Expected Deliverables
A) Following consultations with the REACT Project staff, the consultant will submit an inception report updating their methodologies from the original proposal.
B) The consultant will carry out a policy, advocacy and stakeholder mapping relating environment and climate change where there is scope and opportunity to add a meaningful gender perspective at national (at minimum NDC processes), regional, continental and international levels.
C) With the REACT Regional Program Manager, plan and co-facilitate a 2-day regional workshop with key regional actors from civil society, research/academia, and government.
D) Using the stakeholder mapping and regional workshop, produce a report that will contribute to the project’s baseline. It will provide baseline information on indicators related to WPS and ECC policy and advocacy at national levels in Rwanda, DRC and Uganda.
E) With the REACT Regional Program Manager, advise and input on concept notes for the project’s research outputs focusing on the gender/conflict/climate/environment nexus.
F) Later in 2026, Kvinna till Kvinna will launch two calls for proposals for which women led women’s rights organisations and women-led environmental organisations are eligible to apply.
G) Once partners from each country have been selected and onboarded, the consultant will conduct a workshop where they will provide coaching to partners on ECC related policy and advocacy (based on mapping conducted).
H) A final report for the consultancy should be produced and submitted prior to completion. Focus and contents of the report will be decided with the Regional Program Manager.
