RFP-Animated Video on GBV

Ipas Nepal invites qualified firm/company to submit proposal to develop an animated video on gender-based violence and its prevention not later than 26 November 2025. Developed video will be integrated into GBV e-portal of National Health Training Center (NHTC).

Ipas works globally with a vision that every woman and girl has the right and ability to determine her own sexuality and reproductive health. Our programs use a multifaceted approach that addresses reproductive health services, access to services, and fulfillment of reproductive rights.

As part of the broader reproductive justice movement, Ipas is working to ensure that abortion and contraceptive care are essential health services and that all people can access them. We seek to expand the availability, quality and sustainability of abortion and related reproductive health services, as well as improve the enabling environment for the services.

Ipas Nepal’s program intervention prioritizes intersectional partnerships that integrates into the broader gender equality and social justice, including gender-based violence prevention and response, and women-led climate justice.

To reduce barriers, minimize absenteeism from in-person trainings, and improve access to learning for health service providers and managers, Ipas Nepal, in close collaboration with the National Health Training Center (NHTC), has developed a national e-training platform. This digital learning portal marks a significant milestone in the Government of Nepal’s move towards digitizing its national health training systems. As part of this initiative, Ipas Nepal plans to produce a high-quality animated video on GBV for the NHTC GBV Portal. This video will play a key role in enhancing provider understanding, enhancing survivor-centered care, and strengthening the national digital ecosystem for GBV learning and response.
