Overview

To address these challenges, UNDP seeks to engage two qualified and reputable Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), or National Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), or Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) to implement targeted awareness-raising initiatives in the six counties of Central Equatoria State. These initiatives include community outreaches, school awareness programs, and radio programs such as talk shows, Public Service Announcements (PSAs) in collaboration with UNDP and strategic partners to improve knowledge, promote access to justice, and support vulnerable populations.

1. Objectives

The primary objective of this Call for Proposal is to identify two CSOs/NNGOs/CBOs with operational presence and proven capacity in Central Equatoria State to lead public awareness and information dissemination efforts in Central Equatoria State. These efforts will enhance access to justice and promote rights awareness among vulnerable populations in South Sudan.

The specific objectives of this Call for Proposal are as follows:

• Increase public awareness of GBV and Juvenile Court mandates, procedures, and available legal remedies. 

• Build public confidence in the GBV and Juvenile Courts as credible, accessible, and survivor-centered institutions addressing gender-based violence and juvenile justice issues.
• Promote understanding of the rights of persons with disabilities, including legal protections and access to services, particularly woman and children.
• Strengthen community engagement in supporting survivors of GBV, including women, children, and persons with disabilities. 
• Improve linkages between communities and justice/service providers to strengthen referral and reporting and other redress mechanisms.

3. Deliverables and Expected Results 

Each selected CSO/NNGO/CBO is expected to deliver the following output under the grant award:

Deliverables:

• Develop and disseminate culturally appropriate and inclusive awareness materials (e.g., banners, brochures, leaflets etc) by each CSO.

• Engage with local leaders, justice actors, and service providers.
