The British Embassy in Lima is seeking bids for a project that would bring together decentralized voices from civil society to discuss challenges to democratic governance and sustainable development in Peru, putting forward a consensus public agenda.
Results from the project should inform partner interventions and policymaking and strengthen the UK’s reputation as an ally to democratic governance in Peru.
Objectives
- The objective of the work is to support the UK’s commitment to strong democracies, public participation, and rule of law.
- Projects should adopt a decentralized approach, with clear spaces for dialogue between local civil society actors, academia, public organizations and youth with other key actors.
- Successful bidders will demonstrate a creative, impactful approach to ensure the creation of a citizen’s public agenda.
Scope of Work

- Consensus building
- They expect projects to create a space for inclusive dialogue between a diverse set of actors, including civil society organizations, academia, private sector and youth groups. They especially look for bids that would centre local and grassroots organizations.
- Sharing out results
- Projects should collate and systematize the shared agenda that arises in dialogue spaces to maintain a record that can be introduced into the public agenda.
- After results have been compiled, projects should aim to disseminate results through multimedia communication products. They especially look for bids that can work with local media to that end.
- Stakeholder participation
- Projects should involve a quite large list of different relevant stakeholders from all the sectors: private, public, academia, local organizations, NGOs, unions, etc. to be able to collate and give voice to all underrepresented groups and create an inclusive space of dialogue.
