Project Title: MENA Feminist Power in Action for Women’s Economic Rights (FemPawer)

Country: Regional (Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Tunisia)

The FemPawer program is a collaborative initiative designed to empower young women facing multiple forms of economic gender-based violence (E/GBV) discrimination in Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Tunisia. Its primary aim is to strengthen these young women’s capacities to become leaders for change by holding duty bearers accountable and advocating for improved working conditions. Through targeted activities, FemPawer ensures that marginalized young women become advocates for their own rights, proposing relevant solutions and actionable recommendations.

The FemPawer Theory of Change (ToC) aims to empower young women and Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs) through four interconnected objectives. First, it seeks to establish and maintain safe online and offline spaces where young women and WROs feel secure, enabling them to engage in advocacy and mobilization by strengthening protection mechanisms and leveraging international support. Second, it focuses on fostering inclusive learning and leadership within the program and consortium, promoting innovative, intersectional approaches that amplify diverse voices and experiences. Third, it builds advocacy and leadership capacities for young women and WROs, enabling them to become legitimate actors in advancing social mobilization, alliance-building, and lobbying for gender-responsive change. Finally, it emphasizes designing evidence-based, target-led advocacy interventions that mobilize communities and alliances at local, regional, and international levels to influence decision-makers, address E/GBV, and establish gender-responsive accountability mechanisms. Together, these efforts aim to create sustainable, inclusive, and impactful change for women’s economic rights across the program’s focus areas. See Annex 1 for more details on the ToC.

Focusing on leadership development, challenging prevailing social norms, and promoting women’s economic rights (WER), this five-year program (January 2021 to December 2025) is led by a consortium of four organizations: the Arab Women Organization (AWO), the Collective for Research & Training on Development – Action (CRTDA), The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation, and the Palestinian Working Women's Society for Development (PWWSD). The program engages a network of 38 diverse Women's Rights Organizations (WROs), referred to as Partner Organizations (POs), varying in size, experience, geographical reach, and focus areas. By fostering collaboration and capacity building, FemPawer contributes to a more inclusive and equitable environment for young women in the MENA region.

FemPawer is implemented in strategic partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands (MFA) as part of their Power of Women grant instrument.

The FemPawer consortium is seeking the services of expert feminist consultants to conduct an End-Term Evaluation (ETE) of the program implemented by consortium partners taking into consideration feedback from POs in each country . This final evaluation is a learning and accountability opportunity for us to document shifts we have seen and contributed to during the five years of our programme.
