Recruitment of a Consultant to Produce a Documentary on the Impacts of Fluoride in the Mayo-Tsanaga Sub-basin, Cameroon

GWP-Cmr is looking for a production studio or producer/director to produce a documentary film in High Definition (HD) on fluorosis in Cameroon, highlighting its origins, impacts, partner’s involvement and potential remediation options with a focus on communities within the Mayo-Tsanaga Sub-Basin.

In order to achieve its vision of a "Water Secure Central Africa", GWP-CAf, through its Cameroon Country Water Partnership (GWP-Cmr) and UNICEF, implemented the project "Improving Climate Resilience - WASH Services in the Mayo Tsanaga Sub-basin through Pilot Initiatives" which highlighted sanitation and health problems, including groundwater pollution by fluoride which causes bone and dental fluorosis among children, young girls and men in the region.

Other studies have highlighted the psychosocial impact of dental fluorosis on gender in Meri district. These initiatives in the analysis of the issue of fluoride in the Mayo Tsanaga sub-basin have resulted in the first joint solutions between GWP-Cmr, UNICEF and partners (CEDC, ACEEN, IRGM) : a local gender sensitization and training on dental fluorosis to reduce the stigmatization of young girls and the manufacture of a prototype of a household fluoride filter.

 In order to share this new experience of action research for climate-resilient economic development in the region and to mobilize decision-makers, planners, technical and financial partners on the issue of fluorosis, GWP-Cmr has launched a call for consultation with a production studio or producer/director to lead and coordinate the production of this documentary.
