Call for proposals – Animated short film (Protect Aid Workers)

Protect Aid Workers is looking to commission a two-minute short film.

Protect Aid Workers is a new initiative, established in 2024. It supports humanitarian staff who experience critical incidents in the line of duty by providing rapid grants up to €10,000 to aid their recovery. These funds might be used to pay medical bills, legal fees, or to cover a loss of salary if they are no longer able to work.

Protect Aid Workers is led by a group of NGOs, including GISF. The tendering process for this project is being supported by GISF.

The goal of this consultancy is to produce a two-minute animated film that explains the situation for aid workers, how Protect Aid Workers is responding, and how viewers can apply to the mechanism. The film should demonstrate these issues in an engaging way for a wide range of audiences, including those less familiar with humanitarianism.
