About DMI

Development Media International (DMI) delivers mass media campaigns aimed at changing behaviours, promoting health and saving lives in developing countries. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours. DMI recently completed a 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Economic modelling indicates that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives.

DMI’s head office (DMI UK) is situated in East London, overlooking the Regent’s Canal. We have a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique, and Tanzania and also currently operate in Mauritania, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, and Chad. We are now expanding our operations in East and Southern Africa. We have two priorities: first, to continue to generate ground-breaking research (we are conducting another randomised control trial in Burkina Faso, this time to measure our impact on contraceptive uptake), second, to take these proven strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition and hygiene, and early childhood development.

DMI works in close partnership with leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund and the Mulago Foundation.

We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus between science and creativity. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm and willingness to learn from both our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. DMI is on the cutting edge of how international development should work by demonstrating that knowledge is not only a human right, but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective way. Our ethos is non-hierarchical: all our staff are intellectually high-powered and we have a “best idea wins” culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on improving lives in low-income countries.

DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by GiveWell and is endorsed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can, ImpactMatters and The Life You Can Save.

Since the early days of the African Union and the formation of the African Peace and Security Architecture, the African Union Commission (AUC) seeks to strengthen the civilian component of the African Standby Force through a number of measures. One key challenge has been to ensure that a sufficiently large pool of trained and experienced civilian personnel is available for deployment to Peace Support Operations (PSOs). For this reason, the AUC has been developing a roster management system that will serve the needs of all civilian deployments in Peace and Security Missions in cooperation with the RECs/ RMs.

By the end of 2014, the development of a new human resource policy and the database management system for managing rostering processes was completed. In addition, selection criteria and standards for recruitment of civilian personnel for the ASF on AUC and RECs/RM level has been developed. The roster was named the African Standby Capacity (ASC) and the official launch took place at the AUC in June 2015. Following the initial population phase of the roster, the AUC now seeks to further strengthen the civilian component of the ASF and the deployment conditions for African-led PSOs by: (i) creating a gender strategy for the ASC in order to guarantee a gender balance and create a gender-friendly environment for deployment, (ii) further refining its Duty of care framework in order to guarantee structured conditions for deployment, (iii) coordinate with the RECs/ RMs to create coherence among the region’s individual HR policies for deployment, and (iv) conducting efforts to increase the availability of civilian experts with certain areas of expertise of particular relevance to PSOs or currently underrepresented within the ASC.

Interested bidders who fulfill the following criteria can obtain the bid document from the office specified below starting from Friday, 24^th of August 2018, 8:30am on working hours or can request the document via an email address: benyam.abebe@giz.de

• Review the findings of the final evaluation of the first phase of PASAP projects to make sure that the findings (achievements, lessons learnt and recommendations feed into the planning of the 2^nd phase.
• Review and present key aspects of documents regarding donor requirements and instructions in order for the participants to have a clear understanding of donor conditions that will affect the development of the second phase of PASAP.
• Design the 2^nd phase of PASAP, particularly reflecting on the theory of change; project objective and outcomes; key implementation strategies and indicative activities and budget clearly relating to the instructions and templates for the proposal.

The Girls Advocacy Alliance (GAA) is a joint initiative of Plan Nederland, Terre des Hommes Netherlands and Defence for Children - ECPAT Netherlands. The GAA is led by Plan Nederland and is implemented in strategic partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Dialogue and Dissent framework (2016-2020).

The GAA programme is implemented in Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Bangladesh, India, Nepal and the Philippines, and at regional levels in Asia and Africa.

In the Africa Regional Programme, the Girls Advocacy Alliance consists of Plan International, Terre des Hommes, Defence for Children – Sierra Leone and ECPAT International. The regional programme aims to influence regional governance bodies in Africa (African Union and Regional Economic Communities) and is complementary to the GAA influencing in the six African countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone).

The long-term goal of the Girls Advocacy Alliance on an African Regional level (2030) is: Girls and young women in Africa and their civil society organisations use regional monitoring and accountability mechanisms to hold their governments accountable on the fulfilment of their protection and rights.

The project has a long term plan of capacitating girls and young women in Africa and their civil society organizations use regional monitoring and accountability mechanisms to hold their governments accountable on the fulfilment of their protection and rights.

Gender based violence is widespread across Africa, with varying degrees of gravity depending on ethnicity, religion, tradition, and socio-demographic factors. Although not exhaustive, gender-based violence includes, sexual and emotional violence, rape, and intimate partner violence, trafficking of women, sexual exploitation and forced prostitution. Although the causes of gender based violence vary according to specific context of a country, poverty, deep rooted traditional practices, inadequate enforcement of laws and policies, and relatively lower levels of educational attainment among girls and women are specifically relevant to Africa.

The project aims to ensure that young people and their civil society are using regional accountability mechanisms to hold their governments accountable on GBV. This will entail promoting access for young people and their civil society to lobby and advocate towards these mechanisms and linking these initiatives to country specific actions. Interventions towards the achievement of this goal will include promoting and strengthening regional CSO networks, conducting regional research and targeting stakeholders such as donors, INGOs, media and regional private sector platforms as partners towards the fulfilment of this goal.

1.Outcomes of the GAA Regional Africa Programme

The expected outcomes

1. Enhanced capacity of African regional and sub-regional CSO-networks to influence regional policy making and monitoring on child marriage, CSEC, trafficking and economic exclusion

2. Improved monitoring and accountability mechanisms and practices by regional and sub-regional bodies (ECOWAS and EAC) on GBV and EE of girls and young women

3. Selected ECOWAS and EAC countries (focus on GAA countries) have harmonized migration policies and procedures to address the cross-border issues of CSEC and trafficking affecting girls and young women, feeding into the AU regional policy on children on the move

2.Objectives for the Mid Term Review

Halfway its programme, the GAA wishes to engage in a review and reflection process that feeds plans and strategic decisions on the remaining period of implementation 2019-2020.

The MTR is intended to contribute to the following objectives:

● Assess the effectiveness of the GAA regional Africa programme

The Girls Advocacy Alliance (GAA) is a joint initiative of Plan Nederland, Terre des Hommes Netherlands and Defence for Children - ECPAT Netherlands. The GAA is led by Plan Nederland and is implemented in strategic partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Dialogue and Dissent framework (2016-2020).

The GAA programme is implemented in Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Bangladesh, India, Nepal and the Philippines, and at regional levels in Asia and Africa.

In the Africa Regional Programme, the Girls Advocacy Alliance consists of Plan International, Terre des Hommes, Defence for Children – Sierra Leone and ECPAT International. The regional programme aims to influence regional governance bodies in Africa (African Union and Regional Economic Communities) and is complementary to the GAA influencing in the six African countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone).

The long-term goal of the Girls Advocacy Alliance on an African Regional level (2030) is: Girls and young women in Africa and their civil society organisations use regional monitoring and accountability mechanisms to hold their governments accountable on the fulfilment of their protection and rights.

The project has a long term plan of capacitating girls and young women in Africa and their civil society organizations use regional monitoring and accountability mechanisms to hold their governments accountable on the fulfilment of their protection and rights.

Gender based violence is widespread across Africa, with varying degrees of gravity depending on ethnicity, religion, tradition, and socio-demographic factors. Although not exhaustive, gender-based violence includes, sexual and emotional violence, rape, and intimate partner violence, trafficking of women, sexual exploitation and forced prostitution. Although the causes of gender based violence vary according to specific context of a country, poverty, deep rooted traditional practices, inadequate enforcement of laws and policies, and relatively lower levels of educational attainment among girls and women are specifically relevant to Africa.

The project aims to ensure that young people and their civil society are using regional accountability mechanisms to hold their governments accountable on GBV. This will entail promoting access for young people and their civil society to lobby and advocate towards these mechanisms and linking these initiatives to country specific actions. Interventions towards the achievement of this goal will include promoting and strengthening regional CSO networks, conducting regional research and targeting stakeholders such as donors, INGOs, media and regional private sector platforms as partners towards the fulfilment of this goal.

1.Outcomes of the GAA Regional Africa Programme

The expected outcomes

1. Enhanced capacity of African regional and sub-regional CSO-networks to influence regional policy making and monitoring on child marriage, CSEC, trafficking and economic exclusion

2. Improved monitoring and accountability mechanisms and practices by regional and sub-regional bodies (ECOWAS and EAC) on GBV and EE of girls and young women

3. Selected ECOWAS and EAC countries (focus on GAA countries) have harmonized migration policies and procedures to address the cross-border issues of CSEC and trafficking affecting girls and young women, feeding into the AU regional policy on children on the move

2.Objectives for the Mid Term Review

Halfway its programme, the GAA wishes to engage in a review and reflection process that feeds plans and strategic decisions on the remaining period of implementation 2019-2020.

The MTR is intended to contribute to the following objectives:

● Assess the effectiveness of the GAA regional Africa programme

Household Integrated Green Growth Interventions (HIGGI)

1. Introduction

Ethiopia and Uganda both have recently developed national Green Growth strategies. In Ethiopia, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is working with multi-sectoral stakeholders ranging from the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Urban Development and Construction, and Ministry of Water and Energy to Ethiopia’s Ministerial Steering Committee on Climate-Resilient Green Economy Initiative to support the implementation of the climate resilient green economy strategy at macro level. UNDP in Uganda has also supported the National Planning Authority to develop the Uganda Green Growth Strategy in partnership with the Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development, Climate Change Department, the Ministry of Water and Environment, Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development, Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Ministry of Works and Transport, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, National Environment Management Authority, National Forestry Authority, and the Global Green Growth Institute.

While strategies have been developed at macro level in both countries, there is a lot to be done at micro level especially at household and community level in terms of developing household or community integrated green growth approaches and practices that support and empower families to carry out climate friendly activities while building sustainable, resilient livelihood, and strengthening quality child care and protection. SOS CV can position itself as an expert in promoting green economy activities at the community and household level through the family development plan approach, with the objective of protecting and providing for children in two ways:

• Improving the economic status of communities and families now, so that they can better support children, cover their needs and protect them from exploitation and other forms of VAC related to poverty; and

• Ensuring that the natural environment in vulnerable communities is protected, so that children, in the future, will continue to benefit from a healthy environment and will be able to continue to use natural resources in support of their livelihoods.

  The SOS Green Growth approach should be supported with documentation of Green Growth good practices at household and community level. Knowledge and learning in the five relevant Green Growth areas - food security and nutritious vegetable gardening, household waste management and recycling, afforestation – indigenous and fruit tree planting around home and communities, source of energy for light and cooking, and clean water harvesting and sanitation – should be documented, and shared through community dialogues and exchange visits. Household should be assessed during the Family Development Planning (FDP) process on how there are performing with regards to the five Green Growth components, and relevant interventions integrated into the FDP, which is periodically revisited by the SOS CV and partner teams together with the family to assess how they are progressing towards Green Growth targets. A SOS Household Integrated Green Growth Intervention Guidance note to be developed by selected consultants will guide SOS staff, families, community members and partners on how to support the implementation of Green Growth activities.

• Objective of the upcoming Green growth project**

The project aims at contributing to this process by investing in empowering vulnerable families and youth to acquire green skills and resources to launch green enterprises, take-up green jobs, and to participate in community and district decision-making related to environmental and natural resource management and sustainable, green economic development, and by contributing to strengthening the capacities of local governance structures – including local/district authorities, private sector, and civil society actors – to contribute to the implementation of governmental policies, while providing an enabling environment for green enterprises through knowledge provision and participatory, inclusive decision-making.
