In countries affected by conflict and war, Women for Women International supports the most marginalized women to earn and save money, improve health and well-being, influence decisions in their home and community, and connect to networks for support. By utilizing skills, knowledge, and resources, she is able to create sustainable change for herself, her family, and community.

Since 1993, Women for Women International has served more than 462,000 women in 8 conflict-affected countries, including Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Sudan. Since 2002, we have worked with over 13,000 men worldwide in women’s rights and gender equality.

Overview

WfWI is delighted to be among the recipients of the Funding Leadership and Opportunities for Women (FLOW) II, a fund that has been set up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands to improve the position of women and girls in developing countries by the promotion of equal rights and opportunities. It also aims to foster a transformation towards an enabling environment in which women’s rights are better protected.

WfWI’s grant under FLOW II titled “Engaging women as agents of change against gender-based violence and poverty in Afghanistan, DRC and Nigeria” is for a period of five years, from 1 January 2016 through 31 December 2020, and covers activities in three countries – Afghanistan, DRC and Nigeria – as well as global activities.

As part of its FLOW grant, WfWI is committed to developing and strengthening partnerships with civil society, international and women’s organizations, as well as with governments and private sector actors in the countries of operation.

Under this grant, WfWI has selected local and legitimate civil society actors that are intent on collaborating with WfWI to achieve outcomes. This range of partners will work with WfWI in every FLOW country to jointly combat violence against women (VAW) and improve women’s economic participation at the community level and to work together for national level change by focusing on national laws, policy and practice on VAW and/or women’s economic participation.

The civil society/NGO partners will receive sub-grants and collaborate on program implementation. Alongside program implementation, WfWI will build the capacity of local NGOs as it is critical to ensure that organizations are equipped to meet the needs of women, remain relevant in changing contexts, and achieve the best results.

The model of capacity building espoused by the Dutch government is the 5 capacities or “5C” model, which emphasizes the entity’s capabilities 1) to commit and engage, 2) to carry out functions or tasks, 3) to relate and attract resources and support, 4) to adapt and self-renew, and finally, 5) to balance coherence and diversity. This is the model that WfWI will use to strengthen the capacity of local NGO partners. WfWI has conducted initial orientations on the 5C model, but it is a new capacity building model for WfWI.

Purpose of Consultancy

WfWI is seeking a short-term consultant to build WfWI’s capacity on implementing the 5C model. This includes understanding of the specific 5C capacity building model, orientation on existing tools, guidance on the development of new tools (if needed), and coaching of staff of how to incorporate the 5C model in our relationships with local NGOs and reflect it in our grants with local partners in our target countries.

2. If needed, conduct one field visit to a WfWI country office to provide hands-on training and coaching to field team
