UNNGOF intends to implement a project titled Strengthening Citizens Engagement and Public Accountability (SCEPA) supported by the Royal Danish Embassy. The four-year project will contribute towards an organized and engaged citizenry actively holding public institutions accountable. Objective three of the project seeks to improve coordination and capacity of CSOs to effectively influence governance and accountability processes. Under this objective, the project focuses on building the capacity of grassroots organisations to engage and mobilise citizens to participate in accountability processes. UNNGOF seeks to identify and incubate 14 regional CSOs across the country and transform them into regional democracy hubs in the target regions and will work with them throughout the project to perform specific tasks and ensure that they are anchors of democratic accountability across the country. In this regard, UNNGOF seeks to carry out a capacity assessment for the identified CSOs at regional level to inform the selection of the Democracy hubs. This assessment will also inform the development of tailor-made capacity-strengthening action plans to bridge the identified gaps. It is against this background that UNNGOF is seeking the services of a consultant or firm to undertake OCAs for the selected CSOs and develop comprehensive Capacity Building Plans.

The infractions against civil society, despite the presence of a regulatory framework and laws that lay out avenues for structured engagement like in Uganda, have severely affected civil society organising, operations and engagement on critical issues in the country. In South Sudan, the operating environment political unrest has led to the closure of most CSOs with some going into hiding for fear of political persecution. The poaching of top CSO leaders and technocrats by the Government in Kenya remains a major issue of concern. In Tanzanian CSOs face constant threats of deregistration while in Rwanda the law grants leeway for local government to co-opt and control the activities and budgets of CSOs within their area of operation.

In spite of this, many NGOs continue to operate and deliver their mandates with some building robust institutional resilience, adopting strategies that are unique and effective. However, these strategies and resilience models are not well documented for mutual learning. It is against this background, that seek applications from competent individuals to conduct a study on NGO resilience under direct government attacks in selected 3 partner states of the East African Region.

Objective of the Study

The overall objective of this study is to enable us to better understand the preparedness, response strategies, and resilience of NGOs to shrinking civic space in 3 select partner states of the EAC.

With funding from the European Union, UNNGOF together with West Nile Civil Society Network (WECSNET) has been implementing a 3-year project titled – Strengthening Grass Root Social Accountability for the past 18 months. The project is designed to balance the power between the citizens and their leaders and ensure the meaningful participation of citizens in development processes. The project’s overall goal is to contribute toward the improved capacity of citizens and CSOs to hold governments accountable for good governance and service delivery in Eastern and West Nile sub-regions by 2025.

Since the project is at its middle point, the UNNGOF is seeking to undertake a Mid-Term Review (MTR) to determine progress made so far under this initiative and the extent to which it is on track to deliver against its original objectives – at impact, outcomes and outputs level.

The MTR will also facilitate a reflection on learnings so far and help identify potential changes or adjustments that will help enhance the programme and increase the likelihood of its success. Findings from the MTR will help frame priorities, plans, and activities for the remaining period of the programme and beyond.

UNNGOF is therefore seeking applications from competent individuals or firms to conduct a mid-term review for the project.
