The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is embarking on the selection of implementing partners for the undertaking of a Comprehensive Assessment of Service Delivery Network on Gender-Based Violence (GBV). In light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its ambitious 15-year timeframe, there is a pressing need to humanize the pursuit of development objectives. This assessment aims to address this imperative within the context of the Philippines by comprehensively evaluating the service delivery network for addressing gender-based violence. By examining the effectiveness, accessibility, and responsiveness of existing services, this initiative seeks to inform and enhance future programming aimed at preventing and responding to GBV across the country.

The Implementing Partner (IP) will conduct an analysis of the overall effectiveness of the Service Delivery Network for Gender-based Violence (GBV) in the Philippines, aiming to identify gaps and recommend improvements for enhanced survivor support. This will involve mapping the current landscape of GBV services, evaluating operational effectiveness, assessing case management protocols, reviewing roles and responsibilities of primary actors, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and offering technical support for the development and implementation of a national action plan to end VAW in the Philippines.

The IP has to ensure that the study is conducted in an ethical and culturally sensitive manner, respecting the rights and dignity of all participants involved in the study process.

A more detailed description of the scope of work is provided in the Terms of Reference (see Annex B – Terms of Reference). The format for the project proposal is provided in the attached Annex of the same file (Annex A – Project Proposal Format), and should include the following:

-  Agency/Organizational Profile; Preliminary Technical/ Research Proposal; and Financial Proposal

Those interested in participating in the planned selection process should forward their expression of interest along with the detailed project proposal to United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), 15th Floor, North Tower Rockwell Business Center Sheridan Sheridan Street, corner United St, Mandaluyong, 1550, Philippines or thru email to gbv.sdn@unfpa.org.

The deadline of submission is on 31 May 2024, 5:00 p.m. Upon receipt of the required documents from prospective implementing partners, UNFPA will evaluate and assess applicants. Incomplete applications or applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
