The Danish Family Planning Association (DFPA) is seeking an experienced and qualified consultant to complete a review the “Danish Arab Partnership for Improved Gender Equality and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Tunisia and Morocco program (2017-2022)”. The consultant should document the theory of change and strategies used in the program, analyse the results achieved and lessons learned. The consultancy will, based on this analysis, provide recommendations for future Gender Equality (GE) and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) programs in the context of Tunisia and Morocco.
Background DFPA is a non-governmental organization without religious or political affiliations. We work with associations and organizations within the sphere of SRHR and are a member of International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). DFPA have been implementing international SRHR and GE projects in Tunisia and Morocco since 2017 with a focus on marginalized people us
Fadoua Bakhadda, Regional Director of the Arab World Region (IPPFAWR), describes her journey to IPPF.
My passion for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is deeply personal. My great-grandmother died giving birth to her 11th child because she had no access to family planning. This was the spark that started my journey to fight for SRHR, because it affects everyone – regardless of their nationality or age. These rights are the basic needs of all human beings.
In 2000, I left home in Morocco to study medicine in Senegal, but in my second year I became very ill with typhoid and had to return home. I told myself that if I survived this, that I would give back to others. I indeed survived, and returned to my education, graduating in business. After that, I quickly returned to my promise of helping people.
