Deadline: 02-Oct-20
As the programme in Kenya evolves throughout the year with projects being developed on a rolling basis, Terre des Hommes Netherlands is looking for potential partnerships to deliver projects.
Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH-NL) develops projects on a rolling basis. This means that programmes evolve as opportunities emerge at any time of the year. This necessitates having a pool of credible and capable prequalified local NGOs, from whom Project Partners can be identified to support the delivery of a given project and in a particular geographical focus area. It is also from this pool that TdH-NL can co-create evidence based projects with project partners and targeted beneficiaries.
Objectives
This pre-qualification has two main objectives:
- To identify local NGOs that has expertise in relevant thematic programme areas as stated below.
- To develop a database of credible local partner NGOs from whom partners for different projects, aligned to TdH-NL’s themes will be drawn from, as and when appropriate.
Thematic areas
- Worst Forms of Child Labour (WFCL).
- Child Trafficking and unsafe Migration (CTM);
- Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC);
- Child Abuse which includes violations of Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (CA/SRHR) such as child marriage, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and teenage pregnancies; and
