(SoH) is announcing an open tender procedure for external independent financial audit services in Kenya and Ethiopia. Background and Organisational Setting SoH is a Christian motivated organisation for Human Rights, Humanitarian Assistance and Development Cooperation. Based in Constance, Germany, SoH is dedicated to helping those in distress and exploited people worldwide. The audits are commissioned under the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) funding guidelines for development projects run by private German executing agencies. SoH will be the private German executing agency and the contracting party, with Caritas Marsabit, Spiritan Community Outreach Ethiopia(SCORE), Caritas Lodwar, and Coordination Office of the Social and Development Commission of the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC-SDCO) being the local implementing agencies. The goal of this project is to contribute to food security and peaceful coexistence of agro-pastoralists and pastoralists in the border region between Kenya and Ethiopia. The project targets hard to reach and marginalized Pastoralist and agro-pastoralists living in hard to reach cross border area. Weak Humanitarian, Development and Peace (HDP) nexus characterize the area bordering Ethiopia and Kenya. The project targets 94,325 pastoralists and agro-pastoralist living in Marsabit and Turkana Counties (Kenya) and South Omo and Borana zone (Ethiopia). As a result, the marginalized and hard to reach pastoralists and agro pastoralists living across the border are characterized by chronic humanitarian conditions that are further exacerbated by poor/lack of developmental initiatives compounded by chronic resource (pasture and water) based conflicts leading to loss of lives and livelihood, limited capacity and coordination among partners across the border and climate related shocks. There is persistent and unacceptably high food and nutrition insecurity, poor livelihood options and social (health and education) services, as well as poor livestock marketing and limited financial services. Also, 85% of the population in the target areas live on a below average annual income. The area is being affected by recurring drought due to both natural disasters (climate change-induced) and man-made (overgrazing, and deforestation for firewood and charcoal). To address these interrelated factors the project will develop and strengthen cross border coordination for HDP triple nexus actors, establish and/or strengthen multi-level peace building and advocacy structures and promote livelihoods (village saving and lending associations and promotion of livestock marketing). Audit Objectives The purpose of the in-depth audits is to provide SoH with a sound basis for its accountability, transparency and accuracy in the financial disclosure towards the funding agency BMZ.

A consultant todesign and deliver a contextualized mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programme for children, facilitators and caregivers
Country: Somalia Organization: Adventist Development and Relief Agency International Closing date: 12 Dec 2025 REQUEST FOR CONSULTANTS The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is a global humanitarian organization with a mission to work with people in poverty and distress to create just and positive changes. ADRA Somalia belongs to the worldwide network, comprised of more than 130 supporting and implementing country offices. ADRA Somalia is seeking to recruit a consultant to design and deliver a contextualized mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programme for children, facilitators and caregivers. Background Information There is an increasing global recognition that human development must go beyond the acquisition of academic knowledge or technical skills to encompass the holistic wellbeing of individuals and communities. While literacy, numeracy, and livelihood skills remain vital, they alone are insufficient to enable individuals particularly those living in fragile and crisis-affected settings to thrive. To navigate today’s complex and often uncertain world, people must also demonstrate strong emotional resilience, self-awareness, empathy, interpersonal competence, and responsible decision-making. These competencies form the foundation of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), a critical domain that addresses the emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual dimensions of human wellbeing. Research and practice globally affirm that learning and development are deeply social and emotional processes. People learn and grow through relationships, through interaction with facilitators, peers, families, and the broader community. Positive emotional states foster engagement, concentration, and motivation, whereas fear, anxiety, or prolonged stress can significantly diminish an individual’s ability to function, learn, and connect with others. For children and adolescents, in particular, stable and nurturing relationships are essential buffers against trauma and adversity. Without psychosocial stability, even the most well-designed learning interventions struggle to achieve meaningful outcomes. In Somalia, the need for structured and community-based MHPSS interventions has become particularly urgent. Decades of conflict, cyclical droughts, displacement, and chronic poverty have eroded traditional support systems, leaving many individuals especially children and youth exposed to multiple layers of psychological distress. The 2023 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) highlighted that millions of young people continue to face displacement, loss, and insecurity, leading to heightened levels of anxiety, grief, and behavioural challenges. Families and caregivers, themselves burdened by hardship and uncertainty, often lack the resources, time, and coping strategies needed to support the emotional recovery of their children. In such a context, the role of community-based learning and support spaces becomes indispensable. These spaces are often the firstand sometimes only platforms where children, youth, and caregivers can rebuild a sense of safety, belonging, and hope. Yet, most facilitators and caregivers operating in these environments have limited or no training in psychosocial support. As a result, opportunities for early identification of distress and timely intervention are frequently missed, and the potential of community actors to foster healing remains underutilized. Integrating MHPSS into community learning initiatives and social programming is therefore not a luxury but a necessity. It transforms learning spaces and community gatherings into safe, nurturing environments that help individuals recover from trauma, develop positive coping mechanisms, and strengthen social connectedness. When facilitators, caregivers, and learners are equipped with psychosocial competencies, they become active agents of healing, capable of supporting themselves and others through crisis. Globally, agencies such as UNICEF, Save the Children, UNHCR, and the Norwegian Refugee Council have demonstrated that layered, community-based MHPSS interventions ranging from peer-support groups and caregiver circles to expressive arts and mindfulness-based learning, can significantly enhance emotional wellbeing, resilience, and academic or livelihood outcomes. These interventions also strengthen social cohesion, reduce stigma around mental health, and promote inclusive recovery for displaced and vulnerable populations. In Somalia’s evolving humanitarian landscape, where prolonged stress and displacement have become normalized, prioritizing mental health and psychosocial wellbeing is both a moral and strategic imperative. MHPSS enables individuals and communities to rebuild trust, recover a sense of dignity, and reimagine their future. When learners, facilitators, and caregivers are supported to understand and manage emotions, communicate effectively, and nurture hope, they contribute directly to peacebuilding and social stability. In this light, ADRA Somalia’s initiative to design and deliver a comprehensive MHPSS training programme for children, facilitators, and caregivers responds to an urgent national need. It represents a practical and transformative investment in human capital, one that strengthens the emotional foundations of recovery and ensures that learning, in all its forms, becomes a pathway to healing, resilience, and sustainable development. Purpose and Objective of the Consultancy Community spaces and social support structures are more than venues for information sharing; they are vital ecosystems of human connection, emotional growth, and collective healing. They provide structure, belonging, and a sense of purpose that are essential for the holistic development of children, youth, and adults alike. In crisis-affected contexts such as Somalia, where conflict, drought, and displacement have fragmented families and communities, these spaces often serve as the only stable anchors of normalcy, hope, and continuity. When learning and social engagement are disrupted whether by conflict, forced displacement, or the collapse of essential services, the effects reach far beyond the interruption of educational progress. Individuals, particularly children and adolescents, are deprived of safe and supportive interactions that nurture emotional wellbeing and social identity. The absence of regular routines and meaningful engagement increases stress, anxiety, and social withdrawal, and may trigger harmful coping behaviors such as aggression, isolation, or despair. Over time, these psychosocial challenges can undermine resilience, strain family relationships, and weaken community cohesion. For vulnerable and marginalized groups including displaced children, adolescents living in poverty, and persons with disabilities, the psychosocial impact is even more severe. Many face multiple and compounding adversities that limit their access to learning opportunities, emotional support, and protective networks. For them, participation in community learning and peer-based activities is not just a chance to gain knowledge, but a lifeline to safety, belonging, and recovery. In such circumstances, the role of facilitators, caregivers, and community actors becomes critically important. They are often the first and most consistent points of contact for children and youth experiencing distress. Yet, in many communities, these frontline actors lack the knowledge, tools, and confidence to identify psychosocial challenges, provide basic emotional support, or safely refer individuals to specialized services. This capacity gap limits the ability of communities to prevent further harm and to nurture the emotional recovery and development of their members. In response to these challenges, ADRA Somalia is initiating a Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Training Programme targeting children, facilitators, and caregivers across community-based learning and social support platforms. The consultancy will design and implement this training as an integrated capacity-building initiative that strengthens local knowledge, builds resilience, and promotes sustainable, community-led support systems for wellbeing. The purpose of the consultancy is therefore to develop, contextualize, and deliver a comprehensive MHPSS and PFA training package that equips community facilitators, caregivers, and children with the skills and resources to promote emotional wellbeing, manage stress, and support recovery from trauma. The specific objectives are to: Develop a structured and culturally relevant MHPSS training curriculum aligned with international standards (IASC, INEE, UNICEF, UNHCR) and adapted to the Somali context. Strengthen the capacities of community facilitators and caregivers to recognize signs of distress, apply basic psychosocial support techniques, and build safe, inclusive, and nurturing environments for children and youth. Empower children with emotional regulation, problem-solving, and coping skills to help them navigate adversity and strengthen their resilience. Establish practical linkages between learning spaces, households, and community support networks to ensure continuity of psychosocial care and referral. Promote a culture of wellbeing, empathy, and inclusion across communities, transforming learning environments into safe and healing spaces that foster individual and collective recovery. This initiative is both timely and transformative. By prioritizing mental health and psychosocial wellbeing as integral components of learning and community development, ADRA Somalia affirms that true recovery goes beyond rebuilding infrastructure or delivering content, it involves healing minds, restoring dignity and strengthening the social fabric that sustains peace and progress. Scope of Work and Timeline of Activities The consultancy is expected to officially commence in January 2026. Prior to the start of activities, the selected consultant(s) will be required to submit a comprehensive technical and financial proposal outlining the proposed number of consultancy days, daily professional rate, and a realistic, results-oriented work plan. This proposal will serve as the foundation for discussion and final agreement between the consultant and ADRA Somalia. The proposal should clearly define a structured work plan with specific deliverables, methodologies, and timelines, to be reviewed and validated during the inception phase. The consultancy is expected to follow a phased approach to ensure coherence, accountability, and quality in delivery. As a guideline, the consultancy will include the following key phases: Phase 1: Inception and Planning This phase will focus on establishing a shared understanding of the assignment’s objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes. The consultant will: Engage with ADRA Somalia and relevant stakeholders to clarify expectations, scope, and logistical arrangements. Review existing MHPSS frameworks, prior interventions, and available resources to ensure alignment with international and national standards. Finalize the conceptual framework, proposed training architecture, and timeline. Submit an Inception Report summarizing the agreed approach, detailed methodology, deliverables, and schedule. Expected Output: Approved Inception Report with refined methodology and work plan. Phase 2: Pre-Training Preparation and Materials Development Building on insights from the inception phase, this stage will involve in-depth contextualization and preparation of training materials. The consultant will: Conduct a rapid training needs assessment to identify knowledge, attitude, and practice gaps among facilitators, learners, and caregivers. Review existing MHPSS training packages (e.g., HEART, BLP, Caring for the Caregiver, IASC/INEE frameworks) and adapt or synthesize content relevant to the Somali context. Develop or refine a comprehensive MHPSS Training Manual with differentiated modules for learners, facilitators, and caregivers. Prepare visual aids, activity sheets, and session plans to support participatory delivery. Share draft materials with ADRA and stakeholders for review and validation prior to the training. Expected Output: Contextualized MHPSS Training Manual and accompanying tools validated by ADRA Somalia. Phase 3: Training Workshop Implementation This phase will focus on delivering the MHPSS capacity-building activities. The consultant will: Conduct Training of Trainers (ToT) sessions for selected master trainers, facilitators, and community focal points. Facilitate direct, face-to-face trainings for learners, facilitators, and caregivers in community learning spaces and social support hubs. Employ experiential and interactive training methodologies (role plays, group reflection, storytelling, art-based exercises, and peer-learning circles). Provide coaching and mentoring support to trained facilitators and caregivers, ensuring practical application and sustainability of skills. Collect participant feedback and document key lessons learned throughout the sessions. Expected Output: Trained cohorts of facilitators, caregivers, and learners equipped with MHPSS competencies and practical tools for implementation.

Each phase builds on the previous one, culminating in a practical, field-tested, and scalable MHPSS training package that strengthens community resilience and psychosocial wellbeing across Somalia. Methodology Active participation will be the cornerstone of the methodology applied in this consultancy. The consultant is expected to adopt a participatory, inclusive, and context-sensitive approach that ensures meaningful engagement of all relevant stakeholders particularly learning facilitators, caregivers, community representatives, and local authorities throughout the design, implementation, and evaluation phases of the assignment. The methodology should recognize that psychosocial wellbeing is both an individual and collective experience, and that lasting impact is achieved when communities themselves take ownership of the process. To this end, the consultant will employ approaches that promote collaboration, mutual learning, and empowerment of participants. In developing the methodology, the consultant is expected to propose a cost-effective yet high-impact strategy that balances efficiency with depth of engagement. The proposed approach should: Reflect a clear understanding of the Somali context, including social norms, cultural dynamics, and the psychosocial realities of communities affected by conflict and displacement; Integrate adult learning principles, experiential methods, and creative facilitation techniques that encourage active participation, self-reflection, and skill practice; Apply trauma-sensitive and gender-responsive approaches to ensure emotional safety, inclusion, and relevance for all participants; Utilize layered MHPSS interventions aligned with the IASC framework—combining promotive, preventive, and focused psychosocial support activities that can be delivered at the community level; Embed peer support mechanisms, enabling participants to continue learning and supporting one another beyond the training period; Include feedback loops and adaptive learning, ensuring that the training materials and methods evolve based on participant insights and contextual feedback. All proposed tools, facilitation processes, and delivery methods will be reviewed and approved by the ADRA Somalia project team prior to implementation. The consultant must ensure that all materials are ethically sound, culturally appropriate, and aligned with ADRA’s safeguarding principles and psychosocial support standards. Emphasis will be placed on approaches that are practical, scalable, and sustainable, those that generate meaningful outcomes within available resources while upholding inclusivity, quality, and measurable impact. The overall goal is to build lasting community capacity for psychosocial wellbeing, enabling children, facilitators, and parents/caregivers to support one another and foster resilience in their environments.

External Evaluation of Anera’s Greenhouse & Rooftop Gardens Portfolio (2021–2025)
Country: Lebanon Organization: American Near East Refugee Aid Closing date: 18 Dec 2025 1- Background From 2021 to 2025, Anera implemented integrated livelihoods programs in Lebanon, focusing on sustainable agriculture and renewable energy to empower communities, enhance food security, and strengthen household and community resilience. The agriculture portfolio includes two main interventions: Greenhouses and Rooftop Gardens (RTG). These interventions have contributed to measurable improvements in productivity, income, community engagement, and resilience. About Anera’s Greenhouse Model Anera’s greenhouse intervention supports rural farmers by improving production quality and quantity while optimizing water use. The structure is designed to enhance ventilation, light penetration, and temperature control. Farmers are equipped with efficient drip irrigation systems that reduce water consumption while ensuring optimal distribution. This is complemented by training in pest management, pruning, fertilization, and climate-smart practices to further improve yields and extend the growing season. Key Features ●Installation and rehabilitation of 180+ greenhouses for over 150 farmers. ●Climate-controlled production that improves yields and reduces losses. ●Efficient drip irrigation system minimizing water use while ensuring optimal distribution. ●Supports income generation through increased quantity and quality of produce. ●Proven, scalable model used across Anera’s agriculture programs ●Technical upgrades: Transition from traditional to single-span greenhouses, black mulch, improved ventilation, drip irrigation, disease-resistant hybrid seedlings. ●Participatory cost-sharing model (2024–2025): Farmers contributed 10–20% of installation costs, strengthening ownership and accountability. ●Significant productivity and income gains: Average annual income per farmer increased from ~$706 to ~$3,350. ●Continuous training on sustainable agricultural practices, crop diversification, pest management, and climate adaptation. About Anera’s Rooftop Garden (RTG) Model The RTG model is built on a highly efficient wicking bed system using modified food-grade barrels filled with soil, compost, and peat moss. A simple divider and bottom reservoir allow water to wick upward through capillary action, reducing water consumption dramatically—households irrigate only once every 3–5 days depending on the season. The system minimizes evaporation, prevents over-irrigation, and maintains consistent moisture levels. A lightweight thermoplastic-covered mini-greenhouse structure enables safe, year-round rooftop production. Key Features ●Implementation of 350+ RTGs across North, South, Bekaa, and Palestinian camps. ●In-kind support package: mini-greenhouse structures, seedlings, irrigation kits, fertilizers, and tools. ●Water-efficient wicking barrels requiring irrigation only every few days. ●Semi-hydroponic system reducing water use by 60–70%. ●Lightweight greenhouse design suitable for rooftops of various sizes. ●Low-maintenance model ideal for women and households in dense urban settings. ●Technical enhancements: piped irrigation for strawberries, mini-greenhouses, and high-value crops such as cherry tomatoes. ●Income and savings gains: Average annual household benefit ~$240 (combining savings and income from sales). ●Community impact: Each household shares produce with ~8–9 neighbors, extending impact to thousands of individuals. ●Capacity building: Ongoing technical coaching, training in gardening and market engagement. Anera seeks an independent evaluation to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, return on investment, and future strategic direction of each of these interventions before potential scaling or institutionalization. The evaluation will also assess technology adoption, market linkages, climate resilience, and data system quality. 2. Purpose of the Evaluation The evaluation aims to provide an independent assessment of the effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability of Anera’s Greenhouse and Rooftop Garden interventions. It will review each intervention separately, identify strengths and gaps, and analyze the reasons behind any challenges or underperformance. For each intervention, the evaluation will generate clear, actionable recommendations to improve program design, implementation, and long-term sustainability, with a focus on enabling small farmers/households to sustain income, maintain crop quality, and manage agricultural inputs independently after project exit. 3. Evaluation Objectives3.1 Greenhouse Intervention – Evaluation Objectives ●Assess improvements in farmers’ productivity, crop quality, and income. ●Evaluate the adoption and performance of technical upgrades (single-span greenhouses, drip irrigation, hybrid seedlings, etc.). ●Examine the relevance, clarity, and fairness of beneficiary selection processes. ●Analyze cost-effectiveness and value-for-money across greenhouse types and regions, including installation and operational costs, productivity and income gains, and farmer cost-sharing contributions. ○Compare outcomes for farmers with greenhouses versus those without to assess the added financial and operational benefits of the intervention. ●Assess the quality of MEAL data, data collection systems, and reporting accuracy. ●Identify the social, economic, and climate resilience impacts generated at household and community levels. ●Sustainability, Technical Efficiency & Model Optimization ●Evaluate the long-term sustainability of the greenhouse intervention, including the extent to which farmers: ■Continue adopting improved agricultural practices after project exit. ■Can afford agricultural inputs of similar quality without project support. ■Maintain productivity, crop quality, and income over time. ●Assess whether training equips farmers with knowledge and skills for independent long-term system management. ●Analyze the influence of geographic or environmental factors (water availability, climate exposure) on sustainability and whether area selection criteria need revision. ●Assess whether greenhouse models maximize productivity while minimizing water use and identify opportunities to improve water efficiency through design or operational adjustments. ●Identify opportunities to maximize production capacity, including technical components, crop selection, irrigation systems, and household practices. ●Examine whether the agricultural practices promoted by Anera align with recognized Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and identify necessary adjustments to strengthen compliance. ●Identify the operational and technical changes required to secure sustainable impact, especially in relation to market access, input affordability, and climate resilience. 3.2 Rooftop Gardens Intervention – Evaluation Objectives ●Assess improvements in household food security, dietary diversity, and income/savings. ●Evaluate productivity and correct use of rooftop gardening systems, including mini-greenhouses and irrigation. ●Examine the transparency and appropriateness of beneficiary selection processes. ●Analyze cost-effectiveness and the financial and non-financial value generated by RTGs, including household savings, small-scale income, dietary diversity, community sharing, and overall return on investment. Assess which RTG configurations deliver the best balance of economic and social impact. ●Assess household ownership, maintenance capacity, and long-term sustainability, including their ability to maintain inputs, systems, and crop cycles over time. ●Assess the quality of MEAL data, data collection systems, and reporting accuracy. ●Identify psychosocial benefits, community spillover, and women/youth empowerment outcomes. ●Sustainability, Technical Efficiency & Model Optimization ●Analyze the sustainability of future continuation or expansion of the rooftop gardens model, considering technical feasibility, financial viability, environmental conditions, and farmer capacity. ●Evaluate whether the rooftop gardens model functions as a viable business/production model, assessing whether it maximizes yield, optimizes water use, and aligns with good agricultural practices (GAP). ●Assess whether rooftop garden models maximize production while minimizing water use and identify opportunities for design or operational improvements. ●Identify system-level improvements that would increase impact, sustainability, and scalability, including adjustments to greenhouse design, technical components, crop selection, and training approaches. ○Evaluate the efficiency and suitability of rooftop systems (wicked beds, barrels, irrigation components), assessing yield, cost-efficiency, and feasibility for long-term household maintenance. ○Assess whether training equips households with the knowledge and skills to manage systems independently over time. ○Identify opportunities to maximize production capacity, including technical components, crop selection, irrigation systems, and household practices. ●Provide recommendations for alternative components or models to increase cost-efficiency, productivity, and scalability. 4.

Independent Consultant with SEAH and Safeguarding Expertise
Organization: BBC Media Action Closing date: 16 Dec 2025 TERMS OF REFERENCE Feasibility study for establishing a support mechanism for survivors of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment in the media sector in Sierra Leone BBC Media Action is the BBC’s international charity. We support the independent media essential to democracy and development; and support people facing insecurity, inequality and poverty with information they can trust – to protect health, bridge divides and challenge prejudice. With our partners, we reach millions through creative communication and trusted media, helping people have their say, understand their rights, responsibilities and each other, and take action to transform their own lives. BBC Media Action leads the PIMHIE (Public Interest Media and Healthy Information Environments) programme, which works to foster robust information ecosystems and strengthen independent media to produce high-quality, trusted journalism. Funded by UK International Development through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), this global initiative focuses on mentoring and training, research and strategic work through our in-country offices and our delivery partners. Together, we aim to combat disinformation, promote gender equality, encourage innovation, support financial viability and local ownership of media outlets, and advance regulatory reforms. In the context of PIMHIE, BBC Media Action will conduct a feasibility study in Sierra Leone toward the establishment of a support mechanism for journalists who have experienced sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH) in newsrooms. In alignment with the country’s National Action Plan (NAP) on media viability which seeks to address gender inequities in the sector, the study will be conducted to engage with stakeholders and present recommendations for piloting a survivor support mechanism by March 2026. For this, the study will identify local service providers with expertise in different aspects of managing such a support mechanism. The local services that have been identified so far are as follows: - A confidential reporting mechanism for journalists to report SEAH, and case management to oversee triage and referrals for survivors. - Psycho-social counselling services. - Careers advice for journalists who may be looking to change their employer. - Legal advice and support for survivors of SEAH who may want to consider their legal options for current / former employers who fail to protect their staff. This could potentially be expanded to consider class / group actions if appropriate. As part of the feasibility study, a safeguarding framework and a survivor protection protocol will be developed for use by partner organisations that will offer support services under the mechanism. In addition, the study will include case studies of journalists who have experienced SEAH and their efforts to seek redress, highlighting the barriers that survivors face in reporting cases and in seeking support. BBC Media Action plans to arrange focus groups discussions in partnership with local journalists’ groups to facilitate the development of these case studies. Findings from the feasibility study and learning from the pilot phase of the survivor support mechanism, along with any other relevant findings and information, will inform the design of a longer-term, holistic SEAH prevention programme for the media sector in Sierra Leone. While the support mechanism will remain at its centre, it is envisaged that the future programme will also include: - Awareness-raising and training for the wider media sector, in particular for media leaders and sector stakeholders. - Gender equality policy and sector-led advocacy. - Institutional strengthening through the development of safeguarding policies, reporting protocols, and relevant training. The feasibility study will be led by an independent consultant with SEAH and safeguarding expertise, and will be supported by BBC Media Action’s Sierra Leone and Global Media Development teams. The consultant will work in close coordination with the Gender Equality Working Group in Sierra Leone which is tasked with addressing gender inequities in the media industry. The consultant will also have access to country-specific findings from one of the largest global surveys on sexual harassment in media workplaces that BBC Media Action is currently supporting under PIMHIE. This study, led by WAN-IFRA Women in News in partnership with City, University of London, builds on previous research conducted in 2020 in 20 countries and aims to reassess sexual harassment in diverse media contexts globally, including in Sierra Leone. Whilst this work is expected to be published in early 2026, ongoing analysis will be made available to the consultant, with the understanding that the work in Sierra Leone will be shaped by this evidence. SUMMARY OF CONSULTANCY:Period of attachment: January – February 2026.Total envisaged effort: Approximately 20 to 30 days, depending on what is agreed as part of the selected consultant’s proposed approach.Reporting to: Project Manager from BBC Media Action’s global media development team.Location: Up to 15 days in Sierra Leone (including travel days) and up to 15 days of desk-based remote work. SCOPE OF WORK: With this feasibility study, BBC Media Action aims to develop a blueprint for setting up a safe and independent survivor support mechanism for journalists in Sierra Leone who have been affected by SEAH in the workplace. The consultant will lead on all aspects of research and writing for this study, coordinating with BBC Media Action’s Sierra Leone and Global Media Development teams. The feasibility study is expected to: • Provide an overview of global good practices in managing survivor-centered support networks for individuals who have faced SEAH in workplaces, with a specific focus on the media sector. • Propose a detailed framework to establish a safe, confidential and context-sensitive survivor support mechanism for journalists in Sierra Leone. • Identify suitable local service providers that have proven expertise in survivor services and are willing to extend their services to journalists who have experienced SEAH in newsrooms. BBC Media Action’s Sierra Leone team has identified some local partners who are uniquely placed to provide specific services. For example, Women in the Media Sierra Leone (WIMSAL) is the largest representative body for women journalists and is already supporting its members on a number of SEAH cases. • Develop a safeguarding framework that is aligned with CAPSEAH principles. This should also involve the development of a detailed survivor protection protocol that will guide the operation of the support mechanism. • Recommend any other policies that might be developed in the future to ensure adherence to global standards. • Create a dissemination plan for the study, focusing on outreach to donors that might have a strategic interest in funding the mechanism in Sierra Leone and potentially in other countries.

Senior Intervention Manager: Leveraging Investment
Country: Nepal Organization: International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development Closing date: 18 Jan 2026 About ICIMOD The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region stretches 3,500km across Asia, spanning eight countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. Encompassing high-altitude mountain ranges, mid-hills, and plains, the zone is vital for the food, water and energy security of up to two billion people and is a habitat for countless irreplaceable species. It is also acutely fragile – and frontline to the impacts of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), based in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an international organisation established in 1983, that is working to make this critical region greener, more inclusive and climate resilient. For more information, read our Strategy 2030 and explore our website. About our approach to climate and green finance Identifying new climate and development financeflows is an important priority for HKH countries, given the dearth of green investment and the enormous financing gap for climate adaptation, mitigation and nature. Without new and additional finance, HKH countries will not be able to meet their climate adaptation, biodiversity and mitigation goals. ‘Enabling climate resilient and green investment’ is one of the pillars of ICIMOD’s Strategy 2030. ICIMOD, as a regional institution, is drawing on its convening power and knowledge to help catalyse investment, including by: (i) identifying and developing solutions and collectively developing these into business cases, (ii) playing a role in assisting HKH countries to access global funds (iii) facilitating investment in the private sector, or through public-private partnerships, and (iv) convening investors and investment experts to explore innovative ways to finance solutions and focus the investment conversation on HKH mountain priorities. ICIMOD also plays a role in advocating for HKH priorities in global and regional policy and investment fora. Position overview The Senior Intervention Manager: Leveraging Investment will lead ICIMOD’s investment work. This role will require strong management and leadership skills and will contribute to the management of the broader action area- Global.
