Oxfam in Bangladesh is looking for a qualified Consultant or a Consultancy Firm to “Developing A Video Documentary To Promote Climate Risk Insurance And Community Rights.” We are inviting for proposal from interested consultancy firm/individual to undertake this assignment.

Background:

WFP and Oxfam are jointly implementing the “Climate Risk Insurance” project in Kurigram district of Bangladesh, funded by Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The project is developing support systems to cover vulnerable people’s loss induced by climatic variances, different extreme weather events or natural disasters. This includes working with financial institutions like insurance companies as well as research institutes to develop insurance products appropriate to the needs of the climate vulnerable communities.

However, use of insurance as a mechanism to cover climate change induced loss is a relatively new concept and is not widely known to the public sphere. Therefore, Oxfam plans to engage a AV Maker to deeply explore this concept, understand the views of the communities and other stakeholders like the insurance companies and research institutes or academia and develop a video documentary for gaining attention of the policy makers, civil society and to mobilize public awareness on Climate Risk Insurance.

Objective

To create public awareness on climate risk insurance and use the video piece to mobilize the relevant Government officials, donor agencies, and development peers.
