Background of the Project

The Somalia Resilience Programme (SomReP) is a consortium of seven international NGOs with the aim to enhance the resilience of chronically vulnerable households, communities and systems across Somalia. After severe droughts and famines in the past years, especially the devastating drought of 2011, a sustained commitment has grown strong among regional and international actors to build resilience of vulnerable groups in Somalia. In 2012, seven leading INGOs came together simultaneously under World Vision’s regional Securing Africa’s Future initiative to form a resilience consortium for Somalia, known as SomReP. The members of the consortium are: ACF, ADRA, CARE, COOPI, DRC, Oxfam and World Vision.

The project goal of SomReP is to contribute to improved resilience and increased adaptive capacities for communities and households in Somalia to protect their livelihoods over continuing shocks. Recurrent shocks and stresses are present in Somalia and often erode livelihood assets and productivity over time. SomReP is a livelihood focused programme and targets inventions which build adaptive, absorptive, transformation capacities toward achieving economic wellbeing improvements.

SomReP targets three livelihood zones: pastoral, agro-pastoral and peri-urban poor. Pastoral and agro-pastoral are traditional livelihood sectors that are particularly vulnerable and central to Somali household survival. Peri-urban poor is a sub-strata of Somalia’s growing urban population, and these households face particular livelihood vulnerability given their high propensity to be internally displaced households, female-headed households, or youth with few employment prospects.

Rationale/justification for the documentary

As we reach the end date of the EU funded South West State Drought Recovery Program implemented in Burhakaba, Qansadhere and Xudur, SomReP intends to document success stories and showcase meaningful impact the project has made in the lives of the target households across the target districts. The video documentaries will be the views of the project beneficiaries, their reflections on context and challenges they encountered, what steps were taken through or by the program to address them. The consultant will be required to document four (4) video documentaries each 5 minutes looking at four of the following activities: Agrovet pharmacy, kitchen gardening, VSLA, TVET, natural resource management, GAP and online feedback mechanism (Training and operations) beneficiaries.

Specific Objective of the Documentation

· To understand the contributions of SomReP activities in strengthening the capacity of the households in adapting to the changing context.

· To document the success stories and the impact registered during the project period as a result of program interventions in the target locations.

· To produce 4 video documentaries not more than 5 minutes long describing the program impact.
