Tenders Are Invited For Consultancy To Develop A Practical, User-Friendly Conflict Sensitivity Tool Tailored To Forb-Related Interventions

Tenders are invited for Consultancy to Develop a Practical, User-Friendly Conflict Sensitivity Tool Tailored to FoRB-Related Interventions Joint Initiative for Strategic Religious Action (JISRA) Date Added: May 7, 2025 Deadline: 14/05/2025 Category: Consultancy 1. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT The specific objectives of the project are: The objective of this consultancy is to develop a practical, user-friendly Conflict Sensitivity Tool tailored to FoRB-related interventions. This tool will help assess risks, anticipate potential conflicts, and provide strategies for integrating conflict sensitivity into FoRB programming across different contexts. The tool will also include guidance on mainstreaming gender-sensitive conflict analysis, stakeholder engagement, and best practices in designing and implementing conflict-sensitive programming. The consultant will be responsible for: Conducting a desk review of existing conflict sensitivity frameworks and best practices in FoRB programming. Engaging with key stakeholders (civil society, religious actors, government agencies, and donors) to gather insights on FoRB-related conflict risks and mitigation strategies. Developing a draft Conflict Sensitivity Tool, including practical guidelines, case studies, and assessment methodologies. Designing and conducting a workshop to validate the draft tool with stakeholders, incorporating real-world challenges and lessons learned. Finalizing the tool based on feedback and ensuring its accessibility in multiple formats (e.g., digital, print, and local language translations). Producing training materials (slide decks, user manuals) to support capacity-building initiatives on using the tool. Conduct a focused review of legal frameworks affecting FoRB, using Nigeria as a case study. This includes national and sub-national laws, particularly constitutional guarantees versus Sharia penal codes, and their implications for blasphemy-related prosecutions. While Nigeria is the focal context, the review should generate insights that are applicable across other countries by identifying general legal patterns and tensions that affect FoRB globally. Analyze emblematic legal cases like those of Faruk and Rhoda Jatau in Nigeria to extract practical, conflict-sensitive legal and policy recommendations. These examples should serve as illustrations within a broader, adaptable framework suitable for use in other contexts, rather than forming the sole basis of the toolkit. Facilitate stakeholder engagement sessions with legal experts, civil society, and community actors to explore the interplay between statutory law, religious law enforcement practices, and broader socio-political dynamics. While legal tensions are a focus, discussions should also consider historical, social, cultural, and environmental factors that influence FoRB-related conflict sensitivity. Integrate guidance on media and advocacy into the tool, including principles for conflict-sensitive journalism and strategies for responsible public engagement on FoRB issues.
