Assignment Title: Consultancy for Review, Development, and Implementation of Training and Capacity Building Packages for GBV Service Providers

Activity No. MZ-MTGAS- 513866-CS-QCBS

The Government of Mozambique (GoM), through the Ministry of Labour, Gender and Social Action (MTGAS), with support from the World Bank (WB), is implementing the Capacity Strengthening Program to Improve the Response to Gender-Based Violence (GBV), called Empodera. The program aims to improve the capacity of GBV service providers, strengthen the provision of integrated digital services, and increase their use by survivors.

The EMPODERA Program emerges as a structured response to strengthen institutional and community capacity for GBV prevention and response, aiming to improve:

• The quality and harmonization of training for government and CSO service providers;

• Survivor-centered response, promoting practices that reduce revictimization and stigma;

• Use of digital tools for case management and data integration;

• Sustainability of the multisectoral response through the institutionalization of replicable training packages.

Thus, this consultancy is essential to address persistent gaps, ensure uniform implementation of protocols, and consolidate a national network of adequately trained providers.

The task associated include:

• Mapping and Initial Diagnosis: detailed survey of training needs by province and district.

• Development of Specific Training Packages for different provider groups (health, justice, social action, CSOs).

• Preparation of Operational Guides and Practical Tools (referral, monitoring and evaluation, emergency protocols).

• Training at all levels (central, provincial, district, and community) using the ToT methodology.

• Follow-up, Supervision, and Mentoring: post-training support in-person and online, with quarterly reports.

• Use of national, regional, and international best practices.
