Background The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is a global sexual and reproductive health (SRH) service provider and one of the leading advocates for universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all. IPPF is a worldwide movement of 120 national organizations, referred to as Member Associations, working with and for communities and individuals. These member associations are the leading civil society providers of contraception in 89 of 120 countries. And in 64 of those 89 countries, IPPF is the only largescale international provider. Collectively, member associations delivered more than 1 billion cumulative services between 2016 and 2022. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, the overarching goal of IPPF Africa Region (IPPFAR) is to increase access to SRHR services to the most vulnerable youth, men, and women in sub-Saharan Africa. To reach this goal, IPPFAR works with local civil-society organizations, governments, the African Union (AU), regional economic commissions (RECs), the United Nations, among others, to expand political and financial commitments to SRHR in Africa. IPPFAR tackles the continent’s growing SRH challenges through a network of Member Associations (MAs), strategic partners and volunteers in 42 countries. For more information, please read our 2022 profile (in English and French) here.   Project Overview The International Planned Parenthood Federation Africa Region (IPPFAR), in collaboration with CREA, Empow'Her, the International Federation on Human Rights, and Médecins du Monde France (MdM-FR), lead the delivery of a new project called Feminist Opportunities Now (FON). Funded by the Agence Francaise de Développement (AFD), FON’s overarching goal is to strengthen the capacity of feminist movements to address gender-based violence (GBV) through sub-grants to feminist organizations, with a focus on reaching small, often unregistered, feminist organizations. The project is implemented across ten countries in three regions: Mexico and Colombia (led by MdM), Bangladesh and Sri Lanka (led by CREA), and Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Niger (led by IPPFAR). Championing an ecological-based model that integrates the use of multi-disciplinary gender transformative approaches and direct sub-granting, FON will provide longer-term mentorship and support to feminist organizations in their overall development, by designing specific trainings tailored to their needs and helping them identify additional sources of funding. FON also includes a research-action component that will deepen our understanding of how these approaches can be scaled up and sustained, ensuring linking, learning, and knowledge sharing among the organizations and across regions. More specifically, the project seeks to: Ensure and improve the sustainability of feminist organizations at the organizational and technical levels by proposing an inclusive approach to capacity strengthening. Reinforce the resilience and diversity of feminist civil society organizations (CSOs) through access to sustainable, flexible and adapted financing for small and/or informal and/or structurally excluded groups.

The International Planned Parenthood Federation Africa Region (IPPFAR) is one of the leading sexual and reproductive health (SRH) service delivery organization and sexual and reproductive rights advocacy voice in Africa through its Member Associations (MAs) in 36 sub-Saharan countries. More information on IPPFAR on our website: https://africa.ippf.org/ and our brochure. In collaboration with the Feminist Opportunities Now (FON) program, IPPFAR invites bids from competent firms to submit their Expression of Interest for consultancy services to undertake the production of a digital communication campaign to mark the 16 Days of activism against gender-based violence (GBV) 2024. Background: The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that starts on 25 November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. This symbolic period highlights the urgent need for action to eradicate gender-based violence against women and girls in all their diversity. Violence against women and girls (VAWG) persists as the most prevalent and pervasive human right violation worldwide, including in sub-Saharan Africa. In alignment with the global initiative to prevent VAWG, IPPFAR and FON are participating in the 16 days of activism global campaign, taking place from 25 November to 10 December. This campaign will aim to raise awareness and showcase concrete examples, success stories, and feminist champions from communities and local African CSOs combatting VAWG and its underlying issues through support from the FON program and IPPFAR. The digital communication campaign will be developed to: Raise awareness and sensitize target audiences (lay audience, adolescents and youths in sub-Saharan Africa and the donor community) on the significance of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence and the initiatives that IPPFAR and FON are undertaking to address this issue. The campaign will show concrete examples of these initiatives through storytelling via social media videos and static social media posts of unique initiatives implemented by the FON program to counter GBV in sub-Saharan Africa. The language used for this campaign will be simple and straightforward (no jargon unless necessary), relatable, understandable and accessible to a lay audience. English and French will be the languages of this campaign. The messaging for this campaign will be both informative, uplifting, and inspiring. This will be achieved by highlighting the work done by African feminist CSOs to fight against GBV in their local context. A key messenger for this campaign will be a male influencer, who will be requested to post the campaign content on their social media platforms (Reels and Stories), to mention FON and tag IPPF Africa Region in their content and encourage their followers to visit and follow our pages. The messages will always be human rights based and promote women’s rights, equality, equity and social justice. The campaign will highlight FON’s work through its partner CSOs and will give guidance on what audiences can do to support women’s rights and equality. The campaign will increase support to the work, mission and vision of IPPFAR and the FON program. The campaign will increase IPPFAR’s visibility and number of followers on its social media through community building strategies. Deliverables: IPPFAR and FON will share raw video footage and a database of photo content of 5 projects undertaken by FON CSOs in Kenya and Cote d’Ivoire. Based on this available content, the agency can produce short and long videos to be used on various platforms in English and French.

The communication agency will be responsible for recruiting an influencer (preferably a male influencer from Cote d’Ivoire) according to available budget for collaborations on the campaign. The influencer should be vetted and should share the same values as IPPFAR and FON with regards to gender issues, bodily autonomy, LGBTIQ+ issues, abortion rights. The communication agency will be responsible to create a visual identity and branding for the campaign and a content strategy and roll out. All campaign content will have an identical visual identity that will be modern, colorful, vibrant, and African inspired.

Consultancy – Safe Passage Program, a development of a Call for proposals Africa & Arab World Regions TERMS OF REFERENCE The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) was founded in 1952 and currently has 150 Member Associations (MAs) and Collaborative Partners with a presence in over 146 countries. IPPF is a global healthcare provider and a leading advocate of sexual and reproductive health and rights for all with the vision that all people are free to make choices about their sexuality and well-being, in a world free from discrimination. IPPF recognises that the achievement of the highest attainable standard of sexual and reproductive health is not possible when gender equality and human rights are not respected, protected and fulfilled. As affirmed by the IPPF Strategy 2023- 2028, IPPF is now more focused than ever on expanding our reach to crisis affected populations –particularly women, girls and marginalized population- with SRH in emergencies services. As a Humanitarian actor, IPPF aims at working together with our local members to uphold the dignity and right to sexual reproductive Health to all in crisis. A locally led and feminist approach is central to this by engaging the existing expertise of Member Associations and partners and mobilising the energy of our youth volunteers. IPPF’s humanitarian program is in a unique position to respond to the needs of women and girls in crisis settings as our Member Associations are established, local, autonomous organizations that are present before the onset of an emergency, during the response and in the recovery phase. Justification Migration has become an everyday event in the lives of many people, exposing them to compounded socio-cultural, economic, political and health challenges. According to the International Organization for Migration, “migrant” is an umbrella term for any person who moves away from their place of usual residence, whether within a country or across an international border, temporarily or permanently, and for a variety of reasons (IOM, 2019)[1]. Migrants may be in regular or in irregular situations. Migrants in vulnerable situations are compelled to leave their country of origin, because of the vulnerability they experience, for example in case of socio-economic instability, conflict, food insecurity, climate crisis, natural disasters, and other humanitarian situations, or because in need of protection against a human rights violation. The UN Refugee Agency explains that forced displacement has been at its peak in recent years, with around 108 million forcibly displaced people at the end of 2022 (UNHCR, 2023)[2].  The IPPF Strategic Fund, or Stream 2, is an IPPF funding mechanism to support MAs in responding to strategic initiatives identified to better achieve our strategic outcomes.  Some regions are facing a growing humanitarian crisis related to people on the move, as it can take months or even years to reach their desired destination from their country of origin. Migrants, and especially women and girls on the move who are survivors of SGBV, have multi-layered needs that cover health, mental health and support, security and protection need (including shelter), legal and law enforcement for access to justice and documentation, access to livelihood opportunities and education, among others. LGBTIQ+ migrants and people who engage in transactional sex (sell and exchange of sex for good and services) face compounded risks due to social exclusion. Sexual and reproductive health is often deprioritized, and this despite well documented needs, such as increased frequency of adolescent and unintended pregnancies; lack of access to contraception, STI/HIV and safe abortion care; poor menstrual hygiene; stigma about SRH resulting in increased maternal morbidity and mortality and decreased survival of people living with HIV. In addition, sexual and gender-based violence can be experienced by migrants, especially sexual violence and assault, those risks are greater for women and girls traveling alone, women and girls with disabilities, those who have already survived sexual violence, and sexual minorities, among others. There is still a need to approach migration with an inclusive and gender-based lens, especially, to better understand how power relations, discrimination, and inequalities across societal norms place migrants – and especially women and girls, and LGTBIQ+ on the move – at higher risk of SGBV. Geographical Scope: The programme will cover migratory routes of greatest complexity, risk, and humanitarian priority in the Mediterranean Sea routes. Focus countries across both regions (ARO and AWRO)(maximum of 8) will be selected based on deliverables 1 and 2 of this consultancy.   Scope Objective Conduct formative activities that will inform an anticipated multi country - in the origin and transit countries - and multi partners (MAs and other partners) consortium to support Sexual and Reproductive Health in Emergencies (SRHiE) and SGBV programs, specific needs of marginalised populations on the move in the Mediterranean Routes. Specific objectives Develop an inclusive, gender- and people-centre situation analysis that reflects a good understanding of the specific SRH and SGBV vulnerabilities faced by people on the move, particularly girls and women, people with diverse SOGIESC[3], people with disabilities, and ethnic minorities along key migration Mediterranean routes; existing gaps in the implementation of those services, a review of interventions and responses from various organizations, including Civil Society Organizations (local NGOs), international agencies, and Community Based Organizations (CBO), as well as governments migration policies and actions in both sending, transit and receiving countries.   Develop a capacity assessment of each key from selected countries (max 8) Member Association established along the migration routes to evaluate SRH and SGBV care services, human resources, technical expertise, and health information systems. This should include the identification of gaps or areas of capacity building that should be strengthened to be part Based on the results of the formative activities of specific objectives 1 and 2, a Call for Proposals will be developed to assist Member Associations interested in the preparing proposals (in consortium).
