REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

Participatory Gender Audit of UNFPA’s Programme Areas and Operations

 

 

UNFPA is one of the leading United Nations and international development agencies with a strong mandate, country-level presence and operational capacity to promote women’s empowerment and gender equality.  Its core mission of furthering sexual and reproductive health and rights for all through the implementation of the International Conference for Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is a pillar of poverty reduction, gender equality and development.  As such, UNFPA is accountable for progress on gender equality from an ethical, as well as a results-based programmatic and financial perspective.

 

In support of the attainment of Millennium Development Goal 3 (Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women) and Goal 5 (Improve Maternal Health), the Gender and Culture thematic area in the 6th Country Programme Action Plan aims to contribute to strengthening of institutional mechanisms and socio-cultural practices to promote and protect the rights of women and girls and advance gender equity and equality.

 

In order to assess the extent of UNFPA’s level of gender mainstreaming and recommend strategies to enhance these in the way we and our partners work, UNFPA aims to conduct a gender audit by utilizing the Participatory Gender Audit (PGA) methodology of the International Labour Organization (ILO).  The chosen consultant shall deliver the requirements based on the attached Terms of Reference.  Your proposal must be submitted in two parts- financial and technical in separate sealed envelopes, on or before 10 February 2010 to:
