General information Assignment name: Consultancy Service for Development and Delivery of a GBV Response Training Package Client: Expertise France Country: Ethiopia Total estimated number of days: 76 II. Introduction Expertise France, a French public international cooperation agency, is implementing a project to rehabilitate and re-equip Adwa Hospital in Tigray and Abala Hospital in Afar, with support from the European Union. The project aims to enhance healthcare services, with a particular focus on addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV). This Terms of Reference (ToR) outlines the requirements for a consultancy to develop and deliver a GBV response-training package for staff at the One Stop Centers (OSCs) and sector leaders at these hospitals. III. Context and justification of the need Over the past two years, northern Ethiopia has experienced ongoing conflict, with renewed hostilities in mid-2022, resulting in significant humanitarian needs across the Afar and Tigray regions many of which remain largely unmet. The peace agreement signed in early November 2022 has raised hopes for lasting stability, leading to improved humanitarian access, service provision, and some infrastructural, political, and economic progress. Nonetheless, the regions continue to face severe challenges: large-scale displacement, damaged infrastructure, and limited operational basic services. The conflict has caused a sharp increase in reported GBV cases, particularly sexual violence; however, actual incidence is likely underreported due to limited access to healthcare, social stigma, and ongoing insecurity. Inter-sectoral assessments indicate rising psychosocial distress among children and caregivers, alongside negative survival strategies among affected populations. Over 14.2 million people are in need of protection assistance. The long-term impact of GBV and sexual violence remains a critical concern, necessitating comprehensive response strategies. TERMS OF REFERENCE In this context, Expertise Frances project seeks to support conflict-affected communities by restoring access to healthcare and protection services. Key interventions include establishing hospital-based OSCs, equipping them with necessary supplies, and building the capacity of frontline GBV responders and sector leaders. These efforts aim to improve access to qualified, survivor- centered GBV services, facilitate immediate medical care, and promote multi-sectoral coordination aligned with Ethiopian national GBV frameworks and regional mechanisms. This ToR seeks an external consultancy to develop and deliver a comprehensive GBV response- training package. The goal is to strengthen multi-sectoral collaboration, enhance survivor-centered services, and ensure adherence to international standards for GBV response in the project-affected regions. IV. Objectives 1) General objective The objective of the assignment is to strengthen the capacity of OSC staff and sector leaders to deliver comprehensive, survivor-centered, and ethically sound response services for gender-based violence through enhanced coordination, adherence to standards, and multi-sectoral collaboration. 2) Specific objectives 1. To enhance the knowledge and skills of OSC staff and sector leaders on comprehensive GBV response, including case management, clinical care, psychosocial support, and legal aspects. 2. To promote a survivor-centered, multi-sectoral approach aligned with GBV minimum standards and international human rights principles. 3. To foster effective coordination, information sharing, and collaboration among health, protection, legal, and psychosocial sectors for GBV survivors. 4. To build capacity for implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and ensuring quality, ethical, and compassionate care. V. Scope of Work The consultancy will be implemented in alignment with relevant Ethiopian government structures and referral pathways both in the federal and regional levels (Afar and Tigray).
