Advocacy is a main pillar of the ASEP-CELLs project. This facilitates the information dissemination and knowledge management of research studies and activities conducted by the project.

As the third year of the project is navigating through the restrictions of the pandemic, visibility and advocacy will remain heavily digital. Following the social marketing activities for the new normal, the Project will communicate project outputs to its stakeholders through various online platforms. Investment in the content and online platforms should be taken into account.

One of the main communication outputs of the project will be a series of videos (10-15 minutes each) that will present the key accomplishments of each CELL and the project in whole. Production of these videos will be commissioned to local professional videographers.

Specifically, the objectives of the video production are to:

  1. Increase the visibility of the project through digital platform; and
  2. Develop high quality videos communicate the project’s key accomplishments to the stakeholders amid the ‘new normal’ setting.
