Context

CCID seeks to strengthen its digital advocacy and youth engagement by using TikTok and other short-form video platforms to stimulate public conversations on sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender-based violence, consent, girls’ agency, positive masculinities, mental health, drug abuse, online safety, and harmful social norms. In Cameroon, many young people receive limited, judgmental, or inaccurate information on these issues, while digital platforms have become powerful spaces where youth learn, debate, imitate behaviours, and shape attitudes. This assignment will support CCID to develop and implement a 12-month TikTok and short-form video advocacy strategy that uses popular culture, storytelling, film and television references, original skits, voiceovers, captions, youth-friendly explainers, and conversation prompts to make sensitive issues more relatable, accessible, and engaging. The volunteer will help CCID create ethical, survivor-centred, rights-based, and culturally relevant content that does not simply repost copyrighted material, but transforms it through education, commentary, reflection, and advocacy to drive dialogue, challenge harmful norms, increase CCID’s visibility, and build an informed online community of young people committed to gender justice and SRHR.

Task Description

CCID seeks to strengthen its digital advocacy presence, particularly on TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts, by using popular culture, storytelling, youth-friendly messaging, and short-form video content to stimulate public conversation around issues affecting adolescent girls, young women, boys, men, survivors of violence, and marginalized communities. This assignment will support CCID to develop and implement a structured 12-month short-form video advocacy calendar using carefully selected scenes from films, television, public conversations, interviews, dramatized skits, original CCID content, and youth-generated stories.
