East African Community

Request for Expressions of Interest

Media Content Analysis

The East African Integration Process

Project Background

The EAC’s vision seeks to attain a prosperous, competitive, secure and politically united East Africa.

This calls for a people – centered and private sector lead integration process that will involve various stakeholders across the region.

By encouraging broad participation, a clear communication policy and strategy significantly contributes to fostering progress towards the EAC objectives.

With a population of over 140 million and growing, the media plays a critical role in communicating the EAC and bringing its core objectives, projects and programmes into the public realm.

While every EAC citizen has the ability to spread the message of East African integration, not all citizens have the luxury the media has:  The access to be in regional frontline of happenings.

The people of EAC continue to depend on the media’s curiosity, persistence and integrity to communicate the message and spirit of East African integration.

It is against this background that the EAC Corporate Communication Department, jointly with GIZ seek to engage the services of a media monitoring services provider to carry out a media monitoring exercise/content analysis that will, broadly, contribute to an evidence-based approach in formulating strategy with regard to the EAC’s Information, Education and Communication (IEC) initiatives, and specifically, inform the East African Community’s engagement with the media in the region.

Project Objectives

The Project aims to;

  • Improve the quality of journalism on the EAC integration agenda.
  • Encourage a more effective use of varied media platforms in the integration process.
  • Integrate lessons learned in the media coverage of the EAC.

Project Description

The media content analysis aims at gathering information to provide a deeper insight on how the EAC integration process is reported, and to analyze/dissect this content with a view to extrapolating trends on coverage of EAC while identifying the gaps in this coverage where they exist.

The analysis will be done through

i) Quantitative analysis of EAC articles in the Media (Electronic and Print Media)

ii) Qualitative analysis of EAC Integration process. (Electronic and Print Media)

EAC and GIZ now invite consultants/companies to indicate their interest in providing these services.

Interested consultants/companies must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.). Consultants/companies may constitute joint-ventures to enhance their chances of qualification.

Eligibility criteria, establishment of the short-list and the selection procedure shall be in accordance with GIZ Procurement Rules and Procedures.

Expressions of interest must be sent to the address below by 30 April 2013 at 1500hrs and mention “MEDIA CONTENT ANALYSIS, THE EAST AFRICAN INTEGRATION PROCESS”.

No. 65, Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road,

The Jaw breaking salary gaps between the Big Fish and Junior Workers Continues to widen. Imagine pocketing Sh 10,541 not as a months salary but as per hour pay of the time that you are in office.

For instance,  a Kenyan CEO that stays in office for 10 hours a day which is not plausible to begin with, stands a chance to pocket a staggering amount of money that a common junior worker might not be able to earn in this lifetime or the other.

The most recent analysis on top management pay conducted by audit firm Price Waterhouse Coopers shows that the average pay  for CEO’s in the financial services sector stands at shs Sh 2.53 million per month. Compared to the minimum wage that the government has set at Sh 11,995, this small amount doesn’t add up to the heavy duties that junior workers are involved in in the day to day running of the office.

Among the CEO’s that earn Sh 10,541 are from the top five banks in the country such as Barclays, KCB, Equity, Standard Chartered and Cooperative. Kenya Airways, Safaricom , EABL, Bamburi Cement  and BAT CEO also fall on the same category.

In the flying business that saw its CEO ranked as one of the highly paid top cat, Kenya airways has been plagued with an all time retrenchment that saw it workers take the matter to court to challenge the company. Airport staff such as operators, fire fighters, flight controllers and engineers  who are employed by Kenya Ports Authority earn an average of Sh 40,000 which is subject to taxation and several deduction.

A top managerial post does  however come with its handsome perks, allowances, bonuses and medical  cover. For some managers, the company will pay the salaries of their domestic workers an even their school fees.

It’s not only our MP’s therefore who are obsessed with hefty perks as it turns out. The common Kenyan is subjected to heavy taxation, more work and less pay while the top cats pocket all money.

When it comes to job application they are some things beyond your control but can influence whether you get called for an interview or not. This career article explores on whether to indicate your age when job searching.

When you are applying for a job, you want to be considered for the role based on whether you are capable of doing that job or not. The decision to hire you should be based on your skills and suitability to the role rather than on your age. It is illegal to discriminate based on age, however whether intentionally or not, if
you include your age on a CV, it can play a part in the decision to meet you and interview you or not. It can also expose you to incorrect assumptions which can hinder your job search.

For example – someone may think that you are too young and hence inexperienced for a job but that would just be based on seeing your age. On the other hand, someone might think that they don’t want to employ someone who’s older because they might be expensive to employ, or not able to harness the Internet, or too old to do the job and so on. A company that you apply for might also have many people who are ‘younger’ or ‘maturer’ and based on that – someone might incorrectly decide that you won’t fit into the company culture based on your age not being the same as others there.

There can be many assumptions based on age – some conscious and others not – that can hinder an application, when actually age shouldn’t be playing any part in deciding whether or not you should get a job.
