14th International Conference on AIDS and STIS in Africa 4-9 December 2005, Abuja, Nigeria
One strategy for integrating child participation into HIV/AIDS programming is to
provide Orphans and other Vulnerable Children (OVC) with the training, materials and
support to document their experiences. Documentary photography and video can inform
program design, complement advocacy efforts, enhance psychosocial support, develop
children’s capacities, and generate opportunities for peer education. However, in order
for participatory documentary projects to reach their potential, methodological and ethical
issues must be considered. This presentation highlights how these issues were addressed
in three participatory documentary projects undertaken by Catholic Relief
Services/Zimbabwe (CRS/ZW) and its partners. Based on these findings, the
presentation advocates for easy-to-use methodological and ethical guidelines that
organisations who undertake such projects can employ. It then recommends critical
components of these guidelines.
