Request for Proposal For Podcast On Accountability For Atrocities Perpetrated In Yarmouk Camp

Request for proposals for Podcast on Accountability for Atrocities Perpetrated in Yarmouk Camp. Closing Date: 28 Feb 2026 Type: Consultancy Inform the people of Yarmouk Camp and people displaced from Yarmouk Camp about accountability processes related to atrocities perpetrated there, while also providing them with a platform to express their views on justice and accountability for these crimes. To this end, the contractor(s) should create an Arabic-language podcast with decent production quality, with episodes shareable through social media, including Facebook. The podcast should ensure accuracy of information provided, be accessible and understandable to average people, be able to find expert answers to questions raised by the audience, and provide listeners with possibilities to express their opinions on justice and accountability. It should engage audiences in creative or innovative ways to share information and encourage interaction. It should have a clear approach for ensuring the content is trauma-sensitive and survivor-centered. Timeline is starting as soon as possible, through the end of September 2026. Partners The Center for Victims of Torture will conceive and launch this project together with affected individuals, community organizations, and Syrian civil society organizations. An advisory board of 4-6 individuals will provide guidance and feedback on the project. CVT is supporting Syrian-led legal organizations to monitor the Yarmouk-focused trials in Sweden and Germany, and these reports can inform trial updates provided by the podcast. CVT can facilitate the involvement of various Syrian and international justice and accountability experts to provide expert answers in response to listener questions. Format Some episodes provide factual background and updates on the trials in easy, accessible language. Some episodes respond to listener questions that are submitted through social media or by email or text, with contributions from Syrian and international experts on justice and accountability provided through pre-recorded phone interviews. Some episodes may cover thematic topics (certain crimes, legal concepts, meaning of justice for people in Yarmouk, including justice beyond formal legal proceedings, etc.) Some episodes provide listener views on the Swedish and German trials, or issues of justice and accountability more broadly. Listeners may share their own experiences from the war in Yarmouk, with the producers and hosts giving due consideration to avoiding allegations made against individuals not already mentioned in public investigative or prosecution reports, and to avoiding the retraumatization of listeners (see section on risks, below). Listener views can be submitted by internet or phone. Length and frequency: Episodes may vary in length with factual updates and thematic explorations probably provided in longer episodes and the other two kinds of episodes shorter (depending on how much listener engagement there is). Minimum of two episodes per month, aiming for weekly episodes if possible. Considerations and Criteria Applications should reflect an understanding of the goals of this project and should consider the following risks and assessment criteria. Risks to consider and mitigate: Cant be boring. The host or hosts need to have engaging personalities. Poor technical quality. The contractor or contractors must be able to guarantee good production value so that episodes are easily understood and inviting. Smears and misinformation. The podcast must not become a platform for spreading unsubstantiated allegations against any specific individuals not already named in public justice proceedings (for ethical reasons and reasons of legal liability), or for spreading misinformation (although it may serve as a platform to engage with rumors or misinformation and provide facts). In submitting proposals, applicants will be asked to declare any existing relationships or prior work that may affect how people from Yarmouk will view their involvement. Too editorial. Producers and hosts should make people with differing views on justice and accountability issues feel comfortable expressing themselves. This is not a platform for them to editorialize on issues that may be divisive. Re-traumatization. Podcast must be trauma-informed, with producers and hosts in no circumstance conducting interviews or taking any other action that causes harm to survivors or victim families. Criteria in assessing proposals: Alignment of vision Knowledge of the Syria context Experience in podcasting, in Syria, and any previous work in Yarmouk Camp. Technical expertise (production, editing, hosting) Availability Neutrality and independence from any direct affiliation with an existing political party or civic organization in Syria Price Tender Link : https://reliefweb.int/job/4199250/request-proposals-podcast-accountability-atrocities-perpetrated-yarmouk-camp
