The implementation of these interventions generates a significant volume of data, results and information that can be further leveraged through visual and accessible formats. There is therefore a need to strengthen the tools and materials used to present this information in a clear, engaging manner adapted to the various communication channels, while highlighting IOM's results and the partnerships that support its work.

The scope of the consultancy will therefore cover the design, development and adaptation of visual and animated content, in collaboration with the relevant IOM teams and in line with IOM guidelines and the visibility requirements of its partners. The overall objective of the consultancy is to design and produce a coherent set of data visualization materials and graphic and animated content that make migration data, results and achievements of IOM's interventions in Djibouti more accessible, clear and engaging for different audiences, and to strengthen their promotion within the communication and visibility activities of the Organization and its partners. 2- Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing: The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Media and Communications Officer of IOM Djibouti, in close coordination with the project teams and the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) team and, where relevant, the IOM Regional Office in Nairobi.
