Communication
About the project
This project aims to improve the infrastructure in eight provinces of Turkey—Adıyaman, Kilis, Gaziantep, Mersin, Mardin, Malatya, Şanlıurfa, and Hatay. Managed by ILBANK and funded through a combination of EU grants and AFD loans, its main objective is to enhance living conditions by improving access to water, sanitation, and solid waste services, thereby benefiting both local communities and Syrians under Temporary Protection (SuTP).

Tandans Data Science Consulting has been pivotal in developing a comprehensive Communication and Visibility (C&V) Strategy for this project. Our services involve detailed field visits across the targeted provinces to gather insights and data, which inform the SWOT analyses and strategic recommendations. These visits also serve to understand the communication dynamics and infrastructure needs at a local level. We also prepared the Terms of Reference (ToR), which serves as a detailed guideline that outlines the specific tasks, responsibilities, and expectations for all parties involved in implementing the communication strategy for the project.
Conducted extensive fieldwork including focus group discussions and key informant interviews to understand local needs, communication preferences, and awareness levels about ongoing projects.
Based on the field data, Tandans formulated a C&V strategy that addresses both general and specific objectives tailored to the unique dynamics of each province. This strategy focuses on enhancing visibility, improving stakeholder engagement, and ensuring effective information dissemination about the project’s impacts and benefits.
Performed comprehensive SWOT analyses to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to the project in each province, providing a critical foundation for the tailored communication strategies.
The ToR includes comprehensive details such as the scope of work, objectives, and deliverables of the communication strategy, ensuring that all activities align with the overall goals of enhancing visibility and engaging stakeholders effectively. It also sets the standards for monitoring and evaluation, providing clear criteria for measuring the impact of the communication efforts. This structured approach facilitates a transparent and efficient execution of the strategy, ensuring that the project’s communication goals are met successfully.
