1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Background
\nThe Partnerships for Municipal Innovation \u2013 Women in Local Leadership (PMI-WILL) is a $27,610,160 project with a financial contribution of $26 million from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and $1,610,160 of in-kind contributions from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). Implemented by FCM in collaboration with the Local Government Association of Zambia (LGAZ), PMI-WILL is designed to bring about enhanced enjoyment of rights for women and girls in Benin, Cambodia, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Zambia. To bring about this ultimate outcome, the project will seek to achieve the following intermediate and immediate outcomes:
\nIntermediate outcome 1000: increased participation of women, particularly those from marginalised groups, as leaders and decision-makers in local governance.
\na)\u00a0Increased capacity of women from marginalised groups to run for local elected office.
\nb)\u00a0Increased capacity of women in local government administration to perform their duties effectively.
\nc)\u00a0Increased capacity of the network of women elected officials to support women leadership and participation in decision-making in local governance.
\nIntermediate outcome 2000: increased capacity of local authorities to deliver inclusive, gender responsive municipal services.
\na)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Increased capacity of local authorities to deliver inclusive, gender-responsive municipal services.
\nb)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Increased capacity of the Local Government Association of Zambia (LGAZ) to create an enabling environment for inclusive, gender-responsive local governance and municipal service delivery.
\nEvidence from recent studies has shown that sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment as well as discriminatory workplace practices significantly prevent local government female staff from performing their duties effectively. This is exacerbated by the absence of institutionalized mechanisms for addressing gender-based violence and inequalities at the workplace.
\nTo address this challenge and create a conducive and more inclusive workplace environment for local government staff, LGAZ under the auspices of the PMI-WILL project is supporting ten (10) local authorities in developing policies and internal mechanisms aimed at addressing sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment.
\nFor this purpose, the Association seeks to engage a competent and experienced individual (consultant) to provide professional support to the following Ten local authorities that are developing their sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment prevention policies: Chifunabuli, Kafue, Kasama, Luangwa, Lunte, Lusangazi, Mansa, Nakonde, Pemba and Sinda.
