Call for Proposals for Responsible Parties - Grenada
Date:
The European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN) have embarked on a new, global, multi-year initiative focused on eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls (VAWG) - The Spotlight Initiative. The Initiative is so named as it brings focused attention to this issue, moving it into the spotlight and placing it at the centre of efforts to achieve gender equality and women's empowerment, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The Spotlight Initiative in Grenada will contribute to the achievement of gender equality, peace, social inclusion and protection of human rights, which are catalytic for sustainable development (particularly SDGs 5 and 16) and inclusive growth, in accordance with Agenda 2030, as well as the priority areas of the UN Multi-Country Sustainable Development Framework. The Initiative will contribute to the full implementation of Grenada’s Gender Equality Policy and Action Plan (GEPAP), and Government’s Public Service Delivery Agreement (2019) to strengthen interventions to combat Family Violence, including Intimate Partner Violence and Child Sexual Abuse linked to Enhancing Social Capital and Citizen Wellbeing pillar of Government’s Medium-Term Agenda for 2019-2021. In addition, the outcomes of this initiative will be integrated into the National Sustainable Development Plan 2035, which is being developed, to take effect from 2020 to 2035.
The UN Women Multi-Country Office (MCO) - Caribbean, seeks to partner with a Grenadian Responsible Party (Non-Governmental Organizations [NGO]) to; implement advocacy campaigns to promote positive social norms and practices on gender equality, healthy relationships, masculinities, and non-violent parenting, and increase positive community responses to incidents of family and sexual violence, and using creative and cultural approaches to prevent Family Violence, to employ the use of short films and/or new forms of media which are engaging, innovative, and relevant to the context/theme.
