GBV / VAWG
The Pacific Community (SPC) – Human Rights and Social Development (HRSD), as Secretariat to the Regional Working Group (RWG) on the Implementation of Family Protection/Domestic Violence Legislation, seeks a senior consultant to strengthen GBV evidence across RWG member countries. The assignment centres on (i) facilitating a regional dialogue/community of practice on planning and resourcing WHO‑aligned VAW prevalence studies; (ii) producing a situational analysis of domestic violence data collection across government, CSOs and FBOs; and (iii) developing a practical regional guideline for an integrated GBV administrative database that harmonises data from police, health, social services, justice and crisis/support providers. 
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and facilitate regional dialogue: Convene RWG members and partners (incl. UN agencies and research institutes) to share lessons on commissioning and implementing WHO‑framework VAW studies, from planning and budgeting to dissemination and use of findings. 
  • Situational analysis: Lead a participatory assessment of current DV/GBV data collection methods and systems across sectors; document strengths, gaps, risks, mitigation strategies and opportunities; and recommend capacity‑building priorities. Country visits to selected members may be required. 
  • Regional guideline for integrated admin data: Draft a practical guideline defining minimum datasets, common definitions/classifications, confidentiality/ethics safeguards, and basic interoperability to consolidate multi‑agency GBV data into a single database.
  • Planning and reporting: Prepare a workplan and inception report; manage consultations; analyse findings; present to SPC and the RWG Data Collection & M&E Sub‑committee; and produce draft and final deliverables to schedule. 
  • Collaboration and coordination: Work closely with the HRSD focal point and RWG Sub‑committee to align outputs with regional monitoring needs and member country contexts. 
Person Specifications (Skills & Qualifications)
  • Expertise in VAWG statistics: 7+ years leading or advising on VAW prevalence research, with deep familiarity with the WHO methodology and ethical/safety protocols.
  • Pacific context experience: Demonstrated, practical experience with Pacific Island government systems and CSO/FBO partners; knowledge of prior Pacific VAW studies and capacity‑development ecosystems (donors, UN, research institutes). 
  • Partnership brokering: Proven ability to convene and negotiate across government, NGOs, UN and donors to build workable agreements and shared standards.
  • Guideline and standards development: Track record designing participatory guidelines/standards for VAW/DV studies and translating technical best practice into actionable tools. 
  • Administrative data systems: Experience designing or implementing integrated, multi‑sector social/GBV databases (data models, minimum variables, data governance, privacy). 
  • Communication & analysis: Excellent facilitation, analytical writing and presentation skills; ability to produce clear, timely deliverables for regional audiences. 
  • Teamwork & logistics: Comfortable working home‑based with SPC coordination; willing to undertake agreed missions to member countries/SPC campus as needed. 
Timeframe & Deliverables
The consultancy runs for ~30 working days between 2 March and 30 July 2026, with staged outputs (workplan and inception report; dialogue preparation and facilitation; country consultations; draft reports and final guideline) tied to milestone payments per the RFQ schedule.
