FilmAid International Program Development Consultancy

FilmAid International Program Development Consultancy

Since 1999, FilmAid has used the unique power of film to reach large numbers of vulnerable communities, especially those in refugee camps with critical information in a compelling visual format, overcoming language and literacy barriers.

FilmAid uses films that are both educational and entertaining to draw audiences’ attention to subjects of vital concern to their health and well-being. Through our extensive work on the ground, FilmAid has developed a participatory methodology that engages people of concern on issues concerning them.

Working with other relief agencies and community leaders, FilmAid identifies emerging critical issues and develops appropriate film messages to help educate and inform. People of concern participate actively in the creation of these films, and the resulting pieces are widely distributed and screened throughout beneficiary communities through daytime screenings, video workshops and evening screenings.
In this way, FilmAid is able to respond to an immediate, unmet need for locally relevant messaging. Through real collaboration, FilmAid’s community-based films support the work of other aid agencies and effectively address the issues and concerns of beneficiary communities.

To develop and strengthen its programs outside of its refugee programs, and as part of sustainability for a current youth peace building project being implemented jointly with Kenya Transitions Initiative (KTI)/development Alternatives Inc (DAI)/USAID targeting youths in the Post Election Violence (PEV) affected communities of Kibera, Naivasha, Eldoret and Kisumu, FilmAid seeks the services of a program development consultant to design a program development strategy using this project as a reference and within the guiding principles outlined below.

Core principles:
  1. A participatory, culturally respectful and inclusive approach, engaging beneficiaries in needs assessment, management and implementation of the programs
  2. Investment in capacity building and local sustainability;
  3. Working with and supporting the work of local NGOs and beneficiaries
  4. Avoiding political and religious bias while creating lasting benefits for beneficiaries that extend beyond the scope of our immediate programs
Objectives:

The main objective of this consultancy is to review the existing project and other related documents and propose a sustainability and development strategy for future programs.

Another objective is to develop a partner resource index detailing program support cycles, networks, affiliations and resources to anchor the developed program development strategy.
