Summary of Position:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Consultant will conduct an evaluation study on women\u2019s political, decision-making levels including conflict resolution and mediation.<\/p>\n

The study is to highlight effective best practices, gaps and recommendation on way forward. Despite many global and regional commitments and initiatives, the number of women\u2019s participation in all areas is still lacking. Women still face discrimination dues to the patriarchal nature in this part of the world. It is therefore imperative 5 years since the last study was conducted in Guinea Bissau on women\u2019s political participation, several mechanisms and tools including capacity building lobbying at state level, through declarations such as the Canchungo declaration to ameliorate women\u2019s participation. A stocktaking is undertaken to measure progress as well as identify gaps and key impediments into the slow process of women\u2019s participation. Best practices will also be recorded with a possibility for replication as well as inform policy. The study in addition will be used for lobbying as advocacy for the passing of the quota law for women, lobbying political parties including voluntary quotas for women within political parties, government institutions and others, as well as inform policy.<\/p>\n
