Capacity Assessments for Partner CSOs
Strategic Partnership – Green and Inclusive Energy
Background
As
part of the Citizen Agency Consortium, Hivos will work with partners to
influence international policies and funds that are relevant for
green/inclusive energy systems under its Dialogue and Dissent strategic
partnership program with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Green
and Inclusive Energy: a solution to sustainable growth.
Green
and inclusive energy systems are designed, implemented and operated
using transparent and participatory processes that include women and
men, CSOs and meet people’s energy needs for their daily activities,
livelihoods, education and health, while reducing climate change.
In
aiming for green and inclusive energy systems there is also a goal to
develop capacities of both partner organisations and Hivos staff on how
to effectively lobby and advocate for this goal. The capacity
development efforts of this programme will focus less on technical
energy issues and more on approaches to change. This includes
multi-actor engagement, transition approaches, linking grassroots
reality to high level policy and effective L&A and communication
strategies in a highly politicised and sensitive context.
Objectives
The main objectives of this consultancy are:
- To conduct internal capacity assessments for Hivos and (at least) 4 other partner CSOs to identify prioritized lobby and advocacy goals and outcomes.
- To produce in a timely manner a final report comprising CSOs’ internal capacity strengths and needs.
- To facilitate the crosschecking and validation process with the involved partner CSOs.
A draft key findings report by 17 October, 2016.
Presentation of the key findings and crosschecking to Hivos and partners by 21 October 2016.
