CONSULTANT (ToR): To conduct a technical review and edit

Introduction

In February 2023, UNFPA, MoWSA, and GBV stakeholders developed the National SOPs for GBV Prevention, Risk Mitigation, and Response, which outline minimum actions, survivor-centered principles, and clear roles for actors in Ethiopia. The SOPs were translated into Amharic to improve accessibility for frontline staff; however, the translation requires a comprehensive technical review to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with GBV standards. The consultant will therefore undertake a full technical review of the entire Amharic SOP document (approximately 250 pages), identifying and correcting sections where the translation is linguistically correct but technically inadequate. This includes harmonizing terminology across all chapters, covering GBV, SRH, case management, MHPSS, and justice/legal affairs, while maintaining a survivor-centered tone and clarity. In addition, the consultant will prepare a glossary of GBV terms in Amharic to support future consistency and deliver draft and final versions of the reviewed document in Word and PDF formats.
