FilmAid in Sudan
Starting in 2010 FilmAid has partnered with Mercy Corps in support of their project, “Localizing Institutional Capacity in Sudan” (LINCS), funded by USAID. The program is being implemented across southern Sudan and the three transitional areas. It is designed to support the development of civil society organizations (CSOs).
The LINCS Program operates Resource Centers throughout Southern Sudan that provide direct support to CSO partners. Programs include computer training services, a community library and community hall for CSO partner meetings and trainings. The program encourages the dissemination of information through audio visual material at its center to benefit non-literate community members and marginalized groups that do not have access to conventional means of education.
FilmAid is providing a series of educational videos to the Resources Centers along with discussion guides, manuals and other accompanying tools. Where feasible, these materials will be translated into local languages.
