This joint initiative aims to boost contraceptive adoption, challenge existing social norms surrounding SRH care-seeking, and enhance STI prevention among adolescent girls, young women, and young men (AGYW/ABYM aged 15–24) across Nairobi and Nakuru. Central to our multimedia ecosystem, the TV drama series serves as a key driver for our behavior change communications. TUKI is returning for its second season to explore new environments, storylines, and character journeys. We are seeking an established production partner to produce an 8-episode drama series that builds on the first season's success. The series will guide our audience from initial awareness toward active engagement, encouraging informed decision-making regarding their health, education, and economic well-being. We require an experienced production house capable of managing the full end-to-end production of the youth-centered drama series, while continuing to genuinely reflect the lived experiences of young people in Kenya. Impact metrics from the inaugural season highlight the platform's effectiveness: - Expansive Audience Reach: TUKI? Season one and its supporting content connected with over 5 million young Kenyans, earning strong praise for authentic storytelling and engaging entertainment. - Positive Behavioral Outcomes: Evaluation data confirmed increased confidence in discussing SRH topics with partners, greater acceptance of contraceptive use, and deeper reflection on interpersonal gender dynamics. Audience Trust and Relevance: Follow-up participant surveys affirmed that youth regard the Tukisonga ecosystem as a highly credible, relatable, and educational source for SRH guidance. ### WHAT YOU WILL DO The production company would partner with Girl Effect to produce a branded youth-focused series rooted in and resonant with the realities that young people in Kenya face. The series must embody the spirit of the times, with a premise authentic to contemporary youth culture. The characters should be relatable, multi-layered, and complex. We follow them on a journey of self-discovery and change as they fail, forge friendships, find mentors and find mental resilience in their adulting journey. The characters will negotiate through our behaviour change framework, modeling positive journeys for our audience. The production workflow spans four distinct phases, adhering to international multi-platform drama standards and incorporating local Kenyan regulatory, language, and distribution requirements: ### Development Phase - Assembling the writers' room and securing an experienced head writer with proven expertise in youth drama and Social and Behavior Change (SBC) messaging. - Collaborate closely with GE-appointed Create, SBC, and safeguarding consultants throughout narrative development. - Finalize show Bible, character arcs, episode outlines, and obtain formal sign-offs. - Conduct pre-testing and focus group reviews of draft scripts to validate tone, authenticity, and SBC alignment. - Develop dual-track script adaptations concurrently for both TV broadcast and the accompanying radio drama series. - Establish master pre-production schedules, technical pipelines, and safeguarding protocols. ### Pre-Production Phase - Production Planning & Scheduling: Build comprehensive production master schedules, budgeting frameworks, and risk management strategies across TV and radio workflows. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
