1. INTRODUCTION

World Bicycle Relief empowers communities in marginalized regions around the world to thrive with life-changing bicycles. We envision a world where distance is no longer a barrier to education, health services, and economic opportunity. 
2. ABOUT THE PROJECT 

This consultancy compasses three main pillars:
  • Assess and evaluate internal practices towards mainstreaming gender, including a review of leadership and governance, people and culture, communication, brand image, policies and practices, donor acquisition, talent recruitment and retention.
  • Assess and evaluate programming and social enterprise practices toward gender mainstreaming and equity, including a review of program standard operating procedures, analysis of gender-disaggregated program data and outcomes, partnerships, brand image and marketing, participant targeting, engagement, and participation.
  • Provide recommendations, tools, guidance, and training on integrating and institutionalizing best practices in gender mainstreaming and integration in the organization’s programs and operations.
 
3. ABOUT THE CONSULTANCY
 
The objective of this engagement is to evaluate how gender considerations are being integrated into WBR and Buffalo’s activities and operations and to identify strengths and weaknesses in advancing gender outcomes as they relate to the focus of our new strategic plan and supporting operating model.  The review will assess WBR’s status and plans to ensure a gender and socially inclusive approach to mobility programming and operations. The gender assessment will identify successes as well as critical gaps in gender integration and use the findings to inform the design and content of specific interventions and training materials to increase institutional awareness of contextual gender and social dynamics in programming as well as strengthen institutional gender capacity.
