UNDP

Conflicting Identities

Animation

Overview

In 2020, UN Women and UNDP co-produced the Conflicting Identities report to better understand the relationship between violent extremism and gender power relations. The report hopes to inform more gender sensitive programming and policy responses to extremism and peacebuilding in South and South-East Asia.

Palim was approached to support with a social media strategy and developing digital content that would help publicize the report, ensuring key findings were conveyed in a relatable and simplified way. An animated story and associated micro-content was developed based on an encounter by one of the researchers who developed the report. The story showed how gender roles and social expectations of men can be manipulated by extremist groups to further their own means.

About the Project

For this project, Palim conducted an initial scoping exercise with the UNDP research team to understand the core messaging and findings before proposing a narrative concept. Local researchers from the paper were interviewed and a candidate with a compelling story relating to the research was selected. Palim scripted the animation in collaboration with the researcher and guided the development of a voiceover recording which was then submitted to an animator to storyboard. The post-production process was guided by Palim crew who coordinated editorial reviews with our client to deliver the final product.
