Location: Ethiopia
Deadline: 11 July 2023
Job Description
The Freedom Fund is looking for a Partnerships Officer to provide support to and work closely with the Partnerships team across a range of tasks. This role is responsible for contributing to the success of the Partnerships team by undertaking a range of donor research, systems tasks and team support team and working with the Events function to ensure the success of internal and external events.
Summary
The Freedom Fund (freedomfund.org) is a global non-profit organisation that identifies and invests in the most effective frontline efforts to eradicate human trafficking and exploitation. In 2021, the Freedom Fund (with funding from Minderoo Foundation’s Walk Free Initiative) sponsored a pilot program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, that focused
on vocational training and formal employment for 200 Ethiopian women survivors of slavery.
If successful, such a scheme could help to address a significant gap not just in the Freedom Fund’s existing Ethiopia Hotspot program but in anti-slavery programs globally – namely the absence of proven pathways to formal employment for survivors and those most vulnerable to slavery. The Freedom Fund is seeking an external evaluator to assess the impact of the pilot project, provide valuable information to inform project design, and assess the scalability of the model post-pilot.
The Freedom Fund anticipates this consultancy to commence in July 2023, with a hard deadline to complete all the contractual deliverables by October 2023.
Eligibility
Individuals or organisations with relevant qualitative and quantitative research experience are invited to submit proposals for this evaluation. The lead applicant must be a legally registered entity according to the laws of the country in which it operates.
Budget
A fee of approximately USD$15,000 has been made available for this research. Proposals with budgets that are higher or lower will still be considered. Budgets will be reviewed with respect to the rigour of the proposed methodology and relevant experience of the team to meet the project objectives in a cost-effective manner – we do
not simply prioritise the lowest budget. This is a fee-for-service contract.
Proposal deadline
Proposals should be submitted via email to Matilde Chora (mchora@freedomfund.org) no later than 5pm UK time on 11 July 2023. Proposals should be no more than 4 pages, plus CV(s) and annexes.
