Consultancy to conduct evaluation of the PAMOJA Women-s Voice and Leadership Project under implementation by WFT Trust. Location: Selected regions in Tanzania WFT Trust is looking for suitable persons or firms to carry out an evaluation of the PAMOJA Women-s Voice and Leadership Project. Duration: One month Background: The PAMOJA Women Voice and Leadership (WVL) project is a five-year initiative (2018-2023) co-funded by the Irish Embassy and Global Affairs Canada and is implemented by Women Fund Tanzania Trust. This project has been in implementation for the past 3.5 years within a context that is challenging politically as well as socio-economically. The project was designed to specifically address key constraints to the women-s movement, by partly providing women-s rights organizations and networks with direct funding. Some of the key constraints identified at the design stage included: i) Limited conceptual clarity, articulation, and internalization of the feminist agenda and principles: ii) Poor coordination that has led to fragmented actions, voices, and the operation of Women Rights Organizations (WROs) in silos with inadequate collaboration among them: ii) Inadequate Women Rights Organizations institutional capacities, feminist leadership, and poor programming skills: iv) Intergenerational gap within most women organizations and movement: v) Low number of platforms for popularizing transformative feminism at national and grassroots levels. The support the project provides is intended to help WRO-s advance gender equality, empower women and protect their human rights by:  Improving the management and sustainability of local and national WROs  Strengthening the capacity of WROs to program and advocate to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls  Increasing the effectiveness of local and national women-s rights platforms, networks and alliances to affect policy. legal and social change Thus, PAMOJA WVL seeks to amplify women-s voices, strengthens women organisations and the larger women-s movement in Tanzania. It does so by brokering and facilitating partnerships between organisations, within the women-s movement and beyond. These partnerships additionally build the resilience and impact in advancing gender equality and human rights for women and girls. To achieve the desired outcomes, the project is focusing on two major areas: First is the strengthening of WROS and Women Organizations programmatic capacity in the women-s movement through better coordination, joint planning and implementation. Nontraditional actors and other marginalised groupings are purposefully included to join the mainstream movement for increased inclusivity and diversity. This deeply grounds the feminist agenda and is an approach that engages women more effectively in promoting social, policy, and legal changes for transformation. Second is the oversight of WROS that receive funding and institutional capacity building from WFT-Trust to further support the realization of their objectives. The goal is to contribute to a robust and sustainable women-s rights movement that is able to effectively deliver the mandate of these organizations through outreach. Since its inception, PAMOJA WVL has invested in interventions that strengthen WROs and other non-traditional actors in Tanzania by supporting them to enhance their performance through collaboration and collective social action. Grants have been made available to support the work and agency of women in different spheres of women political leadership and in strengthening collective action, voice and agency of women across the country in order to leverage sustainable change. Furthermore, much focus has been directed towards continued support to institutional growth and WROS financial sustainability. To achieve this the project has implemented interventions that focus on enhancing inclusivity, intergenerational and intersectionality of both the agenda and approaches to ensure maximum impacts and sustainable transformative changes that advance gender equality and promote women-s and girls- rights are achieved.
