Oxfam Consultancy: Research Study for SGBV Project
Ref: INT0931
Location: Nairobi
Region: HECA
Division: International
Oxfam and partners are implementing a project entitled “Ensuring accountability for Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV) and increased participation of women in Africa”.
The project is expected to increase state accountability for conflict related sexual and gender based violence. It is hoped that state accountability will in turn facilitate access to justice for survivors of sexual and gender based violence.
The project focus countries are Egypt, Nigeria and South Sudan with intention to carry out interventions at the continental level informed by the country level work and experiences.
It is intended that both the country and continental level advocacy and project interventions be informed by good quality research.
Oxfam and partners intend to use the evidence generated from the research to push for effective policy, legal and programmatic responses to sexual and gender based violence at national and continental levels.
The research component of this project has the potential to inform on-going post conflict reconstruction and development initiatives within these countries and across the continent if leveraged successfully.
It is intended that the research be anchored on Article 10 of the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa exploring the following;
- The economic, social and political cost of SGBV in the 3 targeted countries.
- Providing an intersectional analysis on the level of military expenditure in the project countries and whether this contributes or undermines safety, security and social development for citizens particularly women
- Contrasting levels of military expenditure against the economic, social and political cost of conflict and impact of SGBV and
- Offering propositional scenarios the impact of redirected investments from the military and related security apparatus can have on social development and women’s rights in general and the reduction of sexual and gender based violence specifically
