Tender Notice: Organisation: Hoffnungszeichen | Sign of Hope e.V. www.hoffnungszeichen.de, www.sign-of-hope.org Position: Mid-term Evaluation Consultant Type of Contract: Short-term consultancy Location: Home-based with field mission travel to cross border areas of Southern Ethiopia (Borana and South Omo) and Northern Kenya (Turkana and Marsabit), Ethiopia and Kenya. Relevant Languages: English and Kiswahili or Amharic Application Deadline: 27th June 2025 Starting Date: 7th July 2025 Project Title: Capacity building for cross-border cooperation on food security, livelihoods and peacebuilding Total Project Budget: 1,333,333 Euros Hoffnungszeichen | Sign of Hope e.V. (SoH) is announcing an open tender procedure for consultancy services for a mid-term evaluation in Cross border areas of Southern Ethiopia (Borana and South Omo) and Northern Kenya (Turkana and Marsabit). Background and Rationale Hoffnungszeichen | Sign of Hope e.V. (SoH) is a Christian motivated organisation for Human Rights, Humanitarian Assistance and Development Cooperation. From its base in Constance, Germany, SoH is committed to helping those in distress and exploited people worldwide. This mid-term evaluation is commissioned under the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) budget for development projects run by private organisations. SoH is the private German executing agency and the contracting party, with Caritas Marsabit, Spiritan Community Outreach Ethiopia (SCORE), Diocese of Lodwar, and Coordination Office of the Social and Development Commission of the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC-SDCO) being the local implementing partners. The goal of this project is to contribute to food security and peaceful coexistence of agro pastoralists and pastoralists in the border region between Kenya and Ethiopia. The project targets hard to reach and marginalized Pastoralist and agro-pastoralists living in hard to reach cross border. Weak Humanitarian, Development and Peace (HDP) nexus characterize the area bordering Ethiopia and Kenya. The project will target 94,325 pastoralists and agro-pastoralist living in Marsabit and Turkana Counties (Kenya) and South Omo and Borana zone (Ethiopia). As a result, the marginalized and hard to reach pastoralists and agro pastoralists living across the border are characterized by chronic humanitarian conditions that are further exacerbated by poor/lack of developmental initiatives compounded by chronic resource (pasture and water) based conflicts leading to loss of lives and livelihood, limited capacity and coordination among partners across the border and climate related shocks. There is persistent and unacceptably high food and nutrition insecurity, poor livelihood options and social (health and education) services, as well as poor livestock marketing and limited financial services. Also, 85% of the population in 1the target areas live on a below average annual income. The area is being affected by recurring drought due to both natural disasters (climate change-induced) and man-made (overgrazing, and deforestation for firewood and charcoal). To address these interrelated factors the project will undertake a baseline study, develop and strengthen cross border coordination for HDP triple nexus actors, establish and/or strengthen multi-level peace building and advocacy structures, promotion of natural resource management (rangeland management, soil and water conservation measures), promotion of livelihoods (provision of water for production, climate smart agriculture, value addition and market promotion). Purpose, Objectives and Use The purpose of the evaluation is to provide SoH , SCORE, Caritas Marsabit, ECC-SDCO and Diocese of Lodwar with a comprehensive assessment of the project, conducted systematically and impartially, as well as analyse (mid-term) the progress towards the achievement of the project’s results and identify risks to sustainability. The study will provide concrete, credible and practical recommendations that will assist with the timely incorporation of the findings into the decision-making process and contribute to the organisational learning of both implementing organisations and SOH. The study will support the project quality assurance measures implemented by SoH and meet the donor requirements towards the development projects implemented by German private organisations. The evaluation will address evaluation questions based on the standard OECD/DAC evaluation criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact (please see http://www.oecd.org/development/evaluation/daccriteriaforevaluatingdevelopmentassistance.ht m). The objectives of the evaluations are to: a) Assess the extent to which the project has sustainably achieved its objectives and results (see annexe 1), including project progress against the set targets and extent to which the lives of the project beneficiaries have been improved, b) Identify the strengths and weaknesses in terms of planning, management, implementation and monitoring of the project, c) Evaluate sustainability measures, d) Identify cross-cutting issues addressed through the project, including gender equality, human rights, marginalised groups, inclusion, and other issues, f) Document lessons learned that could contribute to the improvement of the design of future projects.

CONSULTANCY: REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT OF 3 ASRHR ADVOCACY TRAINING MODULES

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 13:28:09 +0000

TERMS OF REFERENCE CONSULTANCY: REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT OF 3 ASRHR ADVOCACY TRAINING MODULES 1. Background The Center for Reproductive Rights (the Center) is the premier global legal advocacy organization using the power of law to advance reproductive rights as fundamental human rights around the world. Headquartered in New York City, the non-profit, non-partisan organization has regional offices in Bogota, Geneva, Kathmandu, Nairobi, and Washington, DC; a staff of approximately 200 diverse professionals; an annual budget of approximately $40 million with an additional $22 million in donated services from leading law firms around the globe. The Center's game-changing litigation and advocacy work, combined with its unparalleled expertise in constitutional, comparative, and international human rights law, have transformed how reproductive rights are understood by courts, governments, and human rights bodies worldwide. It has played a key role in securing landmark legal victories in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the United States on issues including access to life-saving obstetrics care, contraception, safe abortion services, and comprehensive sexuality information, as well as the prevention of forced sterilization and child marriage. It has brought groundbreaking cases before national courts, U.N. Committees, and regional human rights bodies, led the development of historic, proactive legislation advancing robust protections for reproductive rights, and has built the legal capacity of women’s rights advocates in more than 60 countries. The Center operates its Africa regional program out of its Nairobi office, with program initiatives implemented in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Malawi, Zambia and Nigeria and regional advocacy work at the Africa Union with the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) and African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC). The strategies and interventions the Center deploys ensure people of all ages: Are legally entitled to comprehensive SRHR information and services, including access to safe abortion, contraception, and quality maternal health care. Are empowered to exercise and enjoy their sexual and reproductive rights in practice and to seek justice when they experience violations; and Are not restricted in their access to sexual and reproductive health care by legal and regulatory barriers, inadequate health and judicial systems, and a backlash against reproductive rights 2. Rationale With the support of Global Affairs Canada, and in a partnership with CARE Canada, the Center for Reproductive Rights and other organizations are implementing a 7-year program in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia to improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health services and rights. Known as “SHE SOARS”—the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Economic Empowerment, Supporting Out-of-School Adolescent Girls’ Rights and Skills project—the program intends to directly support over 240,000 adolescent girls, including over 200,000 out-of-school girls. The target areas of SHE SOARS are refugee and host communities in Uganda; urban informal settlements in Kenya; and rural settings in Zambia. The Center leads activities to improve the effectiveness of women and girl’s rights organizations to advocate for evidence-based, accountable, and equitable adolescent SRHR policies, legal frameworks and services. The goals of this work are to reduce the barriers girls face when accessing care and to create stronger social, legal, and economic support systems for out-of-school girls. Objective of the consultancy The main objective of this consultancy is to review, develop and submit three comprehensive training modules that will serve as a reference tool for NGOs and CSOs as they implement training activities related to SRHR advocacy in Africa. The modules will be used as both reference tools and facilitator’s guide during SRHR related training by NGOs and CSOs.

Terms of Reference (ToR) for Baseline Study – Sheria Ya Vijana! Project

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 13:24:56 +0000

Abstract This Terms of Reference serve as a request for proposals from consultant(s)/agency interested in conducting a baseline study for the Sheria Ya Vijana! project co-funded by the European Union with Barnfonden acting as lead organization/Coordinator. The projects’ overall objective is to strengthen the capacity and voice of Kenyan civil society as independent actors of accountability, governance and development in the areas of social and economic inclusion for youth in Kenya. The purpose, scope, and requirements of the task are herein explained. Background Country Kenya Contracting authority Barnfonden (ChildFund Sweden) Country background Kenya is a youthful nation with 75% of its 47.6 million population under the age of 35. Despite this demographic advantage, youth unemployment and underemployment remain significant challenges, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women and people with disabilities. The socio-economic landscape is characterized by high barriers to meaningful employment and limited participation in social and political dialogue. The country is increasingly recognizing the importance of transitioning towards a sustainable green and digital economy to address these issues. The Intervention to be evaluated The intervention, titled "Sheria Ya Vijana! Empower, Engage, and Connect young people to lead the twin green and digital transition in Kenya," aims to empower Kenyan youth by enhancing their knowledge, leadership, and participation in policy design. The project is supported by a consortium of seven Civil Society Organizations, including Barnfonden, and focuses on capacity building, mentoring, and creating opportunities for youth to engage in the green and digital economies. Current situation in the sector Youth in Kenya face significant challenges in accessing employment and participating in the economy, with 70% of the youth population experiencing barriers to meaningful employment. The existing hubs and empowerment projects often fail to provide long-term support, mentorship, or market access, resulting in sporadic and unregulated youth work. There is a lack of localized and contextualized training tools for social enterprise and advocacy in the green and digital economy, which hinders the growth and sustainability of youth-led initiatives. Intervention activities The intervention includes several key activities: capacity building and training on digital literacy, sustainability, and leadership; enhancing the TVET curriculum to include green and digital skills; establishing Green and Digital economy apprenticeship hubs for mentorship and incubation; and supporting/promoting youth-led policy forums for social and political dialogue. The project also focuses on supporting youth-led social enterprises through incubation, capacity building, and financial support, and engaging policymakers to create a conducive environment for the green and digital transition. Contribution to SDGs The intervention contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including: SDG 4: Quality Education – by providing youth with education and skills for green and digital economies. SDG 5: Gender Equality – by promoting equal opportunities, particularly for women and marginalized groups. SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – by creating employment in sustainable and digital sectors. SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – by fostering innovation through digital and green technologies. SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – by supporting the inclusion of marginalized groups like youth with disabilities. SGD11 : Empowering youth to drive inclusive urban development, civic engagement, and sustainable infrastructure in their communities. SDG 13: Climate Action – promoting green transitions and climate resilience through sustainable practices. Sheria Ya Vijana Project summary Sheria Ya Vijana! is a multi-year initiative funded by the European Union under the theme ‘Engaging, empowering and connecting Kenyan youth’. It is implemented by Barnfonden and six consortium partners across Nairobi (3 sub counties) and Kwale (6 sub counties) Counties.

Learning and Engagement Consultancy

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 14:15:00 +0000

Consultancy: Learning and Advocacy Support for the Project "Strengthening social cohesion by promoting inclusive and effective governance of the public health sector in Guinea Bissau." Country: Guinea-Bissau, with remote contribution from the consultant Application deadline: 06/30/2025 Introduction Interpeace is an international peacebuilding organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. It aims to strengthen the capacity of societies to manage conflict non-violently and non-coercively, by assisting national actors in their efforts to develop social and political cohesion. Interpeace also strives to help the international community (and in particular the United Nations) play a more effective role in supporting peacebuilding efforts around the world, through a better understanding and ability to address the challenges of building local capacities that strengthen social and political cohesion. For more information on Interpeace, please visit www.interpeace.org. Context In the last two decades, Guinea-Bissau has faced significant political unrest, with successive coups d'état and recurrent confrontations between the political authorities and the army, as well as within the political sphere. State dysfunction has a significant negative impact on wider society, as well as on international support for civil society, preventing peace-building and sustainable development. The overall mission of Interpeace's country program in Guinea-Bissau is to contribute to the re-appropriation of a more inclusive and reliable social contract, fostering a more peaceful society. To achieve this goal, and ensure the relevance and ownership of processes and results, Interpeace works closely with Voz di Paz, an independent Guinea-Bissau non-governmental organization dedicated to peacebuilding, involving both citizens and national institutions. The program is based on three fundamental pillars guiding activities: the creation of more inclusive and accessible basic social services, the establishment of more informed and effective conflict prevention and management processes, and finally, the strengthening of a more solid accountability relationship between institutions and citizens, with a particular focus on youth and women. This Interpeace project is implemented in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and with the support of the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (UN PBF). The main objective of this project, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, is to strengthen social cohesion by promoting inclusive and effective governance within the public health sector, enabling constructive dialogue between the government, health professionals and citizens. Interpeace's intervention focuses on the development of a participatory study on health governance (Health Barometer), creating the conditions for the elaboration of policies and programs capable of responding to citizens' needs. By strengthening dialogue between government, trade unions and healthcare workers, Interpeace aims to create the conditions for a more harmonious relationship leading to shared and inclusive public health management practices. Mission objectives and deliverables Interpeace is looking to hire a consultant to conduct a capitalization analysis on the results, approaches and methodologies of the project "Strengthening social cohesion by promoting inclusive and effective governance of the public health sector in Guinea-Bissau". Ideally, the assignment will begin in early September. Based on project documents, previous reports, and interviews with key informants, the consultant will be tasked with drafting a Positioning Paper. This document will aim to: to illustrate the practical implementation of the Health for Peace approach using concrete examples drawn from the project's experience, while highlighting the institutional challenges overcome or still to be overcome; to produce evidence of the impact on health and peace; highlight the added value of this approach and formulate recommendations based on the lessons learned during project implementation and the results obtained. Responsibilities and deliverables Review of various project documents and reports. Develop and socialize a questionnaire for the project team for outcome harvesting Analyze the results from the outcome harvesting to identify lessons learned and good practices and produce recommendations with the project team. Produce a Position Paper to engage partners at national and international levels based on the lessons learned and results of the Guinea-Bissau project. The document will capitalize on the results and lessons learned from the project with relevant recommendations for future projects, showing the added value of the integrated Health for Peace approach. Profile of the consultant required Master's degree or equivalent in peace studies, social or political sciences or other relevant fields; Proven expertise in advocacy, evaluation, and learning in peace and development capitalization programs Excellent writing, synthesis, communication, and facilitation skills Good understanding of the Bissau-Guinean context Good language skills in English, Portuguese would be appreciated How to apply Interested candidates (or teams of candidates) are requested to submit their application by 30/06/2025 via : waguih@interpeace.org with cc to tapsoba@interpeace.org The title "Consultancy – Evidence Based Learning and Advocacy for Health for Peace in Guinea Bissau" MUST appear in the subject line of the e-mail. Please attach the following documents: CV; A note explaining your understanding of the mission, as well as the proposed methodology and planning; the consultant is free to propose other methodologies than the ones listed earlier. A financial offer ; At least 1 example of a deliverable similar to those requested, produced as part of a previous project.

UNFPA promotes gender equality and empowers women, girls and young people to take control of their bodies and their futures. UNFPA works with governments and partners to achieve three transformative results: ending unmet need for family planning, ending preventable maternal deaths, and ending gender-based violence and harmful practices. The National Strategic Plan on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (NSP-GBVF) represented the culmination of a social compact between government, civil society, private sector, labor and development partners to support South Africa with efforts towards ending GBVF. As such, the NSP articulates a comprehensive theory of change for the national response to GBV, outlining multi-stakeholder roles and responsibilities across six pillars in the implementation of the plan. The Presidency has identified the need for a comprehensive evidence-informed analysis of government resource allocation and expenditure of related interventions in the implementation of the NSP-GBVF. Specific evidence needs have been identified in the following: The development of a gender-tagging methodology that will guide the production of scripts for government departments reporting on the NSP-GBVF, as part of the accountability framework. This is expected to enable longer-term tracking of GBVF expenditure in the national budget. A gender-responsive budget analysis and comprehensive expenditure review of the NSP-GBVF in the last 5 years; and Both streams of work are under the direct leadership of the Department of Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation (DPME) (DPME) - which is the convener of the NSP-GBVF Pillar 6 (Research and Information Systems) - and guided by the National Treasury in undertaking Expenditure Reviews for the public sector. How you can make a difference: UNFPA is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.

Scope of Work: (Description of services, activities, or outputs) Under the overall leadership of the Presidency of South Africa, and direct guidance and oversight from DPME, UNFPA is seeking an Individual Consultant to support the work on both streams: Stream 1: Gender-Responsive budget analysis and expenditure review, with focus on the NSP-GBVF Conduct a detailed analysis of the South African National Budget and departmental expenditures that contributed (directly or indirectly) to the implementation of the National Strategic Plan on GBV and Femicide in the last 5 years. The analysis will take into account budgets and expenditures incurred by all the departments responsible for implementing NSP-GBVF interventions, as categorized by the Presidency (core; fundamental, peripheral and integrated service points). Within each department, the consultant will analyze resource allocation and expenditure data that are linked to gender or GBV at program and lower “sub-program” levels. Based on this selection, the consultant will conduct an analysis of spending patterns, size, composition, adequacy, equity, efficiency and transparency of spending in the relevant sectors and programs; produce analyses of GBVF expenditure data scripts and 'time series' for trend analysis and deep dives for each identified category of the required departments; and derive practical recommendations that can inform and make financial decision-making processes better respond to the needs and targets outlined in the NSP-GBVF. Stream 2: Technical assistance for the development of a GBVF tagging methodology and finalization of a dedicated budget tracking tool (GBV-tagging script) To enable sustained monitoring and accountability of allocations and expenditures undertaken by the various departments to implement the NSP-GBVF, the consultant is also expected to develop a dedicated tracking tool, in close collaboration with DPME and the NT. The tracking tool will take the form of a GBV-tagging script, which will enable the extraction of relevant data and indicators linked to the NSP-GBVF from public accounting systems.

Development of Minimum Standards for Shelter Operators, Lagos, Nigeria

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 12:07:16 +0000

Development of Minimum standards for shelter operators in Nigeria. Lagos, Nigeria Job Description Project Context and Scope Providing shelter services to vulnerable migrants in Nigeria, including survivors of gender-based violence, victims of trafficking, unaccompanied children, and those with mental health needs, is essential in ensuring comprehensive protection assistance. Despite the efforts of various organizations and government bodies, there is still a significant gap in standardized services for shelters to meet the needs of vulnerable migrants while respecting the minimum standards of quality and dignity. In 2023, the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (FIIAPP) supported the Nigerian government through NAPTIP in 2023 to develop minimum standards guidelines for shelter service providers rendering services to victims of trafficking. However, the existing guidelines do not address the standards of services for other migrants in vulnerable situations including unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), survivors of Gender Based Violence (GBV), persons with disabilities and persons with mental health concerns thereby leading to inconsistency in service provision. Establishing these minimum standards for shelter providers in Nigeria is essential for ensuring consistent and high-quality service delivery to these migrants in vulnerable situations and will address the specific requirements for all categories. As well as aligning shelter services with global core humanitarian standards [1] and best practices. These minimum standards will also ensure that shelters incorporate a mental health and psychosocial approach by offering trauma-informed care, providing access to psychological support and counseling from qualified professionals for those requiring specialized assistance. This will foster a safe and supportive environment for all migrants in vulnerable situation as well as ensuring quality in service provision, facilities and respect for human rights. IOM is implementing a project that will contribute to this initiative, titled “The global Cooperation on Migration and Partnerships for Sustainable Solutions (COMPASS), funded by the Netherlands. This project aims to support the rehabilitation of returning migrants and strengthen coordination platforms at both national and state levels. By supporting the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and other relevant stakeholders in developing the minimum standards for shelter providers in Nigeria, the protection of migrants in vulnerable situation in need of shelter will therefore be improved. Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing Migrant Protection and Assistance Department Responsibilities Tasks to be performed under this contract The consultant's overall objectives include the development of minimum standards that align with both national and international best practices and available documents to ensure shelters provide a safe and secure environment for survivors of GBV and other migrants in vulnerable situations; and to establish a framework that standardises shelter practices to ensure uniformity in the quality of care and support provided taking into account the shelter minimum standards developed by FIIAPP for VoTs.
