Request for Proposal (RFP)
Dishari Project, Fixed Amount Award

Pathfinder International has been implementing the Dishari project: Advancing the Leadership of Women and Girls towards Better Health and Climate Change Resilience in Bangladesh. The disproportionate impact of climate change, conflict and emergencies alongside COVID-19 has exacerbated the already fragile state of women’s health in low-resource settings in Bangladesh. Dishari is a 4-year project across the Ganges flood plains of Bangladesh, and the drought afflicted regions of Pakistan. The project centers women as change agents, strengthening their knowledge and access to equitable quality health services alongside building community resilience to future shocks. Women and girls are subjected to various forms of SGBV within and outside the family. In such circumstances, change of environment by external phenomena –such as climate change – pushes them into a more vulnerable position. The existing gender inequalities heighten much more during contingencies or emergencies such as disasters and pandemics, calamities and conflicts especially when climate change results in gender-differentiated impacts.

Pathfinder International is looking for a consultant who is an expert in gender issues in relation to climate change and climate change induced disasters to review the existing gender manuals and prepare a module for the community groups, local leaders, Disaster Management Committees, School Disaster Management Committees and FP service providers at the community level to increase their awareness level so that they can identify relevant cases and address them accordingly. The goal of the documentation is to share with the GOB counterparts for further scale-up through incorporating it within the national framework.
