Deadline: 28-Aug-20
Population Reference Bureau (PRB) is pleased to announce a request for applications from youth-led organizations with existing family planning advocacy efforts to partner with them on a short-term basis to create data-rich, visually coi-npelling, and actionable communications materials.
Policy environments are always changing, and as the COVID-19 pandemic affects countries around the world, they have seen a shift in health policy priorities to address its effects. At the same time, the need remains for policy audiences to continue to prioritize family planning and reproductive health to support their population’s general health. Evidence-driven communication materials paired with effective advocacy strategies can maximize impact of increasingly limited resources. As part of the Empowering Evidence-Driven Advocacy (EEDA) project, the Family Planning Advocacy Resource Hub supports family planning organizations by working together to create customized advocacy materials that interpret and communicate data and evidence for local policymakers and influencers.
During this four- to five-month partnership, PRB works with partners to identify their priorities for evidence-based family planning messages and develop materials collaboratively to meet their advocacy needs.
Examples of materials created under past partnerships include:
- Short video (three to five minutes).
- Infographic.
- Policy brief.
- Multimedia presentation.
- Factsheet.
- Handheld brochure.
Eligibility Criteria
- Youth-led organizations with an established record of family planning advocacy or policy work and outcomes, as well as limited capacity to produce quality communications materials independently.
- At least 25% of the youth-led organization’s existing advocacy work must be related to family planning and/or reproductive health.
- Youth-led organizations must be based in a low- or lower-middle-income country, according to the World Bank country classifications.
- Preference will be given to youth-led organizations from countries in Africa and Asia.
- Individuals and government organizations/agencies are not eligible to apply.
