BACKGROUND
The Equality Fund is transforming the way that resources—and power—flow into the hands of women, girls, and gender expansive people worldwide. Designed by feminists for feminists, it is a model for sustainably resourcing feminist movements everywhere, through global grantmaking, gender-lens investing, policy advocacy, and feminist philanthropy. Launched in 2019, the Equality Fund has committed $100 million to organizations working in 100 countries globally.

The OPPORTUNITY
The Equality Fund is undertaking an evaluation of its work with Women’s and Feminist Funds (WFF). Whilst the scope of the evaluation is still to be finalised, the purpose of the evaluation is to consider the value and impact of Women’s and Feminist Funds. Primarily,
What has resulted from 4 years of funding in terms of ‘real world’ outcomes?
We would also like to consider:
What has been the added value of WFFs? How are they more than intermediaries?

Final decisions around methods have not yet been made, as these will be dependent on the final scope and questions, but they will be largely qualitative. The Equality Fund is deeply committed to centering feminist and participatory approaches in this evaluation.There are no baselines as the work of the WFFs and their grantees are self directed. Data on the WFFs has been collected in salesforce and there are indicators that are reported to funders.
We require a skilled feminist evaluator or small evaluation team to lead the evaluation and work as part of a team to deliver the evaluation. The Equality Fund has two staff working part-time on this, including a MEL advisor. Additionally, an internal reference group has also been established to provide advice and support for the length of evaluation. The evaluator(s) will work closely with these EF resources to deliver the evaluation.
The evaluation is a complex but exciting opportunity to contribute to building evidence on the impact of funding Women’s and Feminist Funds. It is also an opportunity to provide recommendations to the Equality Fund on how we might improve our MEL systems for capturing impact over the coming years.
A formative evaluation of the Equality Fund was led by Global Affairs Canada and would make useful background reading.

SELECTION CRITERIA

Track record of leadership of successful evaluations that have focused on women’s rights and gender justice.

Proven track record of using feminist and participatory approaches to evaluations.

Strong understanding of, and contacts within, the feminist funding ecosystem, particularly with Women’s and Feminist Funds.

Strong evaluative skills, experience in evaluation design and in using evaluative methods, particularly qualitative.

Strong understanding of women’s and LGBTQI movements and experience working with grassroots/diverse organizations.

Experience facilitating virtual interviews and participatory meetings with activists and civil society groups.

Proven written and oral communication skills in English. Bilingual Consultants (French, Spanish, Arabic) are encouraged to apply.

Commitment to intersectional feminist approaches and commitment to gender, racial, economic, and global justice.

Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)

Background
Since 2023, the African Union Commission (AUC) and AfricaNenda Foundation have been working in partnership to advance financial inclusion across Africa by championing universal access to digital financial services (DFS). Together, they are implementing the Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa (2020–2030) and driving a continent-wide advocacy program to harmonize DFS policies and regulations — with a strong focus on inclusive instant payment systems (IIPS) that facilitate affordable, secure, and interoperable cross-border digital retail payments.

Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the AfricaNenda Foundation seeks to engage an experienced Advocacy Consultant to provide strategic and technical support to the joint advocacy program. The consultant will play a central role in advancing the harmonization of DFS policy and regulatory frameworks across national, regional, and continental levels, with an emphasis on enabling inclusive, gender-responsive, and interoperable instant payment systems. The role calls for a dynamic firm with proven experience in interventions involving the African Union Commission, expertise in African policy advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and digital financial services, capable of ensuring that advocacy efforts are targeted, impactful, and aligned with the evolving policy landscape.

Project Expertise and Technical Competencies Required
▪ Minimum of 7–10 years’ experience in high-level policy advocacy within the African policy/regulatory landscape, preferably in financial services, payments, or digital economy sectors. Deep understanding of DFS & IIPS
▪ Solid technical knowledge of digital financial services, instant payment systems, interoperability, cross-border payments, and related policy/regulatory frameworks.
▪ Familiarity with gender-responsive and inclusion-focused approaches in digital finance.
▪ Demonstrated experience in convening and influencing diverse stakeholder groups, including continental institutions (e.g., AUC, AfCFTA Secretariat, RECs), policymakers, regulators, private sector actors, and civil society.
▪ Strong political economy and protocol sensitivity in pan-African contexts. Capacity-Building and knowledge management skills
▪ Proven ability to design and deliver high-impact capacity-building programmes, workshops, and technical assistance for policy and regulatory audiences.
▪ Strong skills in developing advocacy content, tailoring messages, and preparing compelling materials for varied audiences.
▪ Ability to leverage both traditional media and digital platforms for advocacy outreach. Research and evidence-building capacity
▪ Ability to conduct rapid research, policy analysis, and synthesis of complex technical issues into actionable recommendations.
▪ A multidisciplinary team with relevant sector, advocacy, and communications experience, with designated leads for technical content, stakeholder engagement, and capacity-building.
▪ Demonstrated presence or partnerships in multiple African regions to facilitate on-the-ground engagement and pan-African reach.

Purpose of consultancy:

The vision of UNFPA is to cultivate an organizational culture of care that nurtures a safe, trusted, and protective environment, in which UNFPA personnel and the people and communities we serve can work and live free from violence, abuse, exploitation and harm, their rights and dignity are upheld, and those who perpetrate such violence are held accountable.

2. To ensure the continuous improvement of learning experiences is achieved through feedback loops and monitoring of learning actions, which provide crucial input. This process also ensures organizational learning by evaluating the impact on learners' capacities and abilities to prevent and protect against PSEAH.

3. To strengthen institutional capacity by ensuring that the final suite of products supports practical application of PSEAH principles, enhances knowledge retention, and promotes a culture of prevention and accountability.

Under the direct supervision of the Global PSEAH Coordinator, and working closely with the PSEAH Unit and external vendors, the Consultant will be responsible for providing strategic refinement, technical guidance, and quality assurance for UNFPA’s PSEAH learning initiative.

Movement building

BACKGROUND

The Pacific Feminist Fund (PFF) is a new non-government organisation that aims to support and amplify the work of Pacific feminists and the feminist movement across the Pacific region. This responds to research which found that less than 1% of donor’s funding is reaching women organisations in the Pacific through direct funding[1]. PFF provides grants and support for women’s groups and feminist movements to amplify their work; builds and shares knowledge of Pacific feminist ways of working; and seeks to influence funding decision-making to increase the flow of resources to women’s groups and feminist movements in the Pacific region.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This is a formative review, and it has two purposes. Firstly, to understand progress to date towards PFF's inception outcomes and inform PFF’s directions over the remainder of the inception phase and as it transitions to full implementation. Secondly, to understand how MFAT support has contributed to this progress and how MFAT can maximise the impact of our support.

The scope of the review is:
MFAT’s core funding and other operational support to PFF.
