About Badili Africa
Badili Africa is a Pan-African women's rights organization redefining leadership and civic participation by centering the agency of grassroots women and young people who are routinely excluded from decision-making. Founded in 2015 and operational since 2018, Badili works primarily with young women aged 16-30 in tertiary institutions, informal and rural settlements, and chama women (grassroots women organized in merry-go-rounds and informal collectives) who anchor socio-economic and solidarity networks in their communities.
We work at the intersection of civic participation, technology, and movement building, transforming everyday and often overlooked spaces - chamas, salons, campuses, informal collectives, and digital platforms - into sites of civic learning, accountability, and resistance to all forms of violence. Our established networks span Nairobi, Kiambu, Kajiado, Nakuru, Kisumu, Machakos, and Kisii Counties, with direct reach to over 10,000 grassroots women through 600+ chama groups and a curated network of 100 trained digital influencers and campus organizers.
Background
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Kenya is not only a social or public health concern, but it is a structural and political tool that systematically excludes women, particularly young women, from leadership and public participation. The FemiRise Project is grounded in this understanding. It responds to rising cases of femicide, digital violence, and electoral-related GBV targeting young women across campuses and grassroots communities. Evidence shows that violence, ranging from cyber harassment to physical intimidation, is deliberately used to silence women’s leadership and civic engagement.
While feminist organizations and grassroots actors continue to respond, their efforts remain fragmented, under-resourced, and disconnected across spaces such as universities and community-based structures like chamas.
FemiRise seeks to build the connective infrastructure of a feminist movement by linking:
● Campus-based feminist organizing
● Grassroots chama networks
● Digital activism and storytelling
● Electoral safety and GBV response mechanisms
Purpose of the consultancy
Badili Africa seeks an experienced consultant to support the development of a Feminist GBV Prevention, Response, and Referral Guideline to strengthen coordinated, survivor-centered prevention and response to GBV among young women, feminist organizations, student leaders, women’s chamas, and duty bearers
Essential Experience
● A specialist with an advanced degree in a relevant field, including gender studies, social sciences, public health, law, or development studies.
● At least 5–7 years of experience in GBV programming, policy development, or related areas.
● Proven experience in developing GBV guidelines, toolkits, or similar frameworks for low-literacy and multilingual audiences.
● Strong understanding of survivor-centered and feminist approaches to GBV response.
● Knowledge of GBV policy, legal, and service delivery systems in Kenya.
● Experience working with youth-led, feminist, and community-based organizations.
● Strong facilitation, research, analysis, and report-writing skills, with the ability to engage diverse stakeholders and produce high-quality deliverables.
