ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AND SCOPE
In support of institutionalizing and mainstreaming gender equality and women’s socioeconomic empowerment, the Federal Government of Somalia’s (FGS) Ministry of Women and Human Rights Development (MoWHRD) has developed a draft National Gender Empowerment Strategy (NGES).
To accomplish this, the MoWHRD consulted with various stakeholders including government officials, community representatives, women’s rights organisations, civil society organizations (CSOs) and international organizations. An implementation plan for the NGES has also been developed, identifying seven priority areas:
IOM Somalia has implemented a series of programmes aimed at providing sustainable socioeconomic opportunities for youth at risk and ex-combatants, including women. These programmes deliver skills-based training, rehabilitation, and reintegration support to these vulnerable populations, as well as provide capacity building support to federal and regional governments. IOM Somalia has thus been provided funding by AfDB to support the development and design of a comprehensive strategy document, including action plan, on the NGES priority area “Economic Empowerment”, which will be attached to the NGES as an annex. The selected Service Provider will develop this strategy document. The annex will clearly but not exclusively:
To accomplish this, the Service Provider will conduct a range of activities including a literature review and field research on the socioeconomic background of Somali women and current women’s empowerment operations, as well as provide context specific analysis encompassing the economic, social, and political context. Furthermore, the Service Provider will facilitate independent and group consultations amongst national and international stakeholders, with an aim to reach general consensus on the final strategic document.
Finally, the consultancy will also include a capacity building component, with the Service Provider leading a thorough training for government officials and other stakeholders on the newly developed strategy document once it has been completed and approved. Training will take place in Somalia at locations to be determined.
Responsibilities and Accountabilities
The Service Provider agents will report directly to the IOM DDR Project Manager (PM) under the general guidance of the IOM DDR Coordinator. The PM will provide some relevant background documents to supplement the Service Provider’s research. Otherwise, the Service Provider is expected to be able to work independently and support themselves. The key tasks of the Consultant will include:
