Job Description
The My Health, My Life (MHML) Activity, a USAID/Zimbabwe-supported initiative, aims to create a movement that breaks down message fatigue barriers around complex, intertwined health issues challenging adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Zimbabwe. This two-year activity will support AGYW in health behavior change by moving their world through a vibrant, multi-media reality. In partnership with USAID’s local implementing partners in Zimbabwe, the DKP Consortium (Kaizen, Impact(Ed) International (Formerly Discovery Learning Alliance), and Picture Impact (PI)) will design, produce, and distribute an ‘edu-tainment’ movie, interactive card game, and audience engagement strategy to promote social behavior change and support a healthy, vibrant future for Zimbabwe.
Duties and Responsibilities
The Designer’s primary responsibility is to design a film facilitation guide for the Shaina movie DVD using content supplied by the technical writer. The guide will help facilitators stimulate open conversation with AGYW and community members about sexual health issues, positive masculinity, and empowered decision-making. It may be required to include sections covering: Plot Summary and Main Characters, Purpose and Key Messages/Themes, Learning Objectives, Notes for Facilitators and Ideas to Stimulate Discussion.
The design must be visually appealing, easy to understand, and incorporate key themes and design elements from the film and its associated style guide/promotional material. Content will include appropriate images from the film and sponsorship material. The guide will be the size of a standard DVD insert and must be a minimum of 12 pages (not including front and back cover) and a maximum of 20 pages (not including front and back cover). The guide will be designed to be printed on double-sided glossy, color paper. The role will require excellent design skills for the creation of a visually pleasing facilitation guide. The Designer will be required to work with a Technical Writer that will direct the content of the film facilitation guide. The Designer will work closely with the DKP Consortium to develop design layout and graphics for the film facilitation guide.
