Save the Children seeks to commission a gender analysis that will address targeted knowledge gaps in current literature and programme approaches in order to strengthen existing programming for children affected by armed conflict noting that much of the understanding and assessment of the effects of armed conflict on children has been historically gender-blind.
The gender analysis will seek to guide implementation, reporting and evaluation activities of the Programme to enable systematic integration of gender perspectives while ensuring the inclusion of prevention and mitigation mechanisms to potential negative effects such as re-traumatisation of victims of armed conflict. It is thus anticipated that analysis will ensure that programme activities will be informed by gender-sensitive objectives, results and indicators through the use of sex and age disaggregated data to facilitate monitoring and post-evaluation. This serves to ensure that the programme is in a position to influence outcomes aimed at achieving inclusion and that beneficiaries are not placed at risk by the proposed programme activities.
It will also be necessary to analyse whether the Programme is designed in such a way that it prevents the exclusion of relevant gender and age categories particularly with regard to the need for ensuring the Programme proactively includes girls’ voices and that girls and boys engaged by the Programme are able to influence decisions and processes of relevant bodies as envisioned in the Programme objectives. To this end, the analysis should identify existing mechanisms or Programmes that can be strengthened and propose innovative approaches, which if implemented, should result in more effective protection of boys and girls as well as interventions that address gender-specific protection risks.
The analysis should be especially cognisant of gender and its intersectionality with age, sex, ethnicity, religion, disability and the likely differences in experiences of boys and girls, vulnerabilities specific to boys and girls as perpetuated by cultural gender norms, and the risks and needs of younger girls, adolescents and youth. At a minimum, the analysis should meet the following criteria:
