<p>r4d program is inviting experienced filmmakers, film producers, or distribution companies to prepare idea notes for the second phase to produce short films with clear key messages to enrich concrete international development debates and tailored to specific target audiences in the 2030 Agenda realm.</p><p>The available budget for the second phase of the Digital Storytellers project is CHF 180&rsquo;000 and should enable the production of more than one short film by different filmmakers.</p><h3>Background:</h3><p>The Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d program) is a joint funding initiative by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The r4d program is aimed at researchers in Switzerland and in developing and emerging countries who wish to execute a joint research project on global issues. The program focuses on reducing poverty and protecting public goods in developing countries.</p><p><strong>This synthesis stream has two phases:</strong></p><ul><li>Participatory production of a collection of video-clips (2018-2020) that captures testimonies and contributions in achieving SDGs in r4d partner countries. Twenty-eight so-called Digital Storytellers (DST) individuals and teams participated in this phase, representing 16 r4d research projects. The product is a collection of 22 video-clips (3-6 minutes) and 18 short versions (1-2 minutes) used for dissemination via Twitter. All videoclips were produced based on footage collected by researchers during their fieldwork. Many of them filmed for the first time. All DST video-clips are published until the end of August 2020 on the Knowledge for Development platform of the r4d program, www.k4d.ch.&nbsp;</li><li>Production of short films (from 2021-TBD) with clear key messages to enrich concrete international development debates and tailored to specific target audiences in the 2030 Agenda realm.
