SGBV Capacity Building Specialist Consultancy

To achieve the bold vision of its 2030 strategy, MSI Reproductive Choices commits to expanding access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). This includes mitigating risks of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), encompassing sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), through the provision of SGBV response services and care. These are not secondary to the provision of sexual and reproductive health services – they are intrinsic to delivering comprehensive, client-centered care. To achieve the commitments MSI has made to its clients, MSI will strengthen its preparedness to mitigate risks of and respond to SGBV by implementing a basic care approach and package of services, including establishing systems and procedures to better support, serve and refer survivors of SGBV, and work with our partners to develop a commitment to comprehensive SGBV mitigation and care.

MSI is seeking one or two consultants to (1) conduct a qualitative assessment and (2) develop a provider training package for SGBV, building on existing tools and guidance and informed by the qualitative learning exercises. Please see the terms of reference.
