AS THE MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES TO DRAW FOCUS AND POSE CHALLENGES GIVEN THE CURRENT CHAOS AND INSTABILITY, AND AS A FOLLOW UP TO THE MIDDLE EAST 2020 WHITE PAPER WHICH RECOMMENDS MORE EFFECTIVE OUTREACH EFFORTS TO RAISE AWARENESS ON THE U.S. GOVERNMENTS INVESTMENT IN THE REGION, THE MIDDLE EAST BUREAU IS INITIATING A NEW COMMUNICATION EFFORT. THIS EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON HIGHLIGHTING REGIONAL PRIORITY MESSAGES AND LAUNCHING A MULTI MEDIA CAMPAIGN THAT WILL TARGET LOCAL AUDIENCES. THIS EFFORT WILL BRING TOGETHER SEVERAL MISSIONS, WEST BANK AND GAZA, JORDAN, EGYPT, LEBANON, MOROCCO, AND THE MIDDLE EAST REGIONAL PLATFORM. COMBINING MESSAGING AND OUTREACH EFFORTS WITH RESOURCES WILL RESULT IN A CONSISTENT AND UNIFIED VOICE THAT TAPS SYNERGIES ACROSS MISSIONS, AND IDEALLY WILL RESULT IN GREATER IMPACT THAN INDIVIDUAL COUNTRY CAMPAIGNS. THE EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON PRODUCING CREATIVE CONTENT, VISUALLY ENGAGING PRODUCTS, AND MULTI MEDIA STORYTELLING. AS PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN THE MIDDLE EAST BUREAU HAS REQUESTED THAT THE WEST BANK AND GAZA MISSION, WHICH HAS VAST EXPERIENCE IN BUILDING MULTI MEDIA STORY TELLING CONTENT, WORK WITH OTHER MISSIONS IN THE REGION TO BUILD NEW COMMUNICATION PRODUCTIONS. AS A RESULT, ONE OF THE ACTIVITIES THE WEST BANK AND GAZA MISSION WILL TAKE THE LEAD ON, WORKING IN COORDINATION WITH THE MOROCCO MISSION, AND THE LEGISLATIVE AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS, IS NEW COMMUNICATIONS CONTENT THAT WILL HIGHLIGHT THE IMPACT OF USAID PROJECTS ON LOCAL RECIPIENTS. IN ORDER TO PRODUCE THIS NEW CONTENT, WE NEED TO PROCURE THE SERVICES OF A VIDEOGRAPHER PHOTOGRAPHER.
