BACKGROUNDPublic understanding of the Internal Security Forces’ (ISF) mandate and responsibilities remains limited, often contributing to unrealistic expectations, misconceptions, and negative perceptions of the institution. These challenges have been further compounded by the conflict, Lebanon’s protracted multidimensional crises, and evolving displacement and return dynamics, which have placed additional demands on security institutions and heightened communities’ need for clear, reliable information and accessible public services.
To address these challenges, UNDP is supporting the ISF in strengthening public communication, community engagement, and institutional coordination, particularly in conflict-affected areas. This includes targeted awareness campaigns and capacity-building activities at the governorate level, engaging ISF stations and substations in coordination with the ISF Public Relations Department. These efforts aim to improve public understanding of the ISF’s mandate, clarify its roles and responsibilities in both routine and crisis contexts, and strengthen linkages with Disaster Risk Management (DRM) structures at national and sub-national levels. At the same time, they seek to reinforce ISF personnel’s understanding of their responsibilities in responding to evolving community needs, particularly in areas affected by displacement and return.
As part of these efforts, UNDP will support the Internal Security Forces (ISF) in developing a digital awareness campaign to inform the public about the ISF’s mandate, services, and available support mechanisms. The campaign will provide clear, accessible, and practical information on relevant procedures, official reporting channels, and sources of assistance. It will translate institutional information into engaging, audience-centered content that addresses communities’ information needs, clarifies common misconceptions, and facilitates access to reliable official information. The campaign will comprise three short, animated videos using a photocollage format, each addressing a specific thematic area related to the ISF’s mandate and community needs.
To this end, UNDP seeks to recruit a Creative Director to lead the creative conceptualization, development, and production of the three videos, ensuring a coherent visual identity, compelling storytelling, and clear, accessible messaging tailored to the target audiences and aligned with the campaign’s overall objectives.
