1. CONTEXT OF THE MISSION

Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict, and disaster. HI works alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions, and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. HI works to meet the needs and defend the rights of children, women, and men with disabilities. In emergencies, Hl's mandate widens to target the most vulnerable groups within any population, to ensure their equal access to appropriate relief aid.

Today HI operates in over 60 countries, with armed violence reduction projects in 24 countries, working in extremely fragile settings such as Palestine, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan, as well as in countries affected by legacy explosive ordnance (EO)/mine contamination such as Senegal, Colombia, and Lao PDR. HI is a unique organization with technical expertise in four of the five pillars of mine action: land release and clearance, risk education, victim assistance and advocacy.

Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) activities seek to reduce the risk of death and injury posed by weapons, mines and other Explosive Remnants of War (ERW). Conflict Preparedness & Protection (CPP) aims to provide the knowledge and means of protection to reduce the risks of accidents during an armed conflict by preparing a plan of action before, during and after an armed conflict. It is focusing on how to protect people from the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects, but other types of armed attacks (such as the use of incendiary weapons or shootings) can be considered in CPP messages

EORE and CPP involve raising awareness of all members of affected communities according to their different gender, status and exposures to the danger posed by such explosive hazards. In addition, HI promotes behavioural change via information for the general public, community-based risk education and training activities. Our actions aim to support individuals and communities to find suitable and safer alternative solutions to improve their safety and security.

OBJECTIVES OF THE MISSION

• To develop a global guidance on contextualization of CPP messages to a given context, including a list of global messages to be included into CPP and a methodology on how to contextualize these messages

DELIVERABLES

The deliverable (guideline) shall include:

1. A list of main CPP messages (splited between CPP messages prior to an armed attack, during an armed attack, and immediately after an armed attack).
2. A methodology aiming to support program teams in the adaptation of global messages to their local context(s), including the field test and validation process.

The deliverable shall be developed in English, provided in an editable version.

In addition to the deliverable mentioned above, a presentation of the guideline and how to use it shall be provided to key HI staff.

WORKPLAN

The duration of consultancy services will be effective starting as soon as possible, until December 15th 2026. It is expected that the Consultant propose the number of days required to perform the tasks, and the associated costs. The work plan should give a clear description of how the consultant intends to approach the activities necessary for the service’s completion. The plan should indicate the rate of progress and/or level of completion of the service, including criteria and indicators for checking that it is proceeding as planned.

BUDGET

The applicant shall provide the technical proposal and financial breakdown related to this service with detail descriptions including taxes. HI will not cover any additional payment that are not included in the proposal.

CONTACT PERSON

During the performance of the service, the consultant will be required to work in liaison with Humanity & Inclusion’s teams, and notably with Mrs Héloïse Pihery, Global EORE Specialist, who will be her contact person.
