Objectives and outputs of the work
The aim of this consultancy is to deliver two online trainings in order to build the capacities of the Women’s Rights and Gender Justice Working Group (WRGJ WG) members on Communication and Campaigning in the digital age and Digital safety.
It is a call for one or more consultant(s) to deliver two independent but interrelated trainings – hereafter referred to as ‘Outputs’ – for members of the WRGJ WG. For each applicant, it remains within their discretion whether to apply to deliver one or two of the Outputs, depending on the expertise which they feel can be offered. The two trainings 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 two sessions as bi-lingual interpretation can be provided).
Outputs of the consultancy·ies
The target audience of these trainings will be the WRGJ WG members. Around 15-20 participants are expected. The consultant(s) will receive all the relevant information to understand the nature of the WRGJ work and to adapt the trainings to the needs of the participants. The Communication Coordinator and the Women’s Rights and Gender Justice Coordinator will remain available to answer any questions the consultant/agency might have during the process. The use of creative methodology (using a mix of online tools and platforms) is expected.
