[email protected] Email subject: SIRI Feasibility Study Application About the project SIRI (Safety, Inclusion, and Resilience Initiative) is a planned, development-oriented project (01 July 2026 30 June 2030) in Myanmar, covering Kachin State and Southern Shan State. The approach combines two EquiHubs as regional platforms with outreach and partner-led governance, documentation, and monitoring routines. The central objective is to increase meaningful participation of marginalised women and adolescent girls in community-level decision-making andwhere safe and feasiblesupport safe inclusion of other marginalised groups, including LGBTIQ+ persons. A feasibility study is required before implementation to validate critical assumptions, confirm safe and workable modalities under access constraints, and finalise operational set-up in line with BMZ/bengo Private Träger requirements and a clear boundary from service provision. Purpose of the assignment To assess whether the SIRI implementation approach is feasible, safe, and verifiable under current access and risk conditions and to provide decision-ready recommendations to finalise operational planning prior to implementation. The study must result in clear Go / Adjust / Do-not-proceed recommendations by component and geography, including conditions and triggers that must be met before implementation proceeds. Scope (summary) The consultant(s) will cover both target regions and all core components, including: Safe modalities to support womens participation in community decisions, including practical measures to reduce barriers and visibility risks Access and operational feasibility (mobility, permissions, security constraints, partner presence) EquiHub and outreach modalities under access constraints (including low-visibility options) Safeguarding, PSEAH, child safeguarding, confidentiality and minimum-data workflows Monitoring/verification options suitable for audit-traceability without collecting sensitive personal case data Updated risk analysis (triggers, mitigation, residual risk statements) Sequencing/critical path, decision thresholds, contingency options Roles and responsibilities across PMO/lead organisation and partners (RACI) Desk-based plausibility checks for selected unit-cost assumptions (as feasible) Out of scope: direct service delivery; collection of sensitive personal case data; any data collection that increases risk or visibility for participants.
