DOWNLOAD THE FULL CONSULTANCY TERMS OF REFERENCE

The secretariat, Board, members as well as Ambassadors will play an active role throughout the process. Therefore, we expect that the consultant’s role will mainly consist of developing and facilitating a participative process for input for the upcoming strategic plan and drafting the document. Furthermore, ideally the consultant would also support the development & drafting of the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (M&E) in early 2023 after the adoption of the Strategic Plan.

The consultant will propose a process and agree to the various steps with End FGM EU. These can include:

  • Written questionnaires
  • Online interviews with key people
  • Focus group interviews
  • Facilitating a 1-day workshop in Brussels; in early/mid-June (mandatory)
  • Drafting the strategic plan
  • Integrating the feedback given to the strategic plan
  • Providing strategic advice on challenging issues.

In consideration of the above, End FGM EU is seeking to receive proposals from consultants with strong expertise in strategic planning – particularly for European non-profit networks – on how to frame this process. The proposal should take into account the indications provided with regard to the consultant’s role, but should also:

  • outline elements of the process preceding and following the 1-day workshop
  • take into account the current strategic plan
  • enable the active involvement of the membership
