Media Organizer for Microentrepreneurship Awards Ceremony

BACKGROUND                                                                                                                                  
Microentrepreneurship Awards
Launched in 2005, the Microentrepreneurship Awards is a program implemented by Yayasan Mercy Corps Indonesia (YMCI) that aims at raise awareness on the importance of micro-entrepreneurship and microfinance in supporting the financial inclusion and economic empowerment of low-income individuals. It also aims to highlight the important role micro-entrepreneurs play and contribute in their local economies; catalyze innovations among microfinance institutions (MFIs) that will lead to an increase in their outreach and their micro-entrepreneur portfolios; and to leverage awareness of policy makers within the government of Indonesia towards enabling a supportive environment for micro-entrepreneurs through a conducive set of regulations.

For the 2017-2018 Awards (awarded in 2018), there are 9 awards, which are divided into 5 category awards, 3 special awards, and 1 award for the best MFI. 807 micro-entrepreneurs were nominated by the MFIs, after which the 807 nominees was shortlisted into 50 selected micro-entrepreneurs, and then further selection process will be conducted to select 20 micro-entrepreneurs which will be invited to attend a boot camp (business incubator) along with their MFI representatives. During the boot camp, the participants would be judged by a panel of juries to determine the winners of the 2017-2018 awards. The boot camp would be followed up with the awards ceremony event. The winners of the 2017-2018 Awards will receive a cash prize, a notebook, a smartphone, and also coaching and mentoring for two months to further develop their businesses.
An integral part of the program’s communication strategy is to maximize outreach and visibility of the awards, including in mainstream media. To ensure that the program could achieve this goal, the program team has determined that it would be necessary to work with a Media Organizer that will be responsible of handling all media advocacy and mobilization efforts for the Awards Ceremony.
