Request for proposals for Media & Advocacy Consultancy (West Bank based companies) RAWAFED - Reclaiming Palestinian Agency; Evidence, Dialogue, and Social Cohesion Background The Carter Center (TCC) is leading the implementation of the Reclaiming Palestinian Agency: Evidence, Dialogue, and Social Cohesion project, which aims to strengthen inclusive civic engagement, social cohesion, and pathways for political revitalization across the West Bank (WB) and Gaza in a context of deep fragmentation, weakened political representation, and eroded public trust. This project is a grant from Expertise France with funding from the European Union, This media and advocacy consultancy is an activity under the Expertise France-funded project and is intended to support dissemination, outreach, and public engagement around project findings and outcomes. Introduction The Reclaiming Agency: Evidence, Dialogue, and Social Cohesion project responds to deep and persistent tensions within the Palestinian political and social sphere, driven by weak political representation, fragmentation, and a growing disconnect between the Palestinian public and its leadership. These dynamics have eroded trust, limited institutional responsiveness, and constrained the ability of civil society and media actors to contribute meaningfully to political revitalization and social cohesion. In Gaza, the devastation, displacement, and collective trauma resulting from the war have significantly intensified these challenges. At the same time, the post-ceasefire context has created an urgent opening for initiatives that can rebuild trust, strengthen social cohesion, and re-anchor civic engagement through locally grounded action. Youth-led media initiatives, journalists, and digital influencers play a critical role in shaping public discourse, amplifying inclusive narratives, and connecting communities under conditions of restricted civic space. Scope of Work One of the projects expected results is that inclusive dialogue and trust among stakeholders are strengthened through evidence-based, locally driven actions; the project translates evidence-based analysis into locally driven civic dialogue and advocacy.
