Background of the project
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.
Scope of work
Building on a growing body of evidence – including IRC’s Cycles of Displacement report and other reports, including The Only Way Is Up – in 2022, the IRC launched a flagship technical innovation project ‘TRANSFORM’ to develop mechanisms for humanitarian organizations to systematically embed diverse sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) considerations in conflict and displacement response. Through this BHA-funded project, the IRC seeks to address the systemic reluctance/capacity issues holding back the humanitarian sector from SOGIESC inclusion. We seek to do this in a way that models a deep involvement of diverse SOGIESC CSOs and extends diverse SOGIESC inclusion across the humanitarian architecture. The TRANSFORM project will develop and socialize new approaches to advancing conversations and furthering commitments to diverse SOGIESC inclusion in the humanitarian sector and architecture.
As part of TRANSFORM, VPRU is looking to write a report outlining a “roadmap” to institutionalizing diverse SOGIESC inclusion in humanitarian action; this roadmap may be inclusive of recommendations for changes in the realms of policy, research, capacity sharing/strengthening, programming, funding, and coordination.
Deliverables
One (1) report outlining a roadmap to institutionalize diverse SOGIESC inclusion in humanitarian action.
Dissemination and advocacy materials, including up to 2 policy/advocacy briefs and a report presentation.
To deliver this report, IRC anticipates that the Consultant/Consultant Team will provide a detailed methodology on the process by which they will collect data/evidence, including such activities as:
Mapping of current engagement with diverse SOGIESC inclusion within clusters at the regional level;
Conducting Key Informant Interviews with experts on diverse SOGIESC inclusion, inclusion in humanitarian response, technical areas of humanitarian action (inclusive of refugee and IDP contexts), funding mechanisms, members of interagency coordination spaces, and local diverse SOGIESC actors (both activists and representative organizations).
Conducting Desk Research of available material (including grey literature and learnings from TRANSFORM) on diverse SOGIESC inclusion;
Conducting analysis of available data sources;
Others as appropriate.
Please note that once contracted, the Consultant/Consultant Team will work with the IRC to finalize a work plan for the realization of the Roadmap Report.
