Tenders Are Invited For Consultancy To Conduct Analysis Of Intersections Between Climate, Mhpss And Gender Equality

Tenders are invited for Consultancy to Conduct Analysis of Intersections between Climate, Mhpss and Gender Equality Section 2. Objectives, Tasks & Deliverables Against this background, this consultancy aims to provide a desk review to: a) Provide an in-depth analysis and improved understanding of the intersections, rationale and potential synergies in climate, MHPSS and gender programming, tools and concepts. b) Suggest preliminary indicators that address all three components (i.e. mental health outcomes, gender outcomes, and climate adaptation outcomes) building on exiting resources in each area and describe implications for MEAL frameworks. c) Provide evidence-based and experience-based recommendations for strengthened integration of climate adaptation/MHPSS/gender equality in programming and policy, including key barriers and opportunities. This analysis will assist Save the Children Denmark and the MHPSS Collaborative in laying the groundwork for developing common indicators, harmonizing terminologies, integrating tools and methodologies, and guiding the improved integration of these elements into current and future programming and policy initiatives. The tasks planned under the consultancy will include: A brief state of play of existing knowledge on climate/MHPSS/gender interlinkages, drivers and key gaps - scientific & grey literature review & interviews with key actors (e.g. climate and health team in WHO), Tentative research questions: What are the main intersections, potential synergies and gaps in climate/gender equality/MHPSS programming? What are the key umbrella theories/frameworks and boundary terminologies that allow for integration of climate/MHPSS/gender in programming/advocacy, what has proved successful to date? How are mental health impacts of climate change for women/boys/girls measured? Providing key recommendations for what to consider when developing an integrated framework, streamlining and shared vocabulary - review of selected approaches (e.g. resilience framework, social justice framework etc.) Conduct a brief mapping of relevant existing tools and methodologies applied to climate-, MHPSS- and gender assessments that have integration potential and provide concrete suggestions for integration. Review of current indicators and suggest preliminary indicators to track the integration of climate change, gender, and MHPSS in programming in different contexts and describe implications for MEAL frameworks e.g. how existing frameworks for MHPSS monitoring and evaluation could be adapted to include climate change and gender indicators and vice versa. Provide recommendations and highlight opportunities for action for the wider humanitarian and development sector for better integration of climate/MHPSS/gender equality in programming effectiveness and policy development in these areas and identify areas for further research to strengthen integration. Recommend opportunities for integration of key MHPSS messages into climate, SRHR and education priorities for the next Danish Development Policy Strategy 2026-30 Closing Date: 29 Sep 2024 Type: Consultancy Themes: Climate Change and Environment/Health/Protection and Human Rights Tender Link : https://reliefweb.int/job/4095940/consultancy-conduct-analysis-intersections-between-climate-mhpss-and-gender-equality
