Women’s Voice and Leadership Learning Partnership: Regional Learning Hubs

Scope

Global Affairs Canada and IDRC are supporting a Learning Partnership to enhance the efforts and impacts of the flagship program, Women’s Voice and Leadership, renewed in 2023. This call for proposals seeks to recruit four organizations (or consortia of organizations) for the Learning Partnership’s Regional Learning Hubs. 

The hubs will support localized learning, evidence generation and knowledge sharing among women’s rights organizations, LGBTQI+ groups and their networks. They will complement the Global Learning Hub by anchoring learning activities in regional contexts and ensuring that insights are grounded in local realities.

Each hub will co-lead a participatory process to contextualize the co-created learning agenda. This includes overseeing region-specific learning priorities, questions and approaches that reflect the lived experiences and advocacy strategies of local actors. Each hub will also be responsible for organizing region-specific convenings and virtual engagements, fostering vibrant learning ecosystems that strengthen advocacy and interventions to advance gender equality.

Eligibility

This call for proposals is intended for women’s rights and feminist organizations or consortia of such organizations that are primarily governed, led, and based in the Global South. Organizations from the Global North are also eligible if they primarily operate in countries that receive Official Development Assistance and have as their core mission the promotion of the rights of women, youth, girls, and gender-diverse people.  

Applicants will need to demonstrate previous experience in applying feminist monitoring, evaluation and learning practices, with an interest in demonstrating the benefits of feminist or gender-transformative approaches, and be able to perform services in English, French and Spanish, at a minimum.
