  • Consultant To Develop a Training Manual on Women’s Leadership & Participation in Humanitarian Action – Homebased

    Consultant To Develop a Training Manual on Women’s Leadership & Participation in Humanitarian Action – Homebased

    Background

    UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. In East and Southern Africa Region, UN Women maintains presence in 13 countries with programme presence in Somalia.

    The ESAR faces numerous humanitarian challenges ranging from prolonged droughts, cyclones/flooding, conflict induced displacement into refugee camps and internal displacement with huge impacts on communities particularly women and girls. COVID 19 outbreak has worsened the situation given the weak health systems and fragile livelihoods that women and girls depend on.

    Although women and girls are the majority recipients of humanitarian assistance, their role in decision making and leadership structures remains inadequate. In 2019, UN Women carried out a regional mapping of women’s organization engaged in humanitarian and DRR activities across the 13 countries. During the mapping, women organization raised a number of challenges that continue to hinder their effective engagement in humanitarian work such as inadequate funding; inadequate knowledge on how the humanitarian systems works; limited leadership skills; capacities of their staff to develop programmes and proposals that will attract donor funds; negative gender & social norms and perceptions around the leadership of women among others.

    As part of its humanitarian programmes at national level, UN Women is addressing the leadership challenge through various capacity building initiatives, including in IDP and refugee camps. However, there is no standardized common tool, manual and agreed structure for such trainings. To bridge the gaps identified in the 2019 of women’s organizations engaged in humanitarian and DRR activities across the ESA region, UNW seeks to improve knowledge and capacities of women and women’s organizations in humanitarian interventions areas such as needs assessment, planning and coordination processes.

    To achieve the above stated objectives, UN Women ESARO seeks the services of an international consultant to support in developing a standardized training approach for women to effectively participate, lead and influence humanitarian action.
