How to grow tech talent across Africa

Animation

28 Jan

A character-driven animation exploring how young African’s are using technology to innovate, and the challenges they face.

Client: Youth Forward Learning Partnership/Overseas Development Institute (ODI)

What was the project?

We created a character-driven animation for ODI, exploring how young Africans are using tech to innovate, but also the barriers they face to scaling their businesses. As we learn, access to funding, skills to grow businesses, low pay and insecure employment conditions means governments must do more to support the growing African tech industry.

This was the second animation in a series we produced for the Youth Forward Learning Partnership/ODI.

For this animation, ODI were keen to share the final animation across a range of channels, in both English and French. To enable this, we created two (otherwise identical) language versions.

What did our client think?

“Tim and Alex were creative, professional, followed the brief and were very responsive to our queries. The final animation was vibrant and dynamic and we hope make an impact with our messaging!”
