SRHR Media Manual Production – Consultant

1. Background:

As part of an ongoing partnership between Oxfam and Juzoor for Health and Social Development, the "Masarouna" project aims to enhance the capacity of journalism students in addressing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) issues. This initiative seeks to empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively cover SRHR topics and promote informed discussions within their communities. Juzoor is therefore seeking the services of a qualified consultant/company to develop a comprehensive training manual tailored for journalism students at the Birzeit University, focusing on the SRHR of young people.

2. Rationale:

The increasing relevance of SRHR issues in today's society underscores the need for well-trained journalists who can address these topics sensitively and knowledgeably. By equipping journalism students with specialized training on SRHR, Juzoor seeks to improve the quality of media coverage, foster a more informed public discourse, and contribute to better SRHR outcomes for young people. This training manual will serve as a crucial tool in achieving these goals, ensuring that students are well-prepared to handle SRHR issues with accuracy and empathy.
