Film Producer: Women’s leadership in climate change and disaster risk reduction amongst decision-makers

CARE is an international humanitarian aid organisation fighting global poverty, with a special focus on working with women and girls to bring lasting change to their communities. CARE International in Vietnam is a creative and dynamic organisation which has worked with Vietnamese partner organisations over the past 25 years in over 100 projects. CARE in Vietnam recognises that the key to achieving equitable development outcomes lies in shifting deeply rooted, structural underlying causes of poverty and social and gender injustice which contribute to exclusion and vulnerability of particular groups in society.

CARE in Vietnam’s long term program goals are that Remote Ethnic Minority Women (REMW) participate equitably in the economy and have a legitimate and respected voice, and that Socially Marginalised People (SMP) equitably benefit from development, are resilient to changing circumstances and have a legitimate voice.

CARE in Vietnam works to empower women and their communities by strengthening and building individual, organisational and institutional capacities; by building partnerships (civil society, government, and private sector) to facilitate long term sustainable change; by integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction as key components of our programs; and by supporting policy development and implementation through policy dialogue and advocacy. Impact measurement, documentation of sound evidence and accountability to all stakeholders plays a significant role in innovation as well as knowledge management and learning.

Objectives of the work

The main objective of this work is to develop customized audio-visual IEC materials (video) to convey the importance of women’s leadership within climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and draw on success stories of the CCAG projects.

As part of the CCAG, the organisations involved, led by CARE International in Vietnam, are working together to produce films which call for policy and decision-makers to commit to furthering women’s leadership within climate change and disaster risk reduction efforts. The films will present the successes of each CCAG project through the stories of those who participated in and were impacted by the initiatives, alongside the key messages or action p oints for policy-makers. The film must present women’s leadership through a lens of women’s empowerment and gender equality, with full understanding and sensitivity of the context within Vietnam.
