Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.

 

 

Background

 

Oxfam Pilipinas is committed towards promoting accountable governance in carrying out transformative work with its partners. Along with the organization’s work to eliminate poverty and injustice in the country, Oxfam Pilipinas seeks to capacitate local civil society organizations in establishing community-driven social accountability initiatives. For Oxfam Pilipinas, social accountability (SAc) involves ordinary citizens, communities, or civil society organizations constructively monitoring and assessing public programs and services towards generating evidence-based information that can be used to constructively engage duty-bearers and decision-makers to improve public programs and services.

In recent years, Oxfam Pilipinas and its partners have integrated social accountability as a key component of its work sustaining initial efforts on building CSO capacities to monitor government initiatives and creating spaces for dialogue with local government bodies on issues such as local disaster risk reduction and management fund utilization, gender-based based violence referral system, and public infrastructure investments.

In line with Oxfam Pilipinas’ Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning and Social Accountability (MELSA) team’s strategic priorities and learning initiatives this fiscal year, the production of an audiovisual presentation around social accountability efforts of an Oxfam-supported project is being proposed. Particularly, the AVP is envisioned to capture the social accountability initiatives of the Strengthening Participation and Accountability through Civil Society Organizations and Engagement with Sub-national and National Government (SPACES) Project, which aims to enhance collaboration among citizens and local decision-makers towards adoption and effective implementation of local policies that help to reduce inequalities and accelerate post-pandemic recovery efforts.

Oxfam Pilipinas’ Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning and Social Accountability (MELSA) team, hence, intends to engage the services of a qualified and experienced AVP producer to develop an engaging audio-visual presentation on Oxfam Pilipinas and partners’ social accountability inititiatives.
