THE GAMBIA GENDER CHAMPIONS 

Terms of Reference

Videographer for Videos & Photos of the Gender Champions

1.0 Background of Programme

While it is clear that gender equality requires actions on all levels, visibility and commitments at the highest level can act as catalysts and accelerators of change. When paired with concrete actions, like the Gender Champions Initiative, they are highly likely to have lasting impact. Specifically, the objective of the Gambia Gender Champions Initiative is to promote gender equality in The Gambia by establishing and amplifying the commitment of those in leadership roles to actively further gender equality within their mandates, and to increase the visibility of women in senior positions. The joint engagement of women and men in the economy will be strengthened through the commitment of those in leadership roles.

The initiative is jointly coordinated by the SheTrades National Host Institution, which is anchored at the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment with support from the SheTrades Project Manager at the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the SheTrades Advisory Board, and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Children and Social Welfare. The two Ministries collaborate in the coordination of activities, communicating about the initiative, supporting Champions in setting their commitments, coordinating annual reporting of impact achieved by the Champions, and organizing annual meetings for the Champions to network and strategize together on how to accomplish their commitments.

 

2.0 Objective of the Videos and Photos of the Champions

Local leaders of The Gambia will make two personal commitments promoting gender equality within their mandate and spurring behavioral change at an individual and an institutional level. These commitments are specific to each Champion and their respective organization, and seek to catalyze change as well as implement best practices to achieve gender equality in measurable, results-oriented and time-bound increments.

The videographer will provide high-quality videos featuring each individual champion stating his or her commitments as well as high-quality photos displaying the personality of each champion. The material will be used in print and online.
