Documentary Filming

Project Background 

Masarouna is a regional program designed to harness the potential of young people as catalysts for collective action. The program’s primary objective is to empower and mobilize young people towards advocating for expanded freedom of choice and the utmost respect for their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Through innovative strategies for change, Masarouna seeks to amplify the voices of young people, ensuring their perspectives and concerns are considered in decision-making processes. Masarouna recognizes the importance of a robust civil society in championing SRHR. The program is dedicated to enhancing civil society's capacity to advocate for youth SRHR and catalyze positive change through collaborative efforts.

Objective

The assignment aims to produce a documentary film on the implementation of Masarouna Project activities in OPT, to present and display a quick and attractive summary of the project’s lifetime by capturing key moments and conducting several interviews. With the support of Oxfam, the film should be able to recap interesting and crucial activities, initial results, success and challenges. Noting that Oxfam will coordinate with the service provider for documenting specific activities that will be implemented within the time frame to be part of the documentary.

It is expected that the service provider will have multiple field visits in Gaza Strip and the West Bank to film ongoing activities and document previous activities through interviews, site visits and incorporating previous video materials from partners. The documentary should highlight and reflect the positive impact of Masarouna project on partners and beneficiaries.
