Photographer for Profiling of Local and National organizations working in Rohingya Crisis through photo documentation

Oxfam employs more than six thousand people in 90 countries who share a commitment to work together to end poverty and suffering. It is committed to ensure diversity and gender equality within the organization and welcomes applications from women, person with disability and under-represented groups. Oxfam does not discriminate against applicants or employees based on their HIV/AIDS status. The organization has been working in Bangladesh since the War of Independence and has established a permanent country office in 1972. Since then it has responded to all major emergencies in the country. Oxfam’s current program focuses on Economic Justice & Resilience, Gender and Women’s Leadership and Humanitarian Capacity Building and Response.

A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can stop poverty and suffering in their tracks. More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.

Oxfam in Bangladesh is going to hire a Photographer (national) for Profiling of Local and National organizations working in Rohingya Crisis through photo documentation. We invite proposal from interested individual/firm to undertake this assignment.

Background:
The Empowering Local and National Humanitarian Actors (ELNHA) program aims at shifting and sharing power and resources in the humanitarian sector between international humanitarian actors and local and national ones. The underlying assumption is that having local and national actors (LNHAs) in the driving seat will allow vulnerable people in disaster prone areas to benefit from better humanitarian action.

To achieve the envisioned systemic change in the humanitarian sector, the ELNHA project is pursuing three main strategies in parallel:

• Local humanitarian actors have the capacity to deliver humanitarian responses, through organizational and leadership capacity (STRENGTH)
• Local humanitarian actors exercise leadership by influencing or having power over the humanitarian priorities in their country through their participation, advocacy, and relationships (VOICE).
• Key stakeholders in the humanitarian system recognize and trust in the leadership and capacities of local actors and support an enabling environment for their leadership in preparedness and emergency response action (SPACE).

Objectives:

• Understand the scale and magnitude of the crisis.
• Documenting the local/national NGOs working in Rohingya Crisis to shoot to high quality photo story that tells the story of Local and National NGO engagement in the Rohingya Emergency Crisis in Cox’s Bazar and capture stories of people impacted by LNNGO interventions.
• Create a digital photo album for visualizing the contribution of LNNGOs
• To make visible the engagement of LNNGOs to wider groups including Donors, INGOs, Government and UN agencies
• To support LNNGOs strengthened engagement and leadership into this response.
