TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT

Demand Analysis of GBV Services for Men and Boys and Mapping of SGBV Service Providers

Hiring Office: UNFPA Mozambique

Purpose of consultancy:

The purpose of this consultancy is to undertake the following tasks:

1. Conduct a Demand Analysis for GBV services among men and boys; and
2. Map and develop a directory of civil society organisations (CSOs) providing SGBV-related services in targeted districts

Scope of work: (Description of services, activities, or outputs):

UNFPA has been operating in Mozambique since 1987, supporting the Government of Mozambique to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender equality, and population dynamics. A core pillar of UNFPA’s work in the country is the prevention of and response to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), with a focus on strengthening essential services, survivor-centred approaches, and systems-level coordination.

The Tolerancia Zero programme contributes to national efforts to prevent and respond to SGBV by strengthening service delivery, improving coordination among actors, and ensuring that survivors—particularly women, girls, and other vulnerable groups—have access to quality, accessible, and integrated services. While women and girls remain disproportionately affected by SGBV, there is growing recognition of the need to better understand and respond to violence experienced by men and boys, while ensuring that investments are evidence-based and aligned with broader survivor-centred service frameworks.

Within this context, UNFPA seeks to commission a consultancy to:

(i) assess the demand for GBV services among men and boys; and

(ii) map and develop a directory of civil society organisations (CSOs) providing SGBV-related services in targeted districts.

This study falls under Outcome 2 of the programme; whereby available, accessible, and quality essential SGBV services are promoted under the Tolerancia Zero programme.

Overall Objective: To generate evidence that strengthens UNFPA’s and partners’ capacity to deliver inclusive, accessible, and coordinated SGBV services by assessing demand for GBV services for men and boys and mapping existing SGBV service providers in target districts for survivors of SGBV.

Specific Objectives:

1. To consolidate and analyse available data to assess the demand, gaps, and barriers related to GBV services for men and boys.
2. To examine the feasibility, added value, and programmatic implications of investing in targeted GBV responses for male survivors within existing service delivery models.
3. To map CSOs and service providers offering SGBV-related services (including shelters, legal aid, psychosocial support, health services, and child protection) in target districts for all survivors.
4. To develop localized, user-friendly directories of SGBV service providers, with attention to proximity to CAIs, clinics, and entry points to the multisectoral mechanism.
5. To provide practical recommendations to strengthen referral pathways, coordination mechanisms, and integration between prevention and response services.
