Terms of Reference: Production of a magazine and flyer
General context
Community-based sociotherapy, in Rwanda known as Mvura Nkuvure (heal me, I heal you), was introduced in Rwanda after the genocide against the Tutsi aiming to contribute to psychosocial wellbeing, as well as unity and reconciliation. The approach was developed in 2005 and implemented by the Eglise Anglicane du Rwanda (EAR), Byumba Diocese. It started on small scale, first in the northern part of the country and later in Bugesera District. Based on the remarkable outcomes of the approach and the engagement of local communities, the implementation was expanded in 2014 to eight more districts across the country.
In 2016, Community Based Sociotherapy Rwanda (CBS Rwanda) was established to consolidate the successes of the intervention and coordinate its expansion. Since 2018 CBS Rwanda is implementing the “Mvura Nkuvure: Intergenerational healing and community reconciliation for sustainable peace” project (Mvura Nkuvure project) with its partners EAR Byumba Diocese, Prison Fellowship Rwanda (PFR) and Duhumurizanye Iwacu Rwanda (DIR). As part of the Mvura Nkuvure project, CBS Rwanda and partners are organizing a three-day conference on 6 to 8 September 2022 at Serena Hotel in Kigali. The conference will bring together peacebuilding and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) actors, as well as researchers and scholars to discuss best practices in relation to integrated MHPSS and Peacebuilding approaches, milestones achieved and possible challenges in relation to the intergenerational legacies of the genocide and the psychosocial reintegration of prisoners.
To attain to the conference related communications goals, CBS Rwanda wishes to develop and produce a magazine which will be composed of the conference background and themes, different interviews, organizational milestones and project highlights.
CBS Rwanda will be fully responsible for collecting/gathering content, selecting photos and will provide guidance on the design to ensure that the organizational identity is taken into consideration.
