Overview of Position
Nature of the consultancy:
Develop a detailed & accessible training manuals & facilitator guidelines for establishing Women Networking Groups (WNG) in partnership with local & state level stakeholders & implement capacity building training sessions.
Project context & scope:
Despite significant progress over several decades, Somalia continues to encounter considerable obstacles emerging from fragile institutions, ongoing security concerns including the Alshabaab insurgency & complex political dynamics hindering economic progress & stability. These challenges are coupled by environmental degradation & climate related hazards, displacement & insecurities with women & girls experiencing a disproportionate impact. Gender disparities remain distinct, particularly within rural communities, where structural barriers, rooted in traditional & patriarchal norms, continue to restrict women's participation in public life, politics & social spheres.
To elevate the roles of women in society & empower them in decision making processes, stabilization partners are working together to create encouraging environment through carefully tailored gender sensitive activities. Prioritized initiatives are mainly focused on the local & community driven strategies / activities aimed at enhancing inclusion & protections for women's rights while trying to address context specific harmful practices. In the same effort, our client's Community Stabilization Unit (CSU) in Somalia is encouraging a gender sensitive approach to stabilization processes by supporting community led & locally owned structures through the formation of the woman’s groups & peer to peer support networks.
Established platforms are recognized as valuable community avenues aimed at advocating for gender inclusion across various social & local structures. The primary objective is to enable informed decision making within the local level for the development of effective & legitimate local governance by ensuring that woman voices are always considered & are fully integrated.
At the same time, available instruments & national policy documents & strategies (e.g. Wadajir framework & National Transformation Plan (NTP)) are yet to fully incorporate & acknowledge the significance of gender inclusion within local governance structures. Thus, the formation of WNG's in partnership with local authorities & stabilization partners represents a promising advancement for broader stabilization efforts & enhancement of women's representation within the social fabric.
Our client is seeking to recruit a technical expert to support the establishment of WNG's in collaboration with our client & the local governments. The role also involves developing capacity building training materials & delivering training to enhance leadership capabilities, increase self assurance & empower women to take on leading roles within their communities through peer to peer participatory network.
