About TIMRAN

TIMRAN is an indigenous, nonpartisan, not-for-profit women’s rights civil society organization established in March 2020 with the objective of enhancing women’s participation in key socio-political decision-making processes. TIMRAN’s vision is to see Ethiopia as a country where women take their legitimate space in the public decision-making arena and the nation’s political affairs. Our mission is to work towards the enhancement of Ethiopian women’s active engagement in political and public leadership to ensure their constitutional right to equal participation in the nation’s political, social, and economic undertakings.

Project Background

TIMRAN, is a Secretariat Office to the Coalition for Women’s Voice in the National Dialogue (Coalition), which established three years ago in March 2022. The aim of the Coalition is to ensure women’s meaningful representation in the Ethiopian National Dialogue process and to ensure that the process responds to and addresses Ethiopian women’s needs, perspectives, priorities, and aspirations. With the support of IRISH AID the Coalition planned to make:

• One long documentary (Max. One hour)
• One short documentary (Max. 15 minutes)

These will primarily be based on video footage and photo resources collected from all Ethiopian regions (except Tigray) with some additional inputs (including individual interviews from the Coalition Secretariat and leadership to get background or firsthand information) in the month of December 2025. However, the consultant should also anticipate the possibility of capturing additional footage if necessary, for example, for introductory and closing segments or to include perspectives from key individuals, to ensure the documentary is coherent and impactful.

Deliverables

• One long documentary (Max. One hour)
• One short documentary (Max. 15 minutes)
• Introductory and closing segments included
• High-resolution final versions in agreed formats
