Position: Training Consultant – Capacity Building for State Actors on FGM/SGBV Prevention and Response
Organization: Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA)
Location: Somalia & Somaliland
Contract Type: Short-term consultancy
Duration: 10 working days
Application Deadline: March 12, 2026
Background:
The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA), in collaboration with GIZ, will conduct a three-day capacity-building training for state institutions in Somalia and Somaliland to address gaps in knowledge and practice related to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) prevention and response.
Recent constitutional amendments and proposed legislative changes have weakened legal protections for women and girls, while FGM remains nearly universal, affecting over 99% of women aged 15–49. Institutional responses remain fragmented, with limited application of constitutional and international human rights frameworks and weak survivor-centered referral pathways.
A pre-workshop survey conducted with 17 state institutions (Justice, Health, Education, Religious Affairs, Youth, Information, and Social Affairs) revealed gaps in legal literacy, misconceptions regarding religious justifications of FGM, and limited coordination and accountability mechanisms.
Based on these findings, SIHA and GIZ seek a consultant to design, deliver, and document a structured training program tailored to these contextual needs.
Objectives:
The training will aim to:
Scope of Work
Phase 1: Review & Inception (2 days)

Phase 4: Reporting & Documentation (1 day)
