Context

The Community Centre for Integrated Development is implementing the “Her Peace, Our Peace — Women, Peace & Security Peace Huts in Idenau, Batoke and Penda Mboko” project. The project seeks to strengthen the agency, protection and meaningful participation of adolescent girls and young women in conflict-affected and underserved communities in Cameroon. It will do this through Peace Huts, psychosocial support, basic legal aid, referrals, intergenerational dialogues, male engagement, community outreach, and the training of Young Women Peace Ambassadors. To support community mobilisation, CCID needs simple, attractive and easy-to-understand communication materials that can explain the project’s key messages to different audiences. These audiences include adolescent girls and young women, survivors of gender-based violence, community members, traditional and religious leaders, young men and boys, service providers, local authorities and grassroots organisations. The assignment will support the development of content and design of brochures, infographics, posters, flyers, social media cards, factsheets, referral cards and other knowledge products. These materials will be used during Peace Hut activities, community sensitisation sessions, intergenerational dialogues, male engagement workshops, outreach campaigns, radio and social media engagement, and the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. The materials should help communities understand the links between the Women, Peace and Security Agenda, sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender-based violence prevention and response, survivor-centred support, positive masculinity, referral pathways, and women and girls’ participation in peacebuilding. The final products should be youth-friendly, culturally appropriate, non-stigmatising, survivor-centred and suitable for use in Cameroon’s community contexts. They should turn technical project language into simple messages that inspire awareness, dialogue, action and community ownership.
