Consultant for Research on Survivor-Led Accountability Initiatives for Gender Based Violence (GBV)

The Irish Consortium on Gender Based Violence is seeking Expressions of Interest to conduct desk-based research to find evidence of established and emerging good practice in Gender Based Violence (GBV) survivor-led accountability initiatives and practices across the prevention, mitigation and response trajectory. The purpose of the research is to inform policy and practice with evidence of established and emerging good practice in GBV survivor-led accountability initiatives across the prevention, mitigation and response trajectory.

Scope: We wish to determine the evidence or emerging evidence of initiatives that deeply embedded GBV survivors as they sought accountability under each of the three dimensions, Prevention, Mitigation and Response across humanitarian, development and peace support work. This is not limited to the countries in which ICGBV members operate but should be determined by finding the best/emerging practice and should include a mix of initiatives from micro, meso and maco levels – from grassroots to district, to state and regional initiatives.
