Tenders are invited for Consultancy to Support the Development of the DG MENA Project. Closing Date: 22 Jul 2025 Type: Consultancy ORGANISATION Terre des Hommes (Tdh) Foundation Lausanne Established in 1960, Terre des Hommes (Tdh) is the leading Swiss organisation for childrens aid. The Foundation works to protect vulnerable children and their communities by delivering humanitarian aid and long-term development programs worldwide, regardless of race, creed, or political affiliation. Tdh operates in over 45 countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Palestine, through three key intervention pillars: Direct aid to children and youth in need, managed either directly or through local partnerships. Capacity-building for national and local actors to promote sustainable child protection. Advocacy for childrens rights through campaigns and legal frameworks, especially the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC, 1989). Tdhs main thematic areas include Health, Migration, and Access to Justice. Tdh began operations in Syria in 2021 and is now a recognized actor in the field of child protection, especially in juvenile justice and emergency relief. 2. BACKGROUND DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT Although Syria is a signatory to the CRC and possesses a legal framework for juvenile justice, the country continues to face severe implementation challenges. These include: Limited access to specialized legal aid for children in conflict with the law. Prolonged detentions without psychosocial or reintegration support. Lack of adequately trained staff and child-sensitive detention environments. Systemic justice issues exacerbated by conflict and institutional mistrust. The political transition following the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024 has further stressed Syrias fragile justice system, but also presents a critical window of opportunity for systemic reform. Purpose of the Assignment In this transitional context, Tdh aims to co-lead a consortium to be directly awarded funding by the European Union Delegation for a project that strengthens prison management and detention conditions, in line with human rights standards, and particularly focusing on children. The consultant will support the development of a robust, contextually grounded full project proposal, ensuring alignment with the EUs objectives, partner inputs, and field realities. 3. OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT General Objective To lead and coordinate the development and drafting of the full proposal for the EU-funded project under the DG MENA framework, on behalf of Terre des Hommes and its consortium partners. Specific Objectives Lead an inception meeting with consortium partners and draft a workplan and timeline. Liaise with team leads, programme coordinators, and advisors to gather inputs. Conduct a secondary literature review to inform the full proposal. Draft the full narrative proposal, logframe, and relevant annexes in EU templates. Ensure coherence between narrative, logframe, and budget. Incorporate all feedback from partners and finalize all documentation. [Disclaimer: The above text is machine translated.
