The organization’s work is grounded in a single conviction: every child deserves to grow up in a safe, caring family environment. In Somalia, SOS CV Somalia has been operational for four decades, running integrated programs across child protection, alternative care, family strengthening, education, health, and youth empowerment primarily in South-Central Somalia and Puntland, with locations in Mogadishu, Baidoa, Kismayo, and Jowhar, and an increasingly active presence in additional districts through humanitarian and development partnerships. Over the years, SOS CV Somalia has expanded its programming across multiple sectors and geographic areas, delivering an integrated portfolio that spans child protection, alternative and family-based care, family strengthening, youth empowerment, education, health, and emergency response. This growth has increased program-management complexity and heightened expectations from a diversifying donor base, making it essential for the organization to strengthen its internal systems, including gender, diversity, and inclusion (GDI), to ensure consistent and equitable practice across all areas of its work. Rationale for Gender Audit SOS Children’s Villages International’s commitment to Gender Equality (GE) is anchored in the Gender Equality Policy (GEP) endorsed by the International Senate in October 2014. The policy, piloted in four National Associations (Uruguay, Vietnam, Malawi, and Kenya) and one IOR (East and Southern Africa), articulates the organization’s approach to integrating a gender equality perspective across its work. A revised Gender Equality Policy, aligned with contemporary conceptual developments and discourse on gender equality, is currently under development, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to strengthening and updating its gender equality framework. Over the past decade, SOS Somalia’s operations have expanded significantly, including a growing humanitarian portfolio that has increased the scale and complexity of its programming. Against this backdrop, a gender audit is essential to provide a clear, evidence-based snapshot of how SOS Somalia is practically translating its gender equality commitments into action. The audit will identify gaps, good practices, and areas for improvement across programs and operations, ensuring gender equality principles are not only articulated in policy but effectively mainstreamed in day-to-day practice, strengthening accountability and informing the organization’s broader efforts to align with the forthcoming updated Gender Equality Policy. Objectives of Gender Audit The overall purpose of the gender audit is to assess how effectively SOS Children’s Villages Somalia is operationalizing the SOS Federation Gender Equality Policy (GEP) and mainstreaming gender equality across its institutional operations and programs. Specifically, the audit aims to: Assess institutional and programmatic performance – Identify strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities in the implementation of the Gender Equality Policy and the status of gender transformative programming and operations across SOS CV Somalia’s programmes Identify capacity gaps – Determine where additional skills, training, awareness-building, and resources are needed to strengthen gender transformative approaches. Inform a gender action plan – Generate evidence-based findings and recommendations that will guide the development of a gender action plan to effectively mainstream gender equality across SOS CV Somalia as an institution and throughout its programs. Guide methodology development – Provide a basis for the Consultant to design audit tools and methodology informed by their professional expertise and grounded in the Gender Equality Policy and with n Intersectional approach. Specific Objectives of the Gender Audit To assess the extent to which a gender perspective is integrated into SOS CV Somalia’s policies, strategies, program documents, budgets, and decision-making processes. To assess how SOS CV Somalia (the national office and select programme locations) is operationalizing its commitment to gender equality, in line with the SOS CV Gender Equality Policy and relevant national strategy, across its programming, organizational values, and practices. To identify existing internal practices, policies, and support systems for gender transformative programming and operations within SOS CV Somalia and assess their effectiveness. To assess the technical capacity and understanding of staff to integrate and mainstream gender equality, document good practices, identify gaps, and build organizational ownership of gender responsiveness. To assess the level of political will and identify institutional barriers affecting the integration of a gender equality perspective within programming and the institution as a whole. To establish a baseline on gender transformative programming and operations and gender-related data to support continuous assessment and monitoring within SOS CV Somalia. To identify current challenges, gaps, and areas of concern related to gender mainstreaming. To develop practical recommendations and a gender action plan addressing identified gaps and challenges, including suggested improvements and innovations to strengthen implementation of the Gender Equality Policy and gender-responsive programs. Scope and Methodology The Gender Audit will cover the gender mainstreaming of SOS CV Somalia to provide a baseline for progress on gender transformative programming and operations, inform the development of a gender mainstreaming strategy and Gender Action Plan for SOS CV, guide the work of SOS CV on Gender Mainstreaming and beyond, and validate the usefulness of the existing gender checklist specific to the programming context. The gender equality audit process needs to be participatory, consider intersectionality and work closely with program staff and participants. The process should consider objective SADD data, staff and community perceptions, knowledge and practice on integrating and mainstreaming gender equality. The participatory gender audit will focus on the following issues: Leadership and decision-making; Staff capacity; Gender mainstreaming in program and policy; Tools and resources; Planning and budgeting for gender mainstreaming and building capacity; Monitoring and evaluation; and Organizational culture, such as workplace issues including sexual harassment. The key components of the methodology will be: Staff individual self-assessment; An extensive desk review (involving a gender working group); Semi-structured interviews with staff gender officers and all hierarchical levels; Semi-structured interviews with partner staff; SOS Mothers, Youth, Children in AC and FS; A collective participatory audit workshop; and A participatory feedback session (involving the gender working group).
