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.
For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.
We won’t stop until we are all equal.
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.
Work Package 1 – Youth Empowerment – focuses on strengthening young people’s knowledge, skills, and linkages to services through school-based and out-of-school youth clubs.
Work Package 2 – Community engagement – addresses the broader social and institutional environment through engagement with opinion leaders
Work Package 3 – Communication campaigns – focuses on implementation of coordinated social and mass media campaigns
Work Package 4 – Civil society support – focuses on support to local civil society organisations through a small-grants-mechanism for gender-transformative approaches
Key Accountabilities
Provide a youth perspective in the design, implementation, and adaptation of project activities across all work packages, ensuring relevance, acceptability, and accessibility for adolescents and young people.
Support the implementation of school- and youth-club activities, including trainings, events, peer-learning formats, and extracurricular activities.
Contribute to the co-creation and review of SRHR messages, training materials, and IEC products to ensure youth-friendly language and formats.
Support community engagement activities, including dialogue processes with opinion leaders, by providing insights on youth realities, barriers to access, and effective messaging.
Participate in monitoring and learning activities, including feedback collection from young people and documentation of lessons learned from a youth perspective.
Act as a liaison between the project team and youth participants, helping to ensure safeguarding, inclusion, and respectful engagement.
Technical expertise, skills and Knowledge
Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (ACSEE)
2 years of engagement in youth-led or youth-focused initiatives, such as school or youth clubs, community organisations, advocacy groups, or volunteer programmes.
