Materials
To deploy Indaba in the field, you will require a variety of physical materials. Below are ready-to-download versions which you can print yourself.
Some of these documents are provided as templates so that you can adjust to your own context, or in some circumstances you might want to adjust existing resources, in situations such as:
- Translation of content into a new language
- Refinement of tags used to match your workflow
new Socially Distanced Deployments
We have produced an additional guide which you can use to help you plan and facilitate the Indaba process in situations that are socially/physically distanced.
Full bleed print versions and InDesign Files available.
Training Manual
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have developed the following training manual which explains the Indaba process, the various contexts where it has been carried out, its different phases, and the tools and resources needed to run an Indaba participatory video initiative for monitoring and evaluation and/or other contexts.
Information Pamphlet
This pamphlet is designed to give an outline of the Indaba process for high-level information only. To be printed on A4 and folded into a tri-fold (1) booklet.
Full bleed print versions and InDesign Files available.
Example Consent Form
Consent forms need to be adjusted to any specific deployment. Never just use these without first adjusting them you both your requirements and your community. Do be aware of both the communities literacy level, and the need to clearly explain your consent procedure verbally as well as through a consent form.
There is often a difference between a media release and a research consent form, as these might cover different parts of the media generated by the community. You may need a combination of the two.
Stickers
Stickers are used to link together paper based activities with digital processes to aid understanding and transparency in the process.
They can be printed on standard layout printer label sheets for easy use.
Pocket Guide
The pocket guide is a pocket-size booklet designed to be given to volunteers in the field to aid them in the process. Each page in the guide responds to a step in the process, and includes simple reminders on key elements and activities that need to be performed.
Full bleed print versions and InDesign Files available.
Story Cards
Depending on the Ideation process you choose to adopt, you may wish to use the Ideation cards with the community.
To print these yourself on a normal A4 printer, use the following files. These should be printed duplex and multipage to achieve the correct back-to-front results.
Cards are also available in large format. These are designed to be printed on single pages and folded in the center.
Full bleed print versions and InDesign Files available.
Dice
Depending on the Ideation process you choose to adopt, you may require shaped dice to help configure the cards with the community.
They are available at a number of online retailers such as:
