Appointment of a Consultant for the Private Sector Engagement in GBV Prevention

Brief background: The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) provides services in the field of international development cooperation and international education work. We are working with partners in national governments, actors from the private sector, civil society and research institutions. Our goal is to deliver effective solutions that offer people better prospects and sustainably improve their living conditions.

GIZ has been supporting international cooperation between Germany and the Kingdom of Lesotho since 1976. The German and selected Southern African Regional Governments including Lesotho have agreed on a joint initiative: The Partnerships for Prevention of Gender-based Violence in Southern Africa (PfP-II). This is the follow-on module of the previous project (PfP-I), implemented in four countries (South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia and Zimbabwe) from December 2017 until November 2021. In the new phase, the programme will build on the experiences and successes of the first programme phase. While PfP-I was focused on improving the coordination amongst relevant stakeholders to establish multi-sectoral networks for primary GBV prevention, the new phase will focus on implementation of innovative and context-specific flagships for primary GBV prevention to alter social norms and practices that instigate GBV. The overall objective of the programme is to strengthen the joint implementation of evidence informed GBV prevention flagships by regional, national and sub-national stakeholders across sectors in Southern Africa.

Call for proposals: Against this background, the programme is looking to engage a consultant to support realization of engaging with the private sector for GBV prevention in the workplace. This hinges on the notion that various forms of violence against women such as sexual harassment, stalking and domestic violence can have serious impact on work performance, absenteeism, and the general well-being of staff, therefore, in return affecting company output/productivity. 

GIZ invites eligible and professional companies with local presence in Lesotho to participate in this tender.
