The International Rescue Committee is a global humanitarian aid, relief and development nongovernmental organization.
Consultancy Assignment: Study to Assess the Participation of Displacement Affected Women and Girls in Formal Decision Making Processes in Turkana and Garissa, Kenya.
Background:
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their lives. The IRC operates in more than 40 countries and has operated in Kenya since 1992, providing health care, women’s protection and empowerment, governance and rights, and nutrition services to hundreds of thousands of refugees and the Kenyan communities in Garissa, Turkana and Nairobi counties.
As a global leader in transforming the lives of women and girls, our programmes focus on prevention and response to violence against women and girls; narrowing the gender gap and ensuring the equality of women and girls so that all gender and age groups enjoy the same rights and opportunities. In Kenya, the IRC is implementing a 3-year project Addressing the Impact of Conflict and Displacement on Women and Girls to support communities affected by displacement to enhance the quality of participation of women and girls in formal socio-economic development processes. The project specifically targets refugees and host communities in Turkana and Garissa counties. It seeks to identify and support the development of replicable models for effective leadership and meaningful participation by displacement affected women and girls through advocacy in socio-economic development processes that affect their safety and wellbeing.
A consultant is required to establish the current status of women and girls’ inclusion in formal socio-economic decision making. By documenting and analyzing the current legal and policy framework and informal norms and practices around women’s engagement in socioeconomic development processes, the consultant will identify barriers, risks and opportunities. The findings will inform potential entry points for support towards building the capacity of women and girls to influence socio-economic development.
Scope of Work:
The analysis should provide qualitative information on the degree to which host and refugee women and girls participate in socio-economic development processes in Turkana and Garissa counties so as to identify priorities for capacity strengthening and advocacy for women’s socioeconomic inclusion. In this sense, the analysis should build on existing research and the current experiences of women and girls and should at a minimum meet the following criteria:
Deliverables:
Timeframe: The consultancy should not exceed 20 days of work.
