NATIONAL CONSULTANT TO MANAGE THE FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IN THE MINISTRY OF GENDER, LABOUR AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
OHCHR has a project to establish a multi-sectoral framework for monitoring, reporting and evaluation of compliance with national regional and international commitments on gender equality. The organization is in need of a consultant to manage the framework developemnt process in the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development. Objectives: Following on from the highly productive 2010 meetings between the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development of Uganda and the United Nations Committee for the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Ministry seeks to develop a framework for monitoring, reporting and evaluating compliance with international commitments on gender and human rights. This framework will greatly enhance the structural capacity to report, monitor and evaluate achievements in relation to international human rights obligations to which Uganda has committed such as CEDAW, the Maputo Protocol, UNSCR 1325, UNSCR 1820 and the Goma Declaration. Under the UN Joint Programme on Gender Equality, developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Uganda and the MGLSD have developed a strategy for engaging in sustainable co-operation over the next four years (2011 – 2014). In 2011, the MGLSD has partnered with OHCHR in actions to advance gender equality, and seeks to engage a consultant to facilitate the process. Methodology: The Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development initially seeks to engage in a series of technical meetings to develop a baseline measure of Uganda’s current compliance with international obligations on gender and human rights. The MGLSD will host a three day meeting in Kampala in September 2011 for 40 delegates, primarily technical staff of government agencies, UN agencies, development partners and civil society organizations. The aim of this workshop is to work with the CEDAW Plan for Action and the National Action Plan for UNSCR 1325, 1820 and the Goma Declaration to develop an agreed framework of monitoring and evaluation, attached to specific budget lines, committed to by all responsible agencies. Three round-table discussions will follow the workshop to allow for further clarification and finalisation of the results framework and budget. The launch of the framework is planned for November 2011, to coincide with the first anniversary of the CEDAW delegation meeting.
