Oxfam in Lebanon, through the Women’s Rights Fund (WRF), seeks to recruit a qualified consultant to provide technical support a Women's Rights Organizations (WROs) under the Women's Rights Fund (WRF) in Lebanon. The consultancy aims to strengthen the organizations' institutional capacities through the development finalization of sub-granting and risk assessment policies and procedures and deliver capacity strengthening sessions to support effective implementation of the developed policies.

The Women's Rights Fund (WRF) supports Women's Rights Organizations in strengthening their institutional resilience, sustainability, and effectiveness in advancing gender justice and women's rights, by providing flexible grants and capacity strengthening programs.

As part of the project's organizational development component, participating partners underwent a Gender Just structures and processes assessment which identified areas for further institutional strengthening.

Following the assessment, a partner organization identified the need to have a consultant to support them in creating a sub-granting and a risk assessment policy.

A sub-granting policy is a set of rules and procedures that explains how an organization distributes part of its grant funding to other organizations or individuals through subgrants (also called subawards).

The risk assessment strategy should  thoroughly explain how the organization identifies and assesses potential risks related to its operations and projects, including how risks are rated based on their likelihood and impact. It should also describe the measures taken to mitigate or manage those risks, identify who is responsible for monitoring them, and state how often the risks are reviewed and updated.

Oxfam seeks to engage a consultant to develop the policies together with any required procedures, templates, tools, and guidance documents necessary to operationalize and implement them. The consultant will also provide tailored technical support to this organization and train their staff for the effective implementation of these newly developed policies.
