Consultancy to produce Regional Protection Trends Guidance & Toolkit

Consultancy to produce Regional Protection Trends Guidance & Toolkit

Founded in 1956, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a leading international NGO and one of the few with a specific expertise in forced displacement. Active in 40 countries with 9,000 employees and supported by 7,500 volunteers, DRC protects, advocates, and builds sustainable futures for refugees and other displacement affected people and communities. DRC works during displacement at all stages: In the acute crisis, in displacement, when settling and integrating in a new place, or upon return. DRC provides protection and life-saving humanitarian assistance; supports displaced persons in becoming self-reliant and included into hosting societies; and works with civil society and responsible authorities to promote protection of rights and peaceful coexistence.
DRC has been operating in the Middle East region for over a decade, running a combination of emergency, livelihood, protection and advocacy programs through Country Offices in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey with a Regional Office in Amman.
Purpose of the consultancy
The Danish Refugee Council, Middle East Regional Office, based in Jordan, seeks proposals from a consultant to develop a regional guidance and accompanying tools for producing periodic snapshots of protection trends across the operational areas covered by DRC in the Middle East. This consultancy is expected to be carried out remotely.
Objective of the consultancy
The overall objective of the consultancy is to develop a regional guidance and accompanying tools for producing periodic snapshots of protection trends across the operational areas covered by DRC in the Middle East.
The Guidance & Toolkit should enable to capture, as a minimum, relevant contextual (political, socio-economic, demographic), legislative and policy developments; key protection risks common in the region and those unique to a specific context; trends related to durable solutions; distinct trends related to refugee and IDP contexts and populations in mixed migration flows; trends related to other population groups across age, gender and diversity spectrum as relevant to identified protection issues. The Guidance & Toolkit should also allow for comparison of trends overtime. Particular attention throughout the consultancy will be given to the linkages between protection and other sectors (particularly economic recovery). Finally, the Guidance & Toolkit should facilitate the inclusion of brief operational updates to reflect how DRC is responding to the identified protection trends.
The terminology and thematic structure of the Guidance & Toolkit should be in-line with the Results-Based Protection approach and with the Protection Analytical Framework (PAF) Concepts Matrix.
