For
Post-monsoon photo documentation of model interventions under MGNREGA-EB Project

Background:
The MGNREGA-EB Project (Environmental Benefits through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in partnership with the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India and is being implemented by GIZ India for the duration 2013-2019. Apart from the national level, the project is operational in three States namely, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. The MGNREGA-EB project has a mandate to enhance Natural Resource Management (NRM) of public assets created through MGNREGA, their sustainable use and higher involvement of women in the planning and implementation, thus in the long term, to secure the livelihoods of the rural poor.

Over the past 5 years, the project has piloted and demonstrated innovative process and product interventions, of which the larger focus has been on enhancing water security, through conservation, harvesting and management mechanisms. A pre-monsoon photoshoot of the project interventions in all 3 States was done in June 2018. As most of the interventions include water harvesting structures, plantations and environment related works, post-monsoon photo documentation is required to show the clear impact of the interventions on land, water and vegetation in the rural areas. As the project is coming to a close in March 2019, the pre and post monsoon scenario put together, along with a narrative will help in showcasing the success story of the project.

Objective:
To create a digital photograph inventory and a photo based documentation of the project interventions in 6 districts across 3 States namely, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan during the post-monsoon season.

Tasks of the assignment:
In this context, the selected agency is expected to carry out following tasks:
1. To travel to the project locations in the 3 States and create a digital inventory including at least 30-40 print quality photographs of each of the 20 interventions, including different variety pictures including cover pictures, impactful portraits, decorative pictures etc.
2. To document the photographs along with suitable captions, brief text, quotes from stakeholders, and few case studies/ success stories from field in a narrative mode, thereby weaving a success story of every model intervention.
