Project Description

Funded by UNICEF and in collaboration with the Zambian Ministry of General Education, EDC will provide technical assistance to develop interactive audio instruction (IAI) programs, both the scripts and recorded audio, to expand the reach of continuity of learning to the most disadvantaged children in Zambia at primary level. The programs will focus on three core learning areas: literacy and language, mathematics and integrated science. The programs will be developed for primary grades 1-7 and the programs for grades 1-4 will be translated in to the seven local languages as adopted by the Zambia Education Curriculum Framework 2013.

The project will record 75 programs of approximately 15 minutes for each grade (5, 6 and 7) for a total of 225 programs between October 2021 and April 2022 at a studio in Lusaka. The UNICEF Zambia IAI project seeks to hire voice actors as follows;
