The programme is funded by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and builds on WFD's and KT's Global Equality Project Phase I (2021-2022) and Commonwealth Equality project (2020-2021). The programme implementation period of GEP II is between August 2022 and March 2023, with the total budget of GBP 869,795. GEP II works with decision-makers and civic actors across 12 countries and territories1 to make progress towards advancing gender equality and LGBT+ inclusion. Programme interventions are based on: - Creating greater evidence, capacities, and incentives among government actors and parliamentarians on the social and economic costs of discriminatory regulations and practices - Strengthening collaborative relationships between CSOs and political decision-makers and support the flow of reliable information and evidence between them; - Deepening civil society policy development and policy advocacy capacities with a view to creating a more conducive environment for positive change in laws, policies, and implementation of social norms. GEP II reports to a Programme Steering Group comprised of WFD and KT representatives as well as to the FCDO via formal reporting mechanisms. Countries across Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Pacific were selected with multiple factors in mind, including acknowledging the limited timescale of the project. Programme interventions have been designed to factor and capitalise upon existing relationships that WFD and KT already had established in targeted countries, and with already existing movements, to progress towards greater equality. Where these factors did not exist, programme interventions have prioritised developing the evidence base to be used by decision-makers and civic actors to make the case for greater equality, targeting countries where ongoing advocacy and legislative reform has been identified or is currently underway. GEP II has also invested in global products to advance the objectives of the programme and with a view for usage beyond the life cycle of the programme. These include: • An online e-course, adapting WFD's Post-Legislative Scrutiny (PLS) methodology for CSOs • Workshops on the application of Post-Legislative Scrutiny (PLS) by civil society organisations in selected countries • Research on the healthcare accessibility for LGBT+ individuals during the Covid 19 pandemic • The development of a SOGIE-inclusive CEDAW tracker • Animations on intersectionality • Workshops on identifying and working with decision-makers who champion inclusion For further information, please refer to the Invitation to Tender document.
