Terms of Reference- Consultancy, producing a TV spot for the It’s about ability song
UNICEF Montenegro
1. Background and Context
The overall goal of Country Programme 2010-2011 is to support national efforts towards ensuring that children and women, particularly those who are in need of special protection, live in poverty and are socially excluded, enjoy and exercise their rights. Anchored in the principles of the Millennium Declaration, current reforms in the social sectors will be harnessed to create an enduring ‘ethos for children’ in Montenegro so that all girls and boys grow up healthy, educated, protected and able to develop to their full potential.
The country programme comprises two mutually reinforcing components: child protection and social inclusion; and child rights, policies and planning. These reflect the unique contribution the programme can make in supporting Government and institutions to complete the child care system reform agenda and implement the legal framework for children at the central and local levels; invest in inclusion and protection of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups; strengthen capacities in planning, child rights monitoring, and budgeting; create a framework for a sustainable legacy for child rights; and facilitate a child rights perspective in the application of Copenhagen Criteria for accession to the European Union.
Programme component “Child rights, policies and planning” aims to support to the implementation of the new legislative framework, as well as subsequent monitoring of the fulfilment of rights. The programme will continue to broaden the base of evidence on children through empirical child-centred research, and other forms of knowledge transfer, including access to good practices.
Raising awareness of people that children with disabilities have equal rights like others is a necessary precondition for proceeding with deinstitutionalization and the reform of the child and social welfare system. Discriminatory attitudes against children with disabilities need to be addressed in a convincing and effective way.
UNICEF has been working on achieving this goal through the massive awareness raising campaign on the rights of children with disabilities It’s about ability in 2010 and 2011.
One of the campaign activities in 2011 was related to the production of the It’s about ability song by the UNICEF National Goodwill Ambassador Rambo Amadeus. For the song to be launched effectively, it needs to also have a TV spot ready.
On December 3, anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, UNICEF will organize a special event to celebrate the rights of persons with disabilities. On this occasion, UNICEF will launch the song and the TV spot “It’s about ability”.
A mass media campaign in the short run and constant repetition of its key messages in the long run can have a strong impact. As a result, percentage of parents who are against inclusive education would decrease, as well as the percentage of people who discriminate against children with disabilities and think they should be isolated.
2. Purpose and Objective
The purpose of the consultancy is to provide technical assistance in preparing a dance with children with and without disabilities for the TV spot for the It’s about ability song and for the special event on December 3.
