TradeMark East Africa (TMEA) Consultancy Opportunity to Carry out Public Information, Education and Communications Programmes

Request for Expression of Interest
Creating greater awareness of East African integration

Our client TradeMark East Africa (TMEA) is a not-for-profit company which aims to lead and manage a programme of harmonised aid delivery in support of regional trade and economic integration across East Africa.

TMEA is funded by a group of development partners including UK (DFID), Denmark (DANIDA), and Belgium, and potentially also including the World Bank, the Netherlands and Canada (CIDA).

TMEA will provide a platform for delivering significant strategic support to the East African Community’s (EAC) regional integration process, including support to

EAC partner state Governments.

The Kenyan Ministry of the East African Community (MEAC) is responsible for coordinating the implementation of the East African Community Treaty in Kenya.

As part of that responsibility, MEAC is in the process of implementing a national sensitisation programme on EAC integration, in line with its recently-launched Communications Policy and Strategy.

MEAC now wishes to identify a communications firm, with knowledge and experience of regional integration, to partner with it in rolling out a national awareness campaign on the EAC integration process.

TMEA therefore wishes to invite interested firms or organisations to submit Expressions of Interest outlining their organisational profile, and their expertise and experience in carrying out public information, education and communications programmes.

Terms of reference can be accessed on  www.eastafrica.kpmg.com.

Submissions marked “Expression of Interest on EAC Awareness Creation” may be sent electronically in PDF file format to: E-mail: tmea @ kpmg.co.ke or to the address below by Monday, 12 April 2010 by 4.30pm East African Time.
