Position title: Consultant to create a short video animation on data privacy protection

Location: Bangkok, Thailand

Reports to: Private Sector Engagement Specialist

Type of Contract: Fixed price contract

Duration of Contract: 2 months

Closing Date: 3^rd Nov 2021, 11.59 hrs. Bangkok time

Term of reference

The USAID Thailand Counter Trafficking in Persons Project is seeking a contract service to develop and create a short video that will explain the new data privacy protection law in Thailand, Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act BE 2562 (PDPA), along with any related laws to protect access to personal information and disclosure of personal data.

Background

In June 2021, Thailand’s new data privacy law – the Personal Data Protection Act BE 2562 (PDPA) - came into effect to regulate digital platforms and protect personal information of users from violators. This law has been introduced throughout digital platforms and applications. Meanwhile, as the regulatory environment for data privacy in Thailand sees development, the USAID Thailand CTIP Project has observed increasing data privacy concerns expressed by vulnerable groups and migrant communities in its project activities. Fear of the misuse and/or breach of their data, compounded with confusion over existing data privacy protection mechanisms, has also contributed to a reluctance to make use of digital platforms and tools, including those developed by CTIP organizations targeted for their use - tools such as those to raise grievances, assess their vulnerability, etc.

There is a need for disseminating knowledge on data privacy to ensure that vulnerable groups and migrant communities understand the law and their rights to privacy, data protection, and access to remedy in the event of a data breach. Thus, the video will enable users to understand their data privacy rights and the protection measures that they are entitled to access under Thai law.

Responsibilities

The contractor will be provided with an outline and key messages of the video content including concerns from Thai NGOs and beneficiaries over data privacy and the related laws. The contractor will be expected to lead the creative design process including scriptwriting, storyboarding, editing and final production of the video. The video will be produced in Thai, English, Burmese, Khmer, and Lao voice overs.

Objectives

The goal of this consultancy work is to produce a visually effective and high-quality video to address the data privacy concerns of NGOs, CSOs, and migrants. The video will explain to viewers their data privacy rights and measures that can protect their data and guarantee their privacy, with references to the PDPA and examples of Winrock’s applications that demonstrate the use of standard data privacy measures in action. The video can be a mix of infographics, and animation infographics and/or illustrations with no longer than five minutes duration.

Consultancy period: The production of the video will take place over a two-month period.

Deliverables and payment:

Payment will be made upon timely submission of satisfactory deliverables per agreed work plan, and approval by the contractor’s supervisor. The payment will be made in 3 tranches after all the deliverables have been met.

The payment schedule is subjected to negotiation between Winrock and selected Consultant.

The proposed payment schedule for the review is as follows:
