DANWADAAG Project – with funding from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherland, is a consortium comprising of VNG International (Lead Agency), Free Press Unlimited, Media Ink, and CARE Nederland. The consortium will implement the project for five years (2020 – 2025), starting with 1st year containing an inception phase and the 4th year containing a consolidation and exit phase.

The project’s overall objective (Impact) is: **‘**improved social contracts through increased resilience to external shocks’ whilst the strategic objective *is ‘increased government legitimacy through efficient and effective disaster risk management (DRM) based on inclusive policies, strategies, and services.*The project is being implemented in Somaliland and Puntland, targeting Hargeisa, Burco, Garowe, and Qardho and targeting communities (children, youth, and adults, including vulnerable groups), civil societies, and knowledge institutes, media, andpublic authorities for effective disaster risk management.

• Outcome 4: Media have the capacity to contribute to inclusive and transparent DRM through disseminating relevant information and creating spaces for inclusive dialogue between public authorities, civil society, and communities

2**. Background**

CARE, through DANWADAAG Project, conducted an advocacy capacity assessment (ACAT) to assess civil society organizations on a range of key capacities for effective advocacy. The assessment’s general goal was to identify CSOs’ advocacy capacity gaps in five key areas: program, organizational, external links, enabling environment, and individual level. In addition, the assessment looked at how well the target civil society organization’s plans, policies, and strategies can assist the CSOs in doing effective advocacy on inclusive disaster management. Finally, we looked at how well the target organization has the requisite knowledge, skills, and competencies to perform advocacy. The assessment targeted 12 Civil Society organizations.

Though the assessment findings varied, the findings revealed that most of the targeted CSOs have insufficient capacity to conduct good research and analysis. Insufficient capacity to collect policy gaps and analyze a policy document, inadequate capacity to develop advocacy objectives related to their advocacy programs, low capacity to design a clear message, and insufficient capacity to develop a strategy with clear activities.

1. OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

CARE Somalia/Somaliland is seeking to procure the services of a consultant for Advocacy Strategy and Policy Engagement Training to guide the Advocacy Strategy Development process for target CSOs. The training’s main goal is to improve CSOs’ organizational advocacy strategies and capacities to effectively advocate for inclusive disaster management and bring about structural and long-term changes in communities, local governments, and central government institutions.

1. SCOPE OF WORK
   1. Assessment of CSOs’ Current Status in Advocacy and Policy Engagements

The Consultant will conduct pre-assessment of CSOs’ current status in terms of policy and advocacy engagements/campaigns (through questionnaires sent to 14 CSOs prior to the training). He/she will determine the progress made, opportunities to be harnessed, and gaps that are preventing CSOs from realizing their full potential in terms of Advocacy and Policy Engagements. The assessment will also look at how CSOs use technology and social media platforms to advance their advocacy and policy activities.

1. 1. Training of CSOs Staff on Advocacy and Policy Engagement/Campaigns

The Consultant will create and deliver capacity-building training on advocacy and policy engagement for select CSOs staff based on the gaps identified in the ACAT and pre-assessment. The training aims to provide CSO staff with relevant and up-to-date technical and technological skills in order to identify, position, and implement policy engagements/campaigns that are relevant to the organization’s vision, mission, and method of working.

1. 1. Provide online coaching sessions on Csos Advocacy Strategies Development

The Consultant will work with 14 CSOs to provide advice, improve, and assist in the development process of simple but effective advocacy strategies in accordance with how each CSO is positioned to contribute to the achievement of its mission and vision through advocacy and policy engagements. This could be accomplished through online coaching sessions that continue after the training has been finished.

1. EXPECTED DELIVERIES

• Deliver inception report with the tools, methodology, approaches, and the workplan
• A thorough assessment of CSOs’ Advocacy & Policy Engagement priorities, needs, and gaps in implementing evidence-based Advocacy/Policy Engagements.
