CO-OGB Evidencing Project Oxfam is committed to tackling extreme vulnerability by taking a triple nexus approach, which brings together emergency (humanitarian) response, longer-term development support, and support to social cohesion, to tackle protracted crises. Although Oxfam has worked on an integrated response to protracted crises for many years, donors and external audiences are less aware of the importance of integrating social cohesion programming into humanitarian response to make it more sustainable.  There is therefore limited understanding of the types of social cohesion programming that Oxfam engages in to support sustainable development and effective humanitarianaid.
In Uganda, funding for the humanitarian response is shrinking and Oxfam wants to secure more funding to support the refugee settlements and host communities in Uganda.  Developing clear stories and engaging videos of the work that Oxfam supports in Westnile in the refugee settlements of Bidibidi, Imvepi and Rhino Camp, could help Oxfam in Uganda and partners to better explain and secure funding for this work with donors such as the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. It will also strengthen internal knowledge of Oxfam’s triple nexus approach and socialise good practice across the Confederation.
Oxfam in Uganda is, therefore, looking for a creative photographer/videographer in Uganda to produce compelling photos and video content on the Uganda response reflecting an artistic vision. The content will highlight how local organizations i.e. are integrating social cohesion into humanitarian response. Show the efforts of the communities in peacebuilding; additionally; the content will highlight the dwindling support for the crises and document Oxfam’s response efforts, showing in particular how Oxfam integrates social cohesion into humanitarian response efforts.

Objectives
1. Develop short donor engagement videos that can be used to encourage institutional donors (e.g. FCDO) to increase funding for the Uganda refugee response.
2. Gather content (short stories, photos, short videos) that can be used widely by a variety of internal technical working groups and external engagement teams (e.g. Fundraising, partnerships, supporter engagement teams) to generate triple nexus funding, which incorporates elements of social cohesion programming into humanitarian and longer-term support.
3. Explain simply and clearly why Oxfam supports social cohesion as part of its humanitarian and development work, I.e. because social cohesion is essential for building effective and sustainable resilience to climate change, because it prevents or reduces themagnitude of humanitarian crises, and because it  helps to minimise social tensions that emerge through the course of our humanitarian/development work).
4. Explain the added value of supporting/funding Oxfam (as opposed to other actors) to work on social cohesion (e.g. because of our strong local partnership approaches and our multi-mandated capacity and reach).
5. Raise the profile and legitimacy of local actors in conflict prevention and social cohesion, so that other INGOs, UN agencies, donors and government actors recognise them as valuable actors in the development of strong, sustainable, peaceful societies.
6. Develop a video that fosters learning on peace-building approaches and collaborations.

Scope of work:

• Produce a series of short videos, ranging in length from 15 seconds to 2 minutes capturing stories of peacebuilding (approximately 3-5 videos) (To be edited by the Global Team).  The videos will be filmed in the local languages of communities and will be later translated into English with subtitles on-screen and delivered to Oxfam along with time-coded and full translated transcripts for each interview and clean version (no titles, logo nor subtitles).(clarify whether it will be edited by the Oxfam team or videographer)
• Produce 30 still photos capturing creatively the profiles ofeach of the main character and their environment showing how the communities work on social cohesion as part of humanitarian response. Ideally capture 4-5 photos showing something with Oxfam’s logo, related to the social cohesion work.
• Produce an additional video showing Oxfam’s support to peace through the eyes of an Oxfam staff member or partner.
• Produce between 8 to 10 minutes video (fully edited) for a learning objective focusing on the role of the cultural and religious leaders to foster peace among the host and refugee settlements. (To be edited by the videographer/Country team with support from the Global team)
• The video team should ensure that informed consent procedures are followed, using Oxfam’s informed consent template, and that all completed/signed consent documents are handed over to Oxfam, along with the video files (all rushes included).
• The subjects should be selected to capture a diversity of perspectives, e.g. capturing a woman, an elderly person’s perspective of how conflict is affecting the crisis, People withDisability (PWDS), local partners we work with, and local authorities, (taking special care to adhere to Oxfam’s ethical guidelines). It is important to communicate the link between conflict and humanitarian crisis, demonstrating why we need to address conflict to prevent future crises and resolve this crisis.
• The video and photo stories should follow selected subjects through a day in their lives (and the lives of their dependents/families) as they work to cope with the effects of being refugees from conflict related causes but who also face climate and hunger crisis. It should also follow a day in the lives of local peace actors as they go about their work to build peace. We should highlight their resilience to conflict and local capacities to manage conflict and maintain social cohesion.  It is very important not to portray these individuals in a victimized or a stereotypical way (e.g. sad mother with herchildren). The pictures should show strength and resilience, and how people are managing to cope despite the difficult circumstances in which they live.
• Capture short stories, design and print the booklet.
• We want to raise the profile of Uganda refugee response including as being a country hosting many refuges that needs attention, not just to alleviate humanitarian suffering, but to address the conflict dynamics.

Oxfam in Uganda, our local partners including Refugee Led Organizations, and local peacebuilders that wecollaborate with, will all have their own objectives for this work, and it is important that these are clear and that we ensure we meet their objectives, as far as we possibly can. We do not want this work to be extractive.
