Annotated Bibliography on Gender Sensitive Child Protection

Plan International are inviting interested parties to supply quotations (Request for Quotation) for the provision of the development of an Annotated Bibliography on Gender Sensitive Child Protection. Successful bidders will be expected to enter into a formal contract with Plan International.

Each successful bidder is intended to be a Provider, but the contract pertaining to this RFQ shall not constitute an exclusive contract and Plan International, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to enter into agreement with other suppliers, for the same type of services at any time, whenever it deems it necessary.

The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to support the development of a comprehensive theoretical frame for Plan International on how to promote and support gender sensitive child protection. The main objectives are to:

1. Address knowledge gaps: What evidence exists on how to promote positive and nurturing models to ensure children grow up protected from all forms of violence? To what extent are child protection models gender sensitive?

2. Identify tools and resources for programming: What knowledge and resources are available that could inform current and new gender sensitive child protection programme and advocacy initiatives?

3. Inform Plan’s research agenda: What knowledge gaps exist that could be addressed through research projects on gender sensitive child protection, which Plan International could undertake to contribute to sectoral knowledge or design programmes or advocacy?

Evidence should be drawn from low and middle income countries wherever possible, however, where there is little or no evidence on specific topics it may also be necessary to draw on evidence from high income countries

Deliverables

• A draft report for comment by Plan International (edited and proofread) making provisions for two rounds of comments.

• A final, edited and proofread annotated bibliography incorporating any comments from the two rounds of comments from Plan International.

In case of any change made, in the scope of work by Plan International because of an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for performance or any part of the work under the contract, equitable adjustment in the contract price, delivery schedule, or both will be amended in writing.

All documents prepared during the assignment will be treated as Plan International’s property.
