Background

Oxfam has been present in Jordan since the 1990s, working with local partners to create a future where everyone can reach their full potential, especially women and young people. Our efforts in Jordan focus on providing essential humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians while promoting sustainable, long-term solutions to the country’s challenges in Climate Justice, Economic Justice, and Gender Justice.

Under our Gender Justice program, Oxfam in Jordan is implementing the “Power to Choose” initiative, which contributes to equitable access to inclusive health services and supports stakeholders in advocating for evidence-based healthcare policies. This initiative builds on Oxfam’s commitment to a rights-based, gender-responsive approach with an emphasis on reaching vulnerable women and young people in Jordan. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 5, ensuring healthy lives, promoting well-being for all, and achieving gender equality to empower women and girls.

Introduction to Required Services

Oxfam Jordan seeks a consultant to develop a Training of Trainers (TOT) program under the “Power to Choose” project. This program aims to empower women and youth to become SRHR champions, promoting informed life choices and driving social and behavioral change within their communities. The consultant will design and deliver training that builds knowledge of SRHR, equips participants with advocacy skills, and enhances their leadership to foster positive community impacts aligned with health and gender equality goals.

• Develop culturally sensitive, participatory training materials, including manuals, presentations, handouts, and activities tailored for community champions.

TOT Facilitation:

• Deliver interactive, participant-centered training sessions, incorporating a mix of presentations, group discussions, role-plays, and case studies.

• Emphasize the role of SRHR champions in influencing attitudes, challenging stereotypes, and advocating for health and gender equity within their communities.
• Guide participants on tailoring messages for different audience segments, such as youth, parents, and community leaders.

Coaching and Follow-Up:

• Provide post-training support to TOT participants, including coaching and mentorship sessions to strengthen their role as SRHR champions.
• Develop a feedback mechanism to evaluate the effectiveness of the TOT and identify areas for continuous improvement.
• Support participants in developing community action plans for engaging their communities and promoting SRHR knowledge and positive behavioral change.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E):

• Develop M&E tools to assess the impact of the TOT program on participants’ skills and confidence levels as SRHR champions.
• Track outcomes related to participants’ increased knowledge of SRHR, enhanced facilitation skills, and readiness to initiate community-level SRHR activities.
• Submit a final report detailing the TOT’s achievements, challenges, and recommendations for future TOT programs.
