Call for expression of interest in partnership within the programme on protection of vulnerable population (including migrants, internally displaced people (idps), victims of trafficking (vots) and gender-based violence (gbvs) and prevention of protection risks

INTRODUCTION

The majority of Burundi’s humanitarian needs are caused by recurring climate-related disasters. Frequent natural disasters provoke massive displacements of persons and cause severe human and material damage, particularly in rural areas. The immediate displacement creates protection concerns and risks for the most vulnerable and gives space for traffickers to operate and exploit affected populations, while they search for safety and means of income to help restore their lives.

Human trafficking, gender-based and domestic violence, and related crimes are a severe violation of human rights which affects the physical and psychological well-being of victims, their families and communities. It undermines national security and impedes the sustainable development of the country.

To support IOM to implement its protection and prevention mainstreaming projects, identify, screen and provide required assistance to the victims and potential victims of trafficking and gender-based violence (VoT&GVB), internally displaced population (IDP) and other vulnerable categories, provide the beneficiaries with direct and reintegration support, coordinate the work with local authorities and community leaders and facilitate the development of the National referral mechanism, IOM is looking for dynamic, active and experienced NGOs for partnership in project implementation..

IOM will select 2 (two) NGOs which work cross Burundi to submit Project and Budget Proposal(s) on conduction of the below activities.

The project will be implemented given the availability of funding. The time frame is 2022 – 2023

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION – 23 August 2022
