Location: Turkana (Turkana-Omo borderlands), Kenya
International Alert is looking for an experienced videographer to collect in-depth impact stories from a peacebuilding project in the Turkana-Omo borderlands. The scope of work, expected deliverables, timeline and required qualifications are detailed in the full Terms of Reference. The successful candidate will be expected to work in line with International Alert's safeguarding, informed consent and do-no-harm requirements throughout the assignment.
The project relating to this consultancy is "Addressing the intersection of climate, conflict and gender equality in the Turkana-Omo borderlands." The project aims to strengthen gender-inclusive local institutions to manage transboundary conflict linked to climate risks affecting communities in the Turkana-South Omo borderlands of Kenya and Ethiopia. It is implemented in cross-border corridors including Turkana-Dassanech, Turkana-Nyangatom and Dassanech-Nyangatom.
The consultancy assignment will take a total of 18 working days (excluding travel days) between 7 October 2026 and 17 November 2026. This timeline reflects the vast geography of the Turkana-South Omo borderlands, the need to cover multiple corridors (Turkana-Dassanech and Turkana-Nyangatom), and the logistical complexities of cross-border travel, including potential delays due to security or weather conditions.
Salary: Competitive. Contract duration: 18 working days. Location: Kenya (Turkana-Omo borderlands). Closing date: 7 September 2026 (23:59 UK time).
