Deadline: 4-Mar-22
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through its Access to Justice, Security and Human Rights Strengthening programme is seeking competent and reputable media organizations including Community Based Radios, to send proposals to provide civic awareness and education on the CMP with the aim of addressing the information gap faced by women, youth, displaced people and communities in Central, Western, and Eastern Equatoria, in Lakes, Upper Nile, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Jonglei, Unity and Warrap.
The sensitization programme should convey the general phases of the CMP, mention key contentious issues, and increase public awareness for women, youth, displaced people, and communities to prepare them to participate meaningfully.
Each proposal should cover no more than three states and administrative areas, and it will be considered and implemented in coordination with other successful proposals under this Call for Proposals and a complementary Call for Proposals from the CSOs and CBOs.
Objectives
- UNDP seeks to facilitate and support partners to carry out civic awareness and education on the general CMP so that South Sudanese in all states and administrative areas reach the county, Payam, and boma level:
- Understand the provisions of the 2018 Agreement relating to the CMP, linkages, and complementary between them;
- Understand the process being followed, the mechanisms of review as stipulated in the CMP Bill 2021 as well as the role of various stakeholders and members of the public;
- Appreciate the role of the people, what is expected of them, and all other stakeholders and how they can participate meaningfully;
- Acknowledge that any lapse in not honoring the 2018 Agreement or making the constitution may take the country back to conflict as it seeks to address root causes of the 2013 and 201 conflicts;
- Are informed about the process thus far and commit to engaging in and discussing how to localize the CMP at the state and community level.
- Media organizations/houses including Community-Based Radios are requested to submit their proposals as potential grant implementers. Applications must include the states/counties/params/bomas they operate in. The main objective of the grant is to identify media organizations with operational presence and capacities in their specific locations of operation to provide the herein stated objectives and outputs/deliverables.
Expected Output
- Women, youth, displaced groups and community members and leaders (religious, traditional leaders, war veterans, widows of war) at the county level are informed and aware of the CMP and their role;
- An analytical and results-oriented report summarizing key points and issues, recommendations, and commitments from the discussions that will inform further planning of constitution-making support in the state; as well as the number, stakeholder group, and caliber of participants;
- A Memoranda on key concerns from the people presented to the County Commissioner with a copy to the State Governor which would be readily available for presentation to the Reconstituted National Constitutional Review commission (R-NCRC) when it starts its public consultations to the states.
Eligibility Criteria
- Legally registered with the MoJCA and in possession of a valid registration certificate;
- Mandate and founding documents should be in line with activities for which the fund is being sought;
