STATEMENT OF WORK
Sustainable Fish Asia (SUFIA) Local Capacity Development (LCD) Activity
Gender Workshop Facilitator
1. Introduction/Background
The purpose of the USAID Sustainable Fish Asia (SUFIA) Local Capacity Development (LCD) Activity is to facilitate the organizational capacity development of regional fisheries organizations; facilitate and document project co-creation between these organizations and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), leading to USAID-issuance of a Public International Organization (PIO) grant to each organization; and conduct a regional Private Sector Engagement Landscape Assessment of the fisheries sector in Asia. RTI International is the implementing organization for SUFIA LCD Activity.
SUFIA’s Assessment on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) in fisheries in Asia-Pacific and SEAFDEC have identified the need for more capacity building of fisheries officers and project implementers in gender integration in small scale fisheries. This starts with an understanding of the importance of having a gender lens throughout the phases of project development, management and implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. There is also a need to document this training into a training module and a manual, to be used by technical departments and member country gender focal persons within their own organizations and constituencies.
This Statement of Work is for a Gender Workshop Facilitator for the Regional Workshop on Gender Integration in Small Scale Fisheries in Southeast Asia for SEAFDEC.
