In Kenya, Oxfam works with others to alleviate poverty and inequality. We work with the most vulnerable communities in the dry and remote northern regions, and in the impoverished slums of the capital, Nairobi. In Kenya, the highest poverty levels are in the northern pastoralist districts - in some areas 95% of people fall below the poverty line. Like ...
BACKGROUND
The gap between rich and poor is destabilising African societies. Its fuelling conflict, violent extremism, and harming poverty reduction and development efforts in Africa. Women and girls are affected disproportionately as they continue to spend millions of hours on unpaid labour (time spent caring for children, the elderly and the sick; cooking, cleaning, and collecting water and firewood) because of poor government fiscal policy choices and unjust societal norms which continues to limit their opportunity to escape poverty and live a dignified life.
Oxfam’s 2019 Global inequality report titled: ‘Public Good or Private wealth?’ demonstrated the power of universal health, education and other public services in reducing the gap between rich and poor, and between women and men and how a fairer taxation of the wealthiest can help pay for these services. To stop inequality from pulling us apart, Oxfam called on all governments to set concrete, timebound targets and action plans to reduce inequality as part of their commitments under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10 on inequality.
With inequality reaching levels not seen for a century there is a need for urgent action, but there is already cause for optimism. Around the world, extraordinary people are fighting inequality - from women garment workers in Bangladesh factories fighting for the living wage; to youth activists in Zambia fighting for mining companies to pay their fair share of tax that funds public schools and health clinics; to indigenous communities fighting to prevent fossil fuel companies destroying their land.
The Fight Inequality Alliance is building a global movement to challenge privilege, counter the excessive concentration of power and wealth in the hands of small elites, and advance a more just, equal and sustainable world. The alliance is helping to break this cycle of extreme concentration of power and wealth and catalyse a renewed virtuous cycle primarily by strengthening and deepening people’s power. Real, systemic change to tackle the causes of inequality will only come from organising power from below and across borders.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE
Oxfam seeks to engage a consultant, company or organization to produce inspirational video clips demonstrating how citizens in Africa are taking action against rising inequality and how government policy choices are further marginalizing the poorest especially women and girls. The video clips will be used for citizens mobilisation and organising across Africa and as a tool for raising awareness on the growing inequality. It will also be used as advocacy and influencing tool targeting policy makers and rights holders at national, regional and continental levels on the need to invest in accessible, quality and gender responsive public services. The clips will also be used to highlight the scourge of inequality and how citizens are taking ground up action to fight it.
