1-BACKGROUND
 
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) re-established its presence in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) in January 2009 and is mainly developing programme activities in the sectors of shelter, education and the provision of information, counselling and legal assistance (ICLA). The long term objective of the programme is to contribute to improved protection and living conditions for refugees and internally displaced persons in the oPt.
 
The ICLA programme in Gaza seeks to undertake a project to produce a short film that can be screened during advocacy and donor meetings with high level representatives of the international community in the oPt. The film will form the visual part of a package of information materials provided by NRC during such briefings so that key advocacy and donor targets can visualize the priority issues affecting the housing, land and property (HLP) rights of Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip.
 
2-SERVICES
 
The overall results from the Film Project to be achieved by the Consultant/s are as follows:

The second part will focus on women’s access to their HLP rights through customary dispute mechanisms and before mukhtars, including through testimony and case studies with clients from NRC’s partner, the Palestinian Center for Democracy and Conflict Resolution (PCDCR). Each part will use legal cases from NRC and its partners to depict the relevant issues and NRC’s beneficiaries will be included as the subject/s.
