Gender Justice Programme – Masarouna Project

RFQ-JOAMM-25-0062 Consultant to Document Masarouna’s Journey in Jordan

Background

Oxfam has been working in Jordan since the 1990s, supporting humanitarian and development programs that address the needs of refugees and vulnerable Jordanian communities. Through its Gender Justice program, Oxfam is a key partner in the regional Masarouna initiative, a movement that seeks to strengthen civic space and influence decision-making on young people’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in the MENA region. The program supports youth-led advocacy, amplifies marginalized voices, and promotes policy reforms through strategic partnerships and grassroots mobilization.

Since its inception, Masarouna in Jordan has made notable progress in advancing youth-led advocacy, increasing SRHR awareness, and strengthening coalitions. However, the journey has not been without challenges, including societal resistance, policy restrictions, and limited civic space. As the program nears a critical reflection point, Oxfam seeks to engage a consultant to document Masarouna’s journey in Jordan—highlighting key achievements, success stories, and challenges faced—to inform future programming and advocacy efforts.

Objective of the Consultancy

This consultancy presents an exciting opportunity to capture the transformative journey of Masarouna in Jordan and contribute to shaping the next phase of youth-led SRHR advocacy in the region.

• Capturing the program’s key achievements and impact on SRHR advocacy and youth engagement that was achieved through Oxfam in Jordan and the implementing partners
• Showcasing success stories from young activists, partners, and stakeholders.
• Identifying key challenges and barriers encountered during implementation.
• Providing recommendations for future programming and advocacy based on lessons learned.

1. Desk Review: Analyze project documents, reports, and evaluations to understand Masarouna’s approach and outcomes.
