Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-Filmmaking?
Globally, it has been experienced that expectation and demand for good governance has been increasing day by day. In this connection ICTs are now beginning to transform and strengthen citizen's relationship with government in many developing and developed countries. However, in India the digital divide between rich and poor, elite and marginalized, urban and rural and men/boys and women/girls are a major challenge towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, new challenges like demonetization have also created new opportunities for the citizens as a result ICTs have been empowering millions of individuals to access banking services through numerous mobile banking applications. In social sector the organisations who are working towards empowerment of the marginalized and excluded citizens have now adopted the use of ICTs for the fulfillment of citizen's rights. But the engagement is very limited and top-down, hired or commissioned communication professionals/organisations working at national or state level to either showcase or develop advocacy products for the organization are neither cost effective nor provide any long term solution to the orgranisions. In due course the voice of the marginalized community loses its energy.
To bridge this gap organization like CHSJ which have the credibility of using bottom-up learning as its core value and practice to stand for social justice have piloted several training sessions on the use of ICTs with its network partners and other like-minded organisations from Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu for last four years. The outcome of the use of ICT is limitless. It has provided new opportunity to the community, practitioners and organizations to access grounded evidence and make more informed choice. Also it enables more efficient process and gives medium and voice to traditionally unheard people. As a result, this initiative has produced more than 40 skilled community practitioners working in the field of health, education, gender, violence and sanitation are engaged with various forms of ICTs such as using photostories and short films to amplify marginalized voice and advocate their rights.
