TERMS OF REFERENCE
NATIONAL CONSULTANT FOR FINAL
EVALUATION OF UN WOMEN PROGRAM ON WOMEN PEACE AND SECURITY
I. Background
In 2011 UN
Women signed an agreement with the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in to
implement a project entitled, ‘Development of the Indonesian National Action
Plan on Women Peace and Security’.
The project’s main goal is to strengthen the peace building process and
post-conflict governance in Indonesia support gender equality. The project has
two objectives: to increase the commitment to implement the National Action
Plan on Women Peace and Security; and to implement the NAP on Women Peace and
Security in the project sites of Aceh and Papua.
Since 2011 the program has been focused on developing the National
Action Plan on Women Peace and Security as well as promoting roles of grass
root women groups in peace building. UN
Women provided technical assistance to develop the National Action Plan by
working closely with a working groups consisting of representatives of
government, women’s groups and members of academia which was established and
chaired by the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment to take forward the development
of the Plan. This approach was also taken to ensure buy-in from these
stakeholders.
Through these years
of providing technical assistance to and supporting the process of NAP 1325
development, including building partnership and ownership among multi
stakeholders, the Government of Indonesia has finally endorsed the national
action plan in 2014 through the Ministry of People’s Welfare Regulation 7/2014
on Protection and Empowerment of Women and Children in Social Conflict.
The Indonesian National Action Plan advocacy process
focused on building greater awareness of women’s role in conflict negotiation
and peace building processes, strengthening the capacity of various
stakeholders within government and CSOs and, importantly, building a strong
constituency and ownership of the National Action Plan to ensure accountability
in its implementation.
The NAP sets forth
measures that government should implement to ensure protection and fulfilment
of women’s rights in prevention and resolving of conflict and in peace building
through an inter-ministries coordination mechanism. NAP ownership resides
with the key line ministries, including: the Ministries of Planning (Bappenas), Human Rights and Law,
Politics and Security and Home Affairs, provincial governments, civil society
organizations, groups and networks and academia.
In addition to the development of the Action
Plan at the national level, capacity building for women peace activist and the
government has been initiated at the provincial level in Papua and Aceh.
Capacitating women’s groups is deemed necessary to foster their participation
in monitoring the implementation of polices related to peace building,
including the National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.
As stipulated in the project framework, in the final year of the program
implementation UN Women plans to conduct a final program implementation, which
will evaluate all project components. This is a way to assess programme
results, review strategies and provide forward-looking recommendations that aim
to improve future program. UN Women is therefore seeking a National Consultant
who will conduct a final evaluation of the project.
