Expression of Interest For Consultancy Service To Enhance Gender Sensitive Approaches Among State And Non-State Actors To Prevent And Counter Violent Extremism (P/Cve) And Terrorism In East And Horn Of Africa

Expression of Interest are invited for Consultancy Service to Enhance Gender Sensitive Approaches among State and Non-State Actors to Prevent and Counter Violent Extremism (P/Cve) and Terrorism in East and Horn of Africa As the nascent field of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) continues to evolve in the region, it has largely remained blind to the gender dynamics with limited participation of women at the community, national and regional levels. It is imperative that gender perspectives are integrated in P/CVE and counter terrorism (CT) efforts to ensure that all human rights are upheld on the basis of equality between men and women, and without discrimination. It is on this background that the IGAD Centre of Excellence for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (ICEPCVE) in partnership with the Government of Sweden through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) designed a programme with the aim to contribute to narrowing gender gaps and amplifying the voice of women and their contribution in P/CVE work in the Horn and East Africa region. The Folke Bernadotte Academy (FBA), the Swedish agency for peace, security and development has in course of implementing the project supported capacity development including provision of technical support in development and delivery of training as well as advised on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) subject to ICEPCVEs needs. The programme which commenced on 01 December 2022 and ends on 30 May 2024 seeks to enhance gender sensitive approaches in P/CVE by state and non-state actors including legislators, criminal justice officers, researchers, media practitioners, youth and CSOs drawn from nine select countries: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda to detect and interrupt violent extremism.
