Mercy Corps, a global humanitarian organization, has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for a community needs assessment targeting farming communities. The assessment aims to gather qualitative and quantitative data to inform agricultural development programs. This call is notable for its explicit inclusion of photography and painting as disciplines, suggesting that visual documentation and creative expression are integral to the research methodology. The selected consultant or team will be responsible for designing and implementing the assessment, which likely involves fieldwork, stakeholder interviews, and participatory methods. While the RFP does not specify a fee or prize, it represents a paid consultancy opportunity. The integration of photography and painting indicates a desire to capture the lived experiences of farmers in a nuanced, visually compelling manner, potentially for advocacy or programmatic use. This opportunity is best suited for practitioners who can bridge social science research and visual arts. The curatorial vision appears to value community engagement and storytelling, with an emphasis on amplifying the voices of farmers. Artists with experience in documentary photography, participatory art, or visual anthropology may find this call particularly relevant.
