GBV / VAWG Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI) Masculinities
Background of the project 
The Women's Protection and Empowerment (WPE) program seeks to empower women and girls in conflict-affected areas to lead safer, more resilient lives by expanding their access to protection services, strengthening their participation in decision-making, building the capacity of local women's rights organizations, and ensuring that gender equality and the prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG) are central to humanitarian planning and response. Under the program's Safety Outcome 4, which holds that the social norms of community members support the rights of diverse women and girls and prevent and condemn VAWG, the program works to reduce VAWG and promote positive behavior change through evidence-based approaches. 

In Ethiopia, this work sits within the POWER program (2025–2027), supported by Irish Aid. POWER pursues holistic GBV prevention and response across Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan, delivered through strengthened women-led organizations. Its design reflects a set of deliberate commitments: at least 25 percent of funding flowing directly to partners, adherence to the PEERS principles for equitable partnership, women-led safety audits, a dedicated emergency response pillar, and a partnership learning pillar. This consultancy contributes directly to Sub-outcome 2 of the Irish Aid project. 
The EMAP+ (Engaging Men through Accountable Practice Plus) methodology focuses on transforming harmful masculinities and promoting accountability among men and boys in order to prevent VAWG. To ensure that the EMAP+ Resource Package is relevant and effective in the Ethiopian context, the program will engage a consultant to lead the adaptation, review and finalization of the EMAP+ materials. 

Purpose of the consultancy 
To support the WPE program and the global VPRU in adapting, reviewing and finalizing the EMAP+ Resource Package for the Ethiopian context under the POWER program, and to capture the learning from that adaptation in a form that strengthens quality across POWER countries and supports the translation of program evidence into humanitarian policy and practice. The consultant will refine the overall resource package, validate its relevance through remote engagement with the IRC Ethiopia team and partners, and document the adaptation decisions taken so that the process is traceable and reusable. This consultancy contributes directly to the achievement of Sub-outcome 2 of the Irish Aid project.
