Deadline: 19-May-23
UN Women is seeking Responsible Parties to implement programmes and initiatives related to the following programme areas:
- Provide affected Syrian women and women headed households with livelihood opportunities, and vocational skills, that increase market access and link women with concrete job opportunities
- Introduce innovative skills and vocational training programmes that are based on market assessment, with a focus on digital skills, mobile phone repair courses and information management and analysis courses.
- Increase awareness of affected populations on violence against women by working through community structures and women-led organisations
Cross-Cutting Elements
- Gender equality is an integral part of the UN Women Syria Programme, encompassing the promotion, protection and fulfilment of all human rights. Gender equality constitutes a fundamental human rights principle. Partners will have to report against relevant “SMART” sex-disaggregated indicators, along with other tabulation on disability, IDP/host community and other identified indicators that would ensure the diversity of the interventions.
- Moreover, the partnerships will be also governed by the following conditions:
- Include conflict sensitivity and environmental sustainability issues;
- Take into account the needs and challenges faced by Syrian women leaders (in particular grassroots organizations) living inside or outside Syria;
- Encourage partnership and capacity-building of networks of local WROs/WLOs;
- Furthermore, it is important that any organisation or group has a clear set of guidelines about how they will keep women safe and to respond to women specific protection concerns. Therefore, potential partners should demonstrate in their proposals that protection policies are in place for any project activity that involves interactions with women.
