Public Call for Tender nb. 83425320 Monitoring and Evaluation consultant 16.3500.2-014.00 P-VAWG

Brief information on the project

The GIZ P-VAWG project “Fighting violence against women and girls in Lebanon" supports the National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW) in its coordinating role for the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) based on the UNSCR 1325, particularly with regards to the strategic priority on preventing and protecting women and girls from sexual and gender-based violence. All planned activities of the SFF project are aligned with measures defined in the NAP.

The aim of the project is to improve the coordination and cooperation between the various state and non-state actors in the prevention of VAWG, regarding the following objectives:

• Improve data collection and analysis, uniform quality control standards for support services for survivors of VAWG, and a functioning referral system.

• Selected Social Development Centers (SDCs), that function under the Ministry of Social Affairs’ mandate, will be supported in their role as they can be the first point of contact for women affected by violence. This, too, corresponds to a strategic measure explicitly provided for in the NAP. The main objective is to support SDCs in particularly disadvantaged communities.

• In the same communities as the above mentioned SDCs, selected community-based organizations (CBOs) will be strengthened to carry out awareness-raising activities within their community as well as to offer concrete support services for survivors of VAWG.
