Call for Proposals for Development of Mobile Friendly-Site and Knowledge Hubs in Grenada and Jamaica

Deadline: 05-Jul-21

UN Women Multi-Country Office (MCO) Caribbean is seeking to partner with an NGO to support the development of a knowledge hub of critical gender and women’s rights research, including feminist research for Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

It is expected that Women’s rights groups, autonomous social movements and relevant CSOs, including those representing youth and groups facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination/marginalization, more effectively influence and advance progress on GEWE and ending VAWG.

With this in mind, resources are being made available within the SI, for a Non-Governmental Organization Network to undertake ICT related work which includes but is not limited to the following:

• Grenada:
  • Facilitate the development of the Knowledge Hub, in consultation with CSOs and key stakeholders, which is easily accessible and can be decentralized for community access and develop and to provide at least 2 training sessions on the Knowledge Hub.
• Jamaica:
  • Support the development and launch of a mobile friendly site that will disseminate:
    • monthly profiles (at both the parish and community levels) of analysed IPV crime and injury data;
    • information on how to develop personal safety plans and obtain protection orders and legal aid;
    • information on linkages to government and CSO/NGO services for victims/survivors of VAWG.
  • Development of national knowledge hub and dearinghouse, in consultation with CSOs, to provide a foundation for the development of critical gender and women’s rights research, including feminist research around IPV and discrimination and exclusion. This would act as a virtual resource centre.
