Burkina Faso: Tender for Local Theater Group to Conduct 22 Forum-Theater Sessions
The SNV and AUXFIN consortium has secured funding from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) to implement the "Eau, CLE du Développement Durable WASH" (ECDD-WASH) project in Burkina Faso. This initiative aims to strengthen various institutions and organizations by enhancing their capacities and fostering collaboration. The project also seeks to improve their ability to involve the population in its activities. A tender has been issued to select a local theater troupe based in the Tannounyan region. This troupe will be responsible for organizing and conducting 22 forum-theater sessions as part of the project's implementation. The overall objective of the ECDD-WASH project is to benefit host communities, internally displaced persons, and students, among others, by improving water access and sanitation services and promoting sustainable development.
This tender represents a public call for proposals to engage local cultural actors in a development project. The use of forum-theater suggests a strategy to foster community dialogue and participation, potentially addressing complex social issues related to water, sanitation, and sustainable development. By contracting a local troupe, the project aims to leverage existing cultural understanding and networks for effective community engagement. Future iterations of such projects could explore standardized impact measurement frameworks for cultural interventions in development to better assess their contribution to project objectives and community well-being.
