LAST CALLS FOR TENDERS

Consultancy/ies – Internal trainings on gender mainstreaming
EUROMED RIGHTS

Type of contract : Services Market Keywords : Consultance

Practicalities of the call
The structure of this call is somewhat unique, in that it is a call for one or more consultant(s) to deliver three independent but interrelated trainings – hereafter referred to as ‘Outputs’ – for staff and members of EuroMed Rights. For each applicant, it remains within their discretion whether to apply to deliver one, two or three of the Outputs, depending on the expertise which they feel can be offered. Based on the applications received, a decision will be made by EuroMed Rights as to how best to choose the right consultant/combination of consultants to deliver this full package of trainings. The exact and ultimate timing of each of the Outputs will be negotiated with the consultant(s) to ensure that the schedule is amenable to all parties concerned.
 
All three sessions will take place online, and can be conducted in French or English (depending on the language preferences of the consultant(s) – there is no need for a uniformity of language across the three sessions as bi-lingual interpretation can be provided).   Dates for each session will be negotiated with the consultant(s) according to their availability, However; logically, the series of trainings would begin with the session “Output 1. Gender mainstreaming in human rights organisations” (see below), and this would ideally be planned for January 2024.
The timeline for the two following Outputs (Output 2. Intersectionality, and Output 3. Gender-sensitive budgeting) will be between February –  April 2024, subject to the agreed-upon preferences of the consultant(s) and EuroMed Rights.

Terms of Reference for assisted peer-to-peer self-evaluation of KIYO’s Empowering youth together globally programme and peer learning between KIYO partners in the context of the mid-term evaluation.
KIYO

Type of contract : Services Market Keywords : Évaluation

Context: 

KIYO’s current five-year DGD programme (2022-2026) entitled “Empowering youth together globally” focuses on the development of quality learning environments that support youth in discovering and developing their talents and potential, in becoming aware of their rights and being able to claim them, and in actively shaping their own future and contributing to a more just and sustainable world.

In order to develop these quality learning environments around youth, KIYO supports local partner organizations in the partner countries in accompanying community actors that educate, train, support and accompany youth in formal, informal and non-formal education, in employability and in active citizenship. KIYO partners are local civil society organisations, of which at least one in each country is entirely youth-led. In Belgium, KIYO is directly implementing the programme with secondary schools and organisations working for, with and through youth (e.g. fourth pillar organisations) in a context that differs in a number of aspects from the context in the partner countries.

The programme is implemented in five countries: Belgium, Brazil, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Philippines. 

Justification:  

Given that both KIYO’s youth empowerment strategy - focusing on strengthening learning environments in different contexts - and KIYO’s partnership strategy - focusing on in-country and cross-country learning - are part of a broader international strategy, KIYO opts for one overarching evaluation approach in which mutual and shared learning will be the main focus and objective. KIYO therefore chooses for an assisted peer-to-peer self-evaluation as methodological approach to the mid-term evaluation of the Empowering youth together globally programme. The mid-term evaluation will consist of four key complementary and mutually reinforcing components:

- Assisted Peer-to-peer self-evaluation between the different KIYO country offices outside of Belgium
- Structured peer learning between KIYO partners from the different KIYO country programmes
- Assisted peer learning and/or peer-to-peer evaluation between KIYO and other organisations
- External evaluation of the Belgium programme, including peer learning with other organisations in Belgium and the partner countries

Learning questions: 

For the partner countries outside of Belgium: 

1) Does the partnership strategy of mutual and shared capacity development enable KIYO and the partners to work more effectively on youth empowerment?

2) Does the KIYO programme succeed in empowering youth by focusing on the development of quality learning environments and in capacitating community actors to sustain these learning environments?

3) Do youth empowered by the programme significantly contribute to empowering other youth not directly reached by the programme

For the programme in Belgium: 

4) To what extent do teachers, school teams, mentors and organizations working for, with and through youth in their class, school and organizational context succeed in creating a safe and stimulating environment in which youth can grow and be strengthened? Which factors play a role in this?

5) To what extent do youth who participate in Action4Rigths1 within and outside of the school context feel strengthened to let their voice be heard in society (school, home, community, …) and to take up a more active role? Which factors play a role in this?

Appel d’offres : Formation en financements européens
ACODEV

Type of contract : Services Market Keywords : Formation

Les OSC belges ont eu jusqu’à présent un accès limité aux instruments de financements de l’Union Européenne. De ce fait, il s’avère pertinent de renforcer les capacités et compétences des OSC membres d’ACODEV pour accéder à ce type de financement avec le but de diversifier l’origine des fonds et contribuer à la résilience des organisations. Pour répondre à ce besoin, ACODEV souhaite apporter un soutien à ses OSC membres en renforçant leurs compétences concernant les instruments de financement européens. Cet appel d’offre a donc pour objectif de sélectionner un prestataire de service afin de mettre en œuvre une formation en financements européens pour des personnes ayant un niveau débutant ou un niveau intermédiaire/confirmé.
