Local Language Sensitization Animation

Epidemic outbreaks has continued to be a threat to the world and our innovation has come to confront it. we are producing series of animated contents in form of sensitization and awareness tips but in indigenous languages to orientate the over 40% illiterates in Nigeria to embrace preventive measures to flatten the curve. our solution reached 10 million target audience in 10 days. this works better as prevention is always better than cure. we only Localize information primarily generated by WHO. we are giving Nigeria a culturally engaging experience, our messages gives them pride while  they learn how to mitigate epidemics.

There were 43,996 cholera cases and 836 cholera deaths across 20 states in Nigeria during the outbreak period, 80% of the cases could have been prevented by circulation of quality sensitization information properly and in the most innovative way. the current COVID-19 infection figures worldwide is 1,213,927 and the figure increases every second, Nigeria is already taking the hit. this is just two examples of what Epidemic can cause if we do not think and innovate in the most effective ways. that is why Capital Power Multimedia Team created a project idea to create and localize sensitization messages that will flatten the curves through mitigation. it is cheaper to teach community people how to avoid a disease than to invent drugs that will cure them. while the world is interested in updating and supplying information to the influential citizens, our products target the pro poor disadvantaged Nigerians who ordinarily wouldn't have received any information on mitigation in local language if not for us. our descriptive animation videos reach over 10 million people weekly and with your grant, this figure will double.

Our solution is simple, we are equipping remote community people with necessary information using animation and well developed information circulation system to mitigate the spread of epidemics, our team is made up of animators, transcribers, video editors, voice over artistes and full set of production equipment. our source of information is the World Health Organization and Center for Disease Control, our innovation is our ability to localize world acceptable sensitization information into local languages and our ability to drive the process of information circulations. our solution is also an act of inclusion as the vulnerable now feel carried along and information truncation is greatly defeated 

our solution serves all indigenous Nigerians with information emancipation. our major beneficiaries are the 40% illiterate Nigerians amongst a country of over 200 million human population. our products empower civil societies, community leaders, religious organizations and health workers with vetted contents which they distribute across their networks. during circulations, some call us back to ask when the content will be released in their own languages and some call us for permission to share and some call us to highlight what they want to know and in all, we have continued to include their suggestions into the process of making the products better and these community people has been a major tool themselves in the information distribution. they now receive world standard information in their own tongue and that has helped them mitigate infectious diseases 

Epidemic outbreaks will continue to be a challenging process in the world order. our animation sensitization will continue to be timely in providing accessible information for the pro poor community people in their own local languages. when we first introduced these animation, they were excited and sharing it among themselves arguing that the world know they exist and has remembered them. our project let have absolute acceptability and more and more remote community people are becoming aware of coronavirus and they are learning through our animations how to wash their hands and observe social distancing. 

Ordinarily, the WHO and CDC releases consistent animations about epidemics but in English and in most cases, voice overs in US or british accents. these information gets truncated before it gets to indigenous Nigerians because they can hardly comprehend nor reach the subtitle in English. our solutions is the first to localize these vital information into indigenous languages in Nigeria. we brought inclusion and we are currently flattening the curve in Coronavirus infections using this solutions.

We use communications for development tools, we research, transcribe, revoice and animate using adobe suite amd maya, our computer systems are high speed macbook and Dell Alienware. we use social media distribution ore especially community whatsapp groups, facebook etc. we monitor using communications for development monitoring and evaluation tools

When we launched our solutions during the COVID-19 outbreak, we had core community development organizations commending the innovation. find the link below

This innovation will continue to ensure that any emerging epidemics and its mitigation strategies will be communicated to Indigenous Nigerians timely enough to prevent and drastically minimise spread and deaths

Our solution animation videos has currently reached 2 million and currently helping them with the Coronavirus tips, in one year, our solution will reach 20 million indigenous Nigeria and in two years when we extend localization in Ghanaian other other west African languages, our solution will reach 150 million people

Our goal is to consistently produce animations across all issues of epidemics in local languages, we are also hoping to continue to build our database of whatsapp numbers and social media followership to increase our distribution. in two years, we have a work plan of extending our localizations to all the major languages in the west african region.

Our only barrier is funding to acquire more computers and softwares, to set up more work studios and to hire more animators to be able to scale up production. we will also want to network and purchase more data in form of phone numbers and social media sponsorship to reach more people.

We are currently applying for grants and funding from donor agencies to generate resources and we are also picking paid projects to implement and generate expansion revenue

10 full time staff

Our Partnership goals is to receive funding to scale of production of Sensitization Animation Videos for all the infectious diseases that affect Nigerians . we will also love to partner with online gurus that can help with social media distribution. 

With Grant, we will drive partnership with Nigeria Medical Associations and Ministry of health to make sure that will guarantee that all the primary health care worker across all rural communities will consistently receive these animations which they will in turn share in their posting locations. 

we will also consistently update our contacts database where we share these animations to enable us reach more audience

I am qualified for this prize because i am using the experience i generated from visiting over 700 local governments for humanitarian activities to create a chain of information distribution in a traditional way that guarantee community participation .

we will use the funds to create a more elaborate framework covering other West African Countries, we will have a solution website and mobile app to quickly update and link contents to all the focal persons that redistributes our information. Website showing my experience in the field

Our solution uses information technology tools from development to distribution. we are hoping to develop automations and artificial intelligence systems that will help us channel relevant animations to the right audiences based on social media stage of origin data

Our solutions will also be used as a coaching tool for women during their antenatal in their respective health facilities . we will use grant from the Innovation for Women prize to provide TV screens where these animations will be airing in remote maternity hospitals. our solution believes that it is more vital to teach a pregnant woman about epidemics because if she contacts a disease, it affects more than one person

There is surge in the number of refugees in Nigeria due to Boko Haram insurgency in North East Nigeria. any solution we develop here must put into consideration the huge number of this constituency. if we secure the Andan Prize for Innovation grant, we will provide TV screen and solar unit to power and playback our sensitization in IDP Camps. We will partner with health care providers in the camp to make sure that women and adults that do not have android devices in the camp, can learn from our donated TV Screens
