This includes identifying and exploring new tools, technologies, and trends that can improve digital acquisition and outreach. It also means staying ahead of privacy standards and compliance regulations (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, deliverability best practices).
Leverage advanced analytics tools and data visualization platforms to track, analyze, and interpret metrics — including A/B testing subject lines, send times, and content variations, analyzing open rates and click-through patterns, segmenting audience behavior, and conducting multivariate testing — transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive strategic decision-making, predict audience behavior, and systematically optimize campaign performance across all digital touchpoints

Introduction
These terms of reference were prepared by medica mondiale e.V. upon consultation with respective partner organizations, to provide key information to the consultant team, partner organisations and stakeholders involved in the Participatory Action Research (PAR) and clarify expectations.
Background
About medica mondiale e.V.
medica mondiale (mm) 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 (Burundi, Uganda, DRC and Rwanda) 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. takes 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 and women affected by (S)GBV. On the institutional level, medica mondiale e.V. capacitates relevant public institutions from the health and legal sector to adopt a stress- and trauma-sensitive approach 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 (S)GBV 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 (STA).
Our foremost aim is to bring an end to sexualised wartime violence and other forms of gender-based violence. At the local, national and international levels we join with other female activists to campaign for the rights, protection and participation of women in establishing gender justice and removing power gaps.
