FilmAid International:
Since 1999, FilmAid has used the unique power of film to reach large numbers of people 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. From the outset, the protection of women and girls has been a priority for FilmAid.
Through our extensive work on the ground, FilmAid has developed a participatory methodology that engages people of concern on issues concerning women’s and girls’ protection with great success, leading to proven changes in attitudes and behaviors.
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.
As part of developing and strengthening its programs to further meet the needs of beneficiary communities as well as measure the impact of its programs, FilmAid seeks the services of an M&E specialist to develop new and refine current instruments and tools for M&E.
Objectives:
The main objective of this consultancy is to review and refine the existing data collection tools specifically pre and post knowledge testing tools mainly for daytime screenings, evening screenings and workshops, as well as daytime screening monitoring sheets.
Another objective is to analyze the current data collected so far using the existing pre-post knowledge assessment tool to enable FilmAid to indicate achievements on current targets.
The objectives are summarized as below;
