Introduction
The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) is a leading international research institution based in Nairobi, Kenya. APHRC conducts policy-relevant research on population, health, education, urbanization, and related development issues in Sub-Saharan Africa.
APHRC aims to develop a comprehensive communications and engagement strategy for the Wellcome Trust Data Science Without Borders (DSWB) project (henceforth referred to as “DSWB”) where APHRC is leading implementation. In this call for Expressions of Interest (EOIs), APHRC seeks a public relations (PR) agency to create and implement this strategy. The DSWB project is a collaborative effort involving several partners, including the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (ACDC), the Armauer Hansen Institute (AHRI) in Ethiopia, the Duala General Hospital (DGH) in Cameroon, the Institute for Health Research Epidemiologic and Training (IRESSEF) in Senegal, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), CODATA, and the Alan Turing Institute in the UK.
The project aims to enhance data science capacity in Cameroon, Ethiopia, and Senegal through advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence tools, and capacity building in machine learning. The goal is to improve health outcomes by bridging gaps in data accessibility, infrastructure, and expertise across these countries.
Key deliverables for the communications strategy will include supporting and amplifying the project’s objectives, enhancing project visibility, stakeholder mapping and engagement, and raising awareness of data science to attract a broad range of participants, partners, and stakeholders. Measures aimed at overcoming challenges such as reaching diverse audiences and stakeholders across different regions and creating relevant communication tactics for varied geographical locations will be critical.
APHRC is looking for a PR agency to help raise awareness of DSWB activities, attract partners and participants, and create strategic communications. The selected agency will work closely with the APHRC project team to implement the strategy effectively across the continent.
