Background
In May 2008, USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives initiated a three-year program, the Northern Uganda Transition
Initiative (NUTI). NUT1 is implemented by Casals & Associates, Inc. (C&A) and aims to support the transition to peace
and recovery in northern Uganda.
One of NUTI’s program objectives is to “increase access to information on peace, recovery and development issues in Northern Uganda through support to the media and strategic communication activities.” For this purpose, NUTI intends to engage the services of a skilled and experienced Curator to work with C&A on a Short-Term Technical Assistance (STTA) contract.
The Curator will work in close collaboration with NUTI Contracted Professional Photographers, the Program Development Officer-Media & Communications, the Media and Communications Coordinator and the rest of the media team to assist in the planning/organization and running of a Photo Exhibition(s).
