USAID Call for Video Submissions: Social Media + Development

January 30, 2013 By fundsforngos

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is inviting you to showcase your work in using social media for development through video. USAID is participating in the Social Media Week 2013, scheduled February 17-22 in Washington to showcase the use of digital space for development. USAID will host several events during the week to contribute to the conversation and highlight how we rely on technology for a multitude of reasons, including program management and reporting, and general educational purposes for a range of projects, funded by USAID.

Your video should highlight a USAID-funded project or projects that use social media to further our collective development goals. Videos, of course, should be kid-friendly.

Be sure to include your organization’s name and your organization’s point of contact.

The top videos will be previewed at “#Popcorn + International Development”, followed by a short Q&A. We hope you will join us!

Non-selected videos may be compiled to a video stream and made available to the public through USAID’s YouTube channel, to encourage ongoing dialogue about social media and its role in international development.

The deadline to submit videos is 13 February 2013. For more information, visit this link.
