CFA 003/CON/2026_International Consultant in Data Visualization, Graphic Design, and Motion Design

Location: Djibouti City, Djibouti

1. Project Context and Scope: 

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Djibouti implements a diverse portfolio of projects and activities aimed at supporting national authorities and stakeholders in migration governance and management. These interventions cover, among others, the strengthening of national capacities, the collection and analysis of migration data, support to the development of evidence-based policies, as well as other areas related to migration management and the protection of migrants.

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. This approach is particularly relevant for the two European Union-funded projects in the area of migration governance and management, which place strong emphasis on data and its valorization. In this context, the consultant will support IOM Djibouti in the design and production of visual content that better presents the data, results and achievements emerging from its various projects and activities. In particular, they will contribute to the creation of data visualizations, graphic materials, infographics and animated and/or motion design content.

The materials developed will be tailored to the needs of the different audiences and communication channels, in particular digital platforms and institutional products. They may target the general Djiboutian public, and young people aged 18 to 35 in particular, as well as policymakers, experts and regional institutions, civil society actors, journalists and influencers. 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.
