REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR PERFORMING ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT CONSULTANT

Oxfam is a confederation of 20 affiliates operating globally in 79 countries, working to see a world without poverty. We are a worldwide development organization that mobilizes the power of people against poverty. Around the globe, we work to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them.

In Nigeria, Oxfam works to influence policy change in favour of the poor and most vulnerable, promoting food security and supporting small-scale farms to improve the livelihoods of men and women in rural areas.

Oxfam in Nigeria focuses on:

  • Meeting vulnerable people’s needs: saving lives.
  • Sustaining increased incomes for the poorest.
  • Transforming attitudes about women’s roles and rights.
  • Increasing active citizenship and the accountability and transparency of public and private sectors.
     

Central to our work is the belief that power relations need to change to enable poor people to demand and claim their rights. We work with a wide variety of development partners and allies, such as community organizations and civil society groups at the local, state, and national levels to achieve our goal.

Oxfam in Nigeria is seeking the services of a qualified entertainment consultant or creative team to deliver a series of impactful performances at the upcoming “Government Stakeholders and Youth Engagement on Inequality in Nigeria” event. This engagement is part of Oxfam’s broader communications and advocacy strategy under the Fair4All Project, which aims to foster inclusive dialogue between government actors and young people, while amplifying voices calling for a more just and equitable society.

The selected consultant will be responsible for delivering high-quality performances across dance, drama, poetry, music, and DJ services. Each act should creatively reflect themes of inequality, resilience, and social justice, while engaging a diverse audience. Deliverables will include choreographed dance, a dramatic skit, spoken word poetry, musical interludes, and DJ coverage throughout the event. These performances will help Oxfam spark reflection, inspire action, and visually communicate the urgency of addressing inequality in Nigeria.
