Antecedentes
Cambodia is facing mounting development challenges due to climate change. The observed longer dry seasons and shorter, more intense rainy seasons have become a common observation in Cambodia. In addition, climate change exacerbates the frequency and severity of natural hazards (such as floods and droughts), as well as impacts the agricultural production which is dependent on seasonal rainfall. Recovery from such events puts strain on the least developed country’s limited resources and forces shifts in development priorities - hindering Cambodia’s ability to progress and to achieve its development goals.
The Early Warning System (EWS) is one of the priorities of the Royal Government of Cambodia’s (RGC). The purpose of an EWS is to monitor climate and environmental data on a real-time basis, detect adverse trends and conduct reliable predictions of possible impacts in the form of early warning information. An early warning therefore refers not only to advisories in emergency situations, but also to information related to the changing climatic trends revealed after tracking and analyzing climate and weather data over time. An effective EWS would thus enable timely response to natural hazards and extreme weather events, to support the implementation of the risk-informed development.
The project “Strengthening climate information and early warning systems in Cambodia to support climate resilient development and adaptation to climate change” (henceforth “the EWS project”) has been designed to assist the Government in achieving the early warning system gaps and challenges in the country. The project seeks to address the current barriers through three complementary outcomes:
1. Increased institutional capacity to assimilate and forecast weather, hydrological, climate and environmental information.
2. Climate and weather information available and utilized for national, sectoral and sub-national planning as well as for transboundary communication in the region.
3. Strengthened institutional capacity to operate and maintain EWS and climate information infrastructure, both software and hardware, in order to monitor weather and climate change.
To meet the above three outcomes, the approach adopted by the project is to 1) invest in early warning infrastructure – hydro and meteorology stations nationwide; 2) mobilize technical expertise to enhance capacity of national entities (namely MOWRAM, NCDM, and MAFF) in making use of the information; and 3) ensure the smooth flow of information sharing both at national level and between national and provincial level.
The climate information and early warning infrastructures have been installed by the project. Accordingly, the project is now looking for a Videographer consultant to create short videos communicating the work of UNDP on provision of climate data in Cambodia, through the EWS project of UNDP.
Deberes y responsabilidades
The consultant will provide videography service to Early Warning Team at UNDP Cambodia. Over 40 working days, the Videographer is to plan and produce two short 3-4 minute videos with accompanying 30-second ‘teasers’ for social media, three short Champions stories and to deliver raw footage and photos captured during filming.
The consultant is expected to work with the EWS project team, the Communication Specialist to storyboard and script each of the two short videos.
The process will then include capturing:
Interviews of key stakeholders (UNDP Cambodia, Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) and National Committee for Disaster Management.
Video footage of the process of generation of climate data and information (hydrological and meteorological), including video shoot of the data generation.
Interviews with 4-6 key stakeholders from MOWRAM and community members (TBC).
