Call for Expression of Interest: Consulting firm or Company to conduct a baseline survey and Assessments

Background: The Network of Ethiopian Women’s Associations (NEWA) is a non-partisan, non-governmental national network established in 2003. Currently, NEWA has 50-member local associations and organizations working together for a strong advocacy voice for gender equality and women’s political, socio-economic, and legal advancement.

NEWA has a twofold goal:

1. To synchronize the of women’s associations into a cohesive collective effort, fostering synergy to achieve common goals for gender equality.
2. To launch robust public campaigns aimed at promoting, advocating for, and lobbying for women’s rights.

NEWA is guided by its Five-Year Strategic Plan, and research and evidence-based advocacy is one of the overarching and strategic objectives. NEWA has made significant strides in addressing the gender gap across the nation and amplifying women’s voices in collaboration with both local and international partners.

NEWA, in partnership with the UN Trust Fund, is implementing a project titled “Improving Legal and Service Response to SGBV in Conflict-Affected Areas of Ethiopia.” The project aims to strengthen the implementation of legislation, policies, national action plans, service standards, and accountability mechanisms to prevent and respond effectively to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Ethiopia.

The project will be implemented at both national and regional levels, with a focus on Amhara, Tigray, and Benishangul-Gumuz regions.

As part of this initiative, NEWA seeks to engage a qualified consulting firm or company to conduct a baseline survey and two assessments to support evidence-based programming and improved service delivery.
