Portfolio Highlights

Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) Framework in Action Videos

This video series brings the IYCF-E Framework to life, an integrated approach to address malnutrition holistically. The Framework recognizes that in emergency settings, a child and mother’s wellbeing extends far beyond food: shelter, clean water, safety, vaccination, education, and healthcare all play a critical role. 
Leading the production included editorial planning, storyboarding, scripting, and hiring and managing the videography team. Fieldwork involved conducting interviews with clients and health providers on location in Bangladesh, overseeing the shot list and production schedule, and ensuring quality across the final deliverables.
