Expert on Feminist Principles in the planning, monitoring, accountability and learning (PMEAL) of projects and programs

Call for Expressions of Interest for an Expert on Feminist Principles in the planning, monitoring, accountability and learning (PMEAL) of projects and programs 

1. Introduction
About medica mondiale e.V.
medica mondiale is a feminist women’s rights organisation. For over 30 years, we have been campaigning against conflict-related sexualised violence and against power relations that oppress women. Together with local partner organisations in Northern Iraq/Kurdistan, Afghanistan, West Africa, the African Great Lakes Region as well as in South-eastern Europe, we support survivors of sexualised violence, oppose discriminatory power relations, and empower women’s rights activists.
Through programmes and in partnership with local women’s rights organisations, medica mondiale e.V. follows a multi-level approach to address the various factors contributing to violence against women and girls: On the individual level, medica mondiale e.V. provides access to holistic services (psychosocial, health, legal, economic) for survivors of (sexualised) gender-based violence (SGBV). On the level of women’s and girls’ social environment, medica mondiale e.V. supports communities to recognise and protect women’s and girls’ rights and to support survivors of SGBV. On the institutional level, medica mondiale e.V. collaborates with diverse institutions along the referral pathway, whereby a particular focus lies on health institutions, to contextualize and adopt the stress- and trauma-sensitive approach (STA) towards survivors and to establish cross-institutional referral and support systems. On the political level, medica mondiale e.V. advocates for laws, policies and resolutions that address SGBV and promote women’s political participation. On the societal level, medica mondiale e.V. campaigns against sexism and gender stereotypes, raises awareness on (S)GBV and the long-term impacts of trauma within societies. Stress- and trauma-sensitivity are fundamental principles of our work, which is spelled out in media mondiale’s specifically developed stress- and trauma-sensitive approach (STA1). Our international programmes department is divided into four regional teams, which include experts from different medica mondiale departments (finance, international programmes (IP), trauma work, evaluation and quality (E&Q)). The four regional teams are 1) Afghanistan and Kurdish Autonomous Region of Iraq, 2) West Africa, 3) African Great Lakes Region, 4) Southeastern Europe.
Our primary aim is to transform patriarchal norms and structures and bring an end to sexualised wartime violence and other forms of sexualised gender-based violence. At the local, national and international levels we join forces with other feminist activists, women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and feminist women rights organizations to campaign for the rights, protection and participation of women in establishing gender justice and removing power gaps.
Further information on medica mondiale e.V. can be found on our website.

2. Purpose and Objectives of the consultancy 
As part of our commitment to feminist principles, we aim to apply a feminist lens on all aspects of our work, including Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (PMEAL) in the overall project management cycle (PCM).
We are seeking an experienced feminist consultant (team) to support us in developing and integrating a feminist framework to our Project Cycle Management (PCM) and PMEAL work. This approach must be rooted in the feminist core principles of our work, namely intersectionality, power-sensitivity and co-creativity, and pursue a system-oriented approach. The aim is to develop a practicable, realistic and efficient feminist framework, to create awareness,  initiate processes of un- and () re-learning and ultimately strengthen capacities within relevant entities in mm. Ultimately the outcome should support us in our goal to foster sustainable feminist partnerships with likeminded feminist organisations, actors and actresses.
The assignment is subdivided into three inter-connected components:
Component 1: Conduct an assessment of current and previous PCM and PMEAL approaches, methodologies and tools used by medica mondiale e.V.  regional teams.

1b. Comprehensive internal review, capacity and needs assessment: Conduct an analysis of the current situation and needs within the IP department, the evaluation and quality department and our regional teams by using participatory methods.
1c. This should be complimented with insights from partner organizations (POs), generated through innovative feminist participatory methods.
Component 2: Collaborate with relevant actresses and actors to co-create a feminist framework that integrates key principles, approaches, and methodologies. This framework should be designed to guide the organization’s work in alignment with feminist values and practices, ensuring inclusivity, power-sensitivity, and intersectionality (among others, see component 1a).
2a. Facilitate workshops and consultations with medica mondiale staff and selected partner organizations with online participatory methods to gather insights and co-create a feminist framework for the PMEAL processes in the PCM. With the POs, participatory methods should be adapted to an online setting (methods such as Appreciative Inquiry or similar could be used, in case appropriate).
2b. Development of options based on findings and application of component 1a-c.
2c. Perform an internal feedback loop with IP and relevant colleagues to co- creatively test proposed methods. 2dc. Develop a detailed concept and toolkit for a feminist PCM approach, including co-creative methods for intersectional and power-sensitive PMEAL.
Component 3: Provide recommendations on how to integrate this framework into existing systems and processes at medica mondiale and with the POs. (incl. timeline, recommendations for the change management process within the organisation, monitoring and review loops), as well as accompany the implementation of this work for its first implementation phase.

3. Approach and methodology  
In keeping with medica mondiale’s feminist mission, the consultancy will be shaped by our guiding feminist principles, this will amongst other aspects manifest in the following:
A sound awareness and acknowledgement of power dynamics that are inherent to knowledge itself and its creation, and therefore an openness and embracing of   different forms and types of knowledge as well as of diverse ways and processes to acquire and transfer knowledge.
A crucial flexibility that is indispensable when applying an intersectional, power-sensitive and co-creative lens, as well as the STA, throughout the process.
Methodology:

Individual Giving Officer

Our Mission
To leverage and build the organizing power of the disability community to ensure the full inclusion of people with disabilities in Metro Detroit.

Our North Star
Full Inclusion: A metro Detroit, and eventually a state and nation, where disability is celebrated, and people with disabilities have equal access, opportunities, and power in all aspects of society, including strong representation in social justice movements.

Our Values & Guiding Principles

  • Disability is a normal/positive part of human diversity. Our disabilities are essential parts of who we are, places of power and self-love, giving us great assets to share with the world around us.
  • Nothing About Us, Without Us: We are people with disabilities building power and inclusive social justice movements. We work to dismantle the very real structural and cultural challenges facing us.
  • We organize and serve people with diverse disabilities. We are committed to no hierarchy of disability in our work, engaging with people across disabilities, including chronic illness.
  • Disabled people have other important identities, which also affect our lived experiences and access to opportunities. Our power-building efforts will always be with an intersectional lens.
  • True Inclusion is Revolutionary. When we evolve our institutions to include disabled people fully, we inevitably build more equitable, accountable, safe, and compassionate communities that are better for everyone.

Strategy & Priorities

DDP focuses on three key strategic priorities:

  1. Grassroots Power Building: Building meaningful and intersectional organizing, creating a strong, united, and influential disability community capable of driving systemic change.
