1. Background
The President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) REACH project is a global initiative funded by the U.S. Government
through PMI and implemented by a consortium of leading international organizations, including PATH (lead
agency), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Amref Health Africa, and Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD).
The project supports Sierra Leone’s National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) to accelerate progress
toward malaria elimination by strengthening health systems, improving access to quality malaria services, and
ensuring interventions reach the most vulnerable populations.
Malaria remains one of the leading causes of illness and death in Sierra Leone, particularly among children
under five and pregnant women. The National Malaria Strategic Plan aims to reduce the malaria burden and
move toward elimination by 2025 through high-impact interventions such as the distribution of insecticide-
treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying, prompt diagnosis and treatment, and community engagement.
Effective communication is critical to achieving these objectives. Communities need clear, culturally
appropriate, and behavior-focused messages to understand prevention practices, seek timely treatment, and
adopt recommended behaviors. Radio remains one of the most powerful and accessible channels for health
communication in Sierra Leone, reaching rural and urban populations alike. Complementary materials such as
flyers and posters reinforce these messages at community and household levels.
To amplify outreach and ensure inclusivity, PMI REACH seeks a consultant to develop five culturally
appropriate radio jingles in Krio, Koranko, Fullah, Mende, Temne, and Limba. These jingles will promote key
malaria messages aligned with the National Malaria Strategic Plan and will be designed to resonate with
diverse linguistic and cultural groups across the country. The jingles will serve as a cornerstone of a broader
behavior change communication campaign aimed at increasing awareness, promoting preventive practices,
and encouraging prompt treatment-seeking behavior
2. Purpose of the Assignment
To script, translate, and produce high-quality audio messages for radio broadcast and community
dissemination that encourage correct use of LLINs, uptake of IPTp among pregnant women, prompt care-
seeking, diagnostic testing, and adherence to treatment.
3. Objectives
The consultant will:
Develop scripts for malaria-related messages in English and adapt them into five local languages.
Ensure cultural and linguistic appropriateness of all messages.
Record and produce one minute clear, broadcast-quality audio file in each language.
Deliver final mastered audio files suitable for radio and community playback.
4. Scope of Work
The scope includes:
Scriptwriting in English and translation into Krio, Mende, Koranko, Yalunka, Limba, and Susu.
Voice talent selection and audio recording.
Editing and mastering audio files for radio broadcast standards.
Delivery of final audio files in MP3/WAV format.
