In Kenya, Oxfam works with others to alleviate poverty and inequality. We work with the most vulnerable communities in the dry and remote northern regions, and in the impoverished slums of the capital, Nairobi. In Kenya, the highest poverty levels are in the northern pastoralist districts - in some areas 95% of people fall below the poverty line. Like ...
Background
Women have played important roles in national and grassroots peace processes and maintaining security in Africa. They have lived history, through their direct participation and their role in influencing key actors. Despite women’s critical contributions to security, their representation in peace processes has lagged. Their contributions and experiences have not been sufficiently documented. Analysts and international organizations have made efforts to document women’s participation, but there remains a significant gap in the availability of women’s first-person accounts and reflections, that give their perspectives on important moments and events in their national history, in their own words.
There is currently limited established base in Africa that offers a space for documentation, reflection and sharing of experiences of women peacemakers, many of whom are making vital contributions to sustaining peace at community levels. This gap hampers opportunities to better-analysis on how lessons from these experiences of women and young people can be harnessed to inform national, regional and international policy processes. It also reveals a gap in historical recording of peace-making experiences in Africa and presents a missed opportunity for younger African women and men who could draw inspiration from learning about the documented experiences to support peace efforts in Africa.
Objective
Oxfam seeks to engage a consultant, company or organization to produce an inspirational documentary demonstrating how women have participated in peace processes and what effect they have had.
This project aims at producing a documentary of women peace makers from the different regions of Africa. This is an opportunity for female peacemakers to share their accomplishments and narrate the challenges they encountered as Africans on their journeys towards such accomplishments and how their peace-making activities has benefited their society having in mind the responsibilities to empower, motivate or encourage other young/aspiring future women peace makers in the continent.
The documentary will be used for citizens mobilisation and organising across Africa and as a tool for raising awareness on the important role women are playing in peace processes. It will also be used as advocacy and influencing tool targeting policy makers and duty bearers at national, regional and continental levels on the need to invest in women’s participation in conflict prevention and resolution.
The target is not to get stories from renown women and top female politicians, but to have stories from women peacemakers at all levels. The documentary will gather stories on their experiences in peace making processes at local, regional and continental levels.
Audience
African Governments, AU institutions, Regional Economic Institutions (RECs) Institutional donors, CSOs, Citizens
