Description
This Call for Proposal for CSO, divided into two (2) Lots, will be carried out in ASAL counties and shall target pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities, in particular, the most vulnerable groups like women and youth. Lot 1 shall focus on strengthening GBV (gender-based violence) and HTP (harmful traditional practices) prevention and response, including issues related to early marriages and female genital mutilation. This lot will include awareness-raising activities within schools to make boys and girls more aware of their rights and agents of change with respect to discriminatory social norms, stereotypes, and gender-related conflicts. Furthermore, it will promote targeted training and mentoring interventions within local Institutions aimed at ensuring better access to essential services. Advocacy activities will be carried out to empower communities to hold the county government accountable in order to ensure the elimination of violence against women and girls. Lot 2 shall strengthen the role of women in community decision-making dynamics with the goal of ensuring their equitable access to agricultural market and community land management, as well as in the development and implementation of climate change adaptation plans, which are becoming key especially in these areas often affected by drought and other adverse phenomenon.
