The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.
Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
Background
This is an anticipated project to be implemented by GIZ in cooperation with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Prime Minister’s Office for Regional Administration and Local Government (PMO-RALG) as key partners. Implementation will focus on Tanga Region. Subject to award, the contractor will implement all activities of outputs 2 and 3 of the project as indicated below
- Young people are empowered in dealing with sexual and reproductive health issues
- The environment for empowered choices is improved
These activities aim to support young people, particularly young women, to make informed and confident decisions about their health and future. In many communities, access to reliable information on health and relationships remains limited, and social norms may discourage open discussion or seeking professional support. As a result, young women may lack the knowledge and confidence needed to access appropriate services and claim their rights.
The contractor will be responsible for providing the following work packages and for achieving the corresponding milestones. The intervention is structured around two outputs with a total of four interlinked work packages that jointly contribute to strengthening the reproductive empowerment of young people, particularly young women, through improved access to information, services, and enabling environments.
