UN Women: Drivers of Conflict on the Tunisia-Libya and Southern Libya Borders – Triggers, Livelihoods & Gender

UN Women: Drivers of Conflict on the Tunisia-Libya and Southern Libya Borders – Triggers, Livelihoods & Gender


Deadline: 29-Sep-20

UN Women, in partnership with the United States Institute of Peace and the World Food Programme, is seeking proposals to conduct research that will investigate the specific drivers of conflict along the Tunisia-Libya border and Libya’s southern borders, and examine how border dynamics affect livelihoods and where relevant, food security, all from a gender perspective; and with the intent to produce new data and recommendations, and identify new areas for research.

In each line of effort, the research will investigate the specific drivers of conflict and examine how border dynamics affect livelihoods and, where relevant, food security. The research will look at these categories of inquiry with a gender lens to identify similar and different impacts on women and men, girls and boys.

Objective

This research project will produce new data and recommendations for community actors, practitioners, and policy makers in Tunisia and Libya; and identify new areas for research that are useful to local actors, international practitioners, and policy makers.

The research along the two sets of borders will be carried out concurrently. This will ensure that any challenges during the data collection phase along one set of borders does not hinder the progress of the data collection, analysis and other steps in the research methodology in the other. Applicants should consider organizing their key personnel accordingly.
The responsible party will be responsible for:

Obtaining and maintaining institutional review board (IRB) approvals, as required
Designing the research methodology;
Selecting and/or designing the data collection instruments;
Collecting the data in partnership with local Tunisian and Libyan partners; and
Analyzing the data, validating findings, and delivering the final report that describes the research process, answers the agreed research questions and provides actionable programmatic and policy recommendations.
Funding Information

The budget range for this proposal should be [75,000 USD Max.)]
