 92 games with 370 adolescent boys and girls were conducted in rural/urban; mountainous/low-land settings.

Herewith, UNICEF invites an international consultant with the relevant knowledge and experience to document the full process of the "Cinema" foresight game.
