INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS
I. BACKGROUND
UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build societies that can withstand crisis,and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations
This Call for Proposals (CFP) is specifically related to the Regional Youth Project
II. OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS/ DELIVERABLES
Building on the work undertaken to date through the research commissioned in early 2022 by the UNDP Regional Bureau for the Arab States youth team, which provides a preliminary baseline assessment about civic and policy engagement of youth in the MENA region, UNDP is looking to engage an NGO to conduct the second phase of the overall assignment which will cover the socialization of the research findings with relevant programmatic teams and colleagues in the UNDP Amman Regional Hub, country offices and headquarters, and the facilitation of a process of joint
sensemaking.
This shall be done in two steps. The engaged NGO will deliver a presentation and design a virtual workshop that enables interested colleagues to engage with and make sense of the data and share experiences and good practices with colleagues across the region.This will be followed by country cluster deep dives aimed at extracting actionable intelligence and discuss potential entry points for designing programmatic interventions.
This will culminate in a regional flagship publication highlighting trends and patterns on youth civic and political participation
Detailed objectives, related outputs and deliverables are provided in the Terms of Reference –
