Trainer – Conflict and Gender Sensitive monitoring and evaluation

The program seeks to support the work of relevant feminist CSOs in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine and aims to provide a space for sharing of learning and exchanging good practices with a view to contributing to building a peaceful and inclusive society by promoting women’s participation and combating VAWG in the region.

The program started on 1st March 2023 and will run until 31st March 2026. It is structured around three components: provision of financial support to national and local CSOs and CBOs, capacity-building and learning, and regional networking and exchange of expertise and practices. With such programs, having a conflict and gender sensitive approach to the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation is crucial to ensure having a positive impact, enhance the performance, and improve the effectiveness of the implementation.
This program is funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) which implements France’s policy on international development and solidarity. Through its financing of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the public sector, as well as its research and publications, AFD supports and accelerates transitions towards a fairer, more resilient world. It also provides training in sustainable development (at AFD Campus) and other awareness-raising activities in France

1. DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES / EXPECTED RESULTS

   1.1 Scope of Work

The Trainer is expected to develop the training module focusing on building the capacities of partners and targeted CSOs and CBOs on conflict-sensitive project implementation, and monitoring and evaluation with a gender lens. The “do no harm” approach integrating a gender perspective is particularly relevant since it is a tool to evaluate the differentiated impacts of conflict on women and girls and the power relations underlying them. The trainings will also help identify good practices, document and capitalise on learning. Four trainings (one in each of the four targeted countries) will be conducted with 15 participants each. The level of improved knowledge will be assessed before and after each training. Those trainings will also be an opportunity for the beneficiary CSOs and CBOs to exchange experiences as a first step of the networking and development of a community of practices.
