EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

for Consultants/Firms to engage in the Spotlight Initiative

 

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) invites Expressions of Interest from potential consultants/firms registered in the Caribbean and actively working in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago which are interested in participating in the Spotlight Initiative in Trinidad and Tobago.
The Spotlight Initiative, a multi-year programme commencing January 2020, aims at addressing all forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG), and harmful practices. In the Caribbean, the focus is on family violence. It will follow a transformative and evidence-based approach, addressing unequal power relations between men and women and focusing on gender equality and women's empowerment, as well as ending impunity for VAWG. In line with the principles of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Initiative will follow a human rights-based approach and take into consideration the specific needs of women and girls who experience multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and uphold the principle of 'leaving no one behind.'
