2. Developing the Gender Mainstreaming Strategy of EaP CSF
Ensuring the promotion of diversity, inclusiveness, gender equality and equity is one of the fundamental values shared by the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum’s members and is central to the fulfillment of EaP CSF’s mission. Currently, the Forum plans to strengthen its approach towards gender mainstreaming that will provide policy guidance and operational support to its members. To fulfill this need, the Steering Committee invites a consultant to design the Gender Mainstreaming Strategy of the Forum and its priority areas based on the input of Forum’s members.
The Consultant’s duties, responsibilities and expected results:
- Conduct a rapid gender organizational assessment based on the review of the current regulations, practices, and will identify the areas that require a strengthened approach in terms of gender awareness within EaP CSF structural units (i.e. Steering Committee / National Platforms / Working Groups / Secretariat) and their operational procedures and responsibilities. Interviews with at least eight representatives of different structural entities of the EaP CSF will be conducted.
- Propose the structure of the strategy that will include, among others, a conceptual framework, goals and strategic objectives (to be achieved within a specific timeframe i.e. 2020 – 2025), institutional settings, working and communication methods.
- Come up with recommendations on how to address current statutory or operational shortcomings that may prevent the Forum from the full implementation of the Strategy.
