Background
Oxfam is a member of Oxfam International (OI) – an international confederation of organizations working together with partners and allies around the world to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. On a global level, OI strives to help communities suffering because of natural disasters, climate change, conflict, injustice, and poverty. OI helps those communities who are most in need, whatever their race, creed, religion, ethnicity, or nationality. Oxfam has been working in oPt since 1982 and supports humanitarian, development, campaigning, and advocacy programs both in the West Bank and Gaza, including East Jerusalem.
Oxfam is implementing the five–year project, the "Palestinian Women and Girls Lead and Engage on Women Peace and Security in oPt," funded by the Government of the Netherlands. The project is led by a consortium of War Child, the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy-MIFTAH, Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling (WCLAC), and Oxfam in oPt; and is implemented in the West Bank and Gaza strip starting
Project Introduction
The project aims to supporting the civil society contributes to an enabling environment that empowers Palestinian women and girls to combat violence and uphold their agency in state, security, and peacebuilding processes. The project has three intermediate outcomes: Outcome 1- enhanced prevention of and protection from violence and human rights violations; Outcome 2- increased the meaningful participation of women, girls, and women's rights organizations (WRO) in decision-making processes at local, national, and international levels; Outcome 3- strengthened accountability for the rights of women and girls at national and international.
Project interventions address the issue of structural inequalities and violence against women and girls in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) - a long-standing problem that stems from the protracted Israeli occupation, political division between Palestinian factions and harmful social and patriarchal norms that continue to exacerbate marginalization of and violence against women and girls across the oPt.
MIFTAH and Oxfam will work on supporting the National Coalition for implementing the UNSCR 1325to develop and implement the UNSCR 1325 strategic advocacy plan2021-2024. MIFTAH will support the implementation of the Advocacy Strategy by conducting a mid-term and final evaluation. The results of these, coupled with the updated needs and priorities assessment initiated by MIFTAH will feed into the development of the third generation of the Advocacy Strategy 2024-2027. Oxfam will build the capacities of the UNSCR 1325 women’s coalition in international influencing and contribute to financial support for CSOs for the implementation of UNSCR 1325 strategic advocacy plan 2020-2023, complementary to MIFTAH. Each organization will focus on different pillars of the strategy, while using each other’s work to enhance complementarities.
Consequently, the purpose of this TOR is to seek a consultant to work closely with Oxfam to develop a training manual on national, regional and international advocacy, influencing mechanisms mapping collations and support groups. Noting that MIFTAH will work in parallel to develop a manual that focusses solely on international influencing using UN advocacy mechanisms.
