Consultancy Terms of Reference: Developing the “Playbook for Transformative Action to End Child Marriage”
Girls Not Brides is a global partnership of over 1400 members in nearly 100 countries across regions committed to ending child marriage and ensuring girls can fulfil their potential. Our vision is a world without child marriage where girls and women enjoy equal status with boys and men and can achieve their full potential in all aspects of their lives. Our vision challenges deeply embedded social norms that harm the lives of girls, women and their communities. The Girls Not Brides secretariat is committed to accelerating the change needed to end child marriage.
Background and Purpose
The "Playbook for Transformative Action to End Child Marriage” will be developed as an influencing tool to mobilise a diverse range of actors around a shared articulation of what is needed to end child, early and forced marriage and unions (CEFMU), acknowledging context-specific realities. This is based on the recognition of a gap in coordinated frameworks for collective action to end child marriage.
This tool will consist of two key products: a 4-6 pager comprising specific examples and case studies, and a shorter 2-sided visual product. These will be concise and action-oriented, neutrally branded and jointly owned by multiple signatories, highlighting our collective voice and shared commitment to end child marriage.
The ultimate target audiences of this Playbook are actors that operate to address and end CEFMU at different levels: donors (governments and philanthropy); civil society actors; implementers such as INGOs and UN agencies; and grassroot organisations. The main goal is to create a tool that can be used to undertake shared advocacy.
It will be based on existing research and practice-based learning and evidence on what works to end child marriage in different contexts. The Girls Not Brides team will share relevant documents with the consultant/s. It will further be informed by a set of targeted key informant interviews (8-15) with national actors working to address and end child marriage across regions. Where interpretation is required to conduct interviews, Girls Not Brides will arrange and cover this cost.
