Addis Ababa, Ethiopia American Friends Service Committee Countries: Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda Organization: American Friends Service Committee Closing date: 15 May 2024 1. Background The Salama Hub is the AFSC Research and Advocacy hub that is focused on promoting peace and stability in the Horn of Africa. It was established in 2021 and provides an enabling environment for a stronger collaboration with Civil Society Organizations and Faith Leaders in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda. The Salama Hub works to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations (CSO) and faith-based organizations (FBOs) in the region to organize and influence policies on the local, regional, national, and global levels. Through the Salama Hub, CSOs and FBOs are equipped with tools and knowledge on conflict transformation and advocacy. The hub ensures that African Civil societies and Faith-Based organisation are well equipped and effectively engage with regional bodies and governments including IGAD, AU, UN, EU, EAC and State department in Africa, Europe, and the United States for peace and stability in the Horn of Africa. In February 2021, AFSC and the All Africa Conference of Churches, AACC, developed and started the implementation of a Joint Project on research and advocacy for the Horn of Africa with a project cycle of three years (2021-2023). The implementation of this project brought encouraging results in the light of research and advocacy. Lessons drawn from this project paved the way for another phase of the Joint Project between the two Strategic Partner Organizations (AFSC and AACC) with a financial contribution from Brot fur die Welt, BfdW, which will be implemented for three years (2024 – 2026). The Horn of Africa region remains one of the world’s most fragile in the world with several countries having experienced decades of conflict. Other countries oscillate between temporary stability and conflict. This current project phase hopes to influence policy at different levels with institutional stakeholders in Africa, Europe, and America for peace and stability. The project will further equip Civil Society Organizations and Faith-Based Organizations in the Horn of Africa region with evidence from research for policy influencing. AFSC and BfdW have developed an Advocacy Strategy for Peace and Stability 2023 – 2033 for the Horn of Africa. This is a long-term vision for the Horn of Africa. It is expected that other actors in the Horn of Africa and beyond will collaborate to make the Horn of Africa and beyond safe. 2. The assignment AFSC would like to hire the services of a gender expert to carry out a gender analysis in the Horn of Africa region through the peacebuilding lens. 3. Gender Analysis in Peace building context. Gender analysis is a key component to mainstreaming gender equality within peacebuilding and development programs. Understanding the barriers and risks faced by women, girls, boys, and men together with their various gender-specific needs is integral in effective design and implementation of peacebuilding initiatives and addressing gender inequality. To implement gender-sensitive and gender-transformative peacebuilding initiatives, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the specific needs, interests, vulnerabilities, capacities, and barriers to participation of girls, boys, women, and men in the region. The pre-existing gender inequalities and conflict situation in HoA has increased the vulnerability and the lack of participation of women, girls, boys, including persons with disabilities as they are exposed to many challenges. These include patriarchal and cultural barriers, risks of GBV, access to economic resources among others. It is against this background that AFSC would like to commissioning a consultant or consultancy firm to conduct a gender analysis to identify the different needs, abilities, interests, and risks faced by girls, boys, women, and men, including persons with disabilities and coping mechanisms in peace and conflict situations... The analysis will further focus on gender roles and time use, decision-making and power dynamics in (household, community, national and regional levels), access to and control of resources, meaningful participation and decision making at all levels. The gender analysis is also expected to bring out the gaps and barriers to women girls, women participation in (Peacebuilding, policy advocacy) for intervention. As such, the analysis will further unpack the structural drivers of conflict as well as existing coping strategies through joint and gender-disaggregated Focus Group Discussions and interviews. The conflict analysis will be used to discuss the functionality of existing dispute resolution redress mechanisms. 4.

What are their abilities, interests, barriers, and risks they face; and coping strategies, to build understanding of how the peacebuilding activities can be used to champion gender equality. The analysis is also expected to unpack the barriers to peacebuilding efforts, structural drivers of conflicts, underlying tensions and grievances, and functionality of existing dispute resolution redress mechanisms, as well as existing coping strategies in gender disaggregated data It will also focus on different gender roles, time use, decision-making and power dynamics in (household, community, national and regional level) access to and control of resources, meaningful participation in peace initiatives, opportunities, decision making at all levels. 5.
