Background
VSO has been in Nepal since 1964 and currently implementing its programmes in 20 districts of five Provinces. Currently, VSO Nepal programme focuses on Education, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, Youth, Livelihoods, Gender & Inclusion, Governance, Climate Change and Resilience. Through the Volunteering for Development (VFD) approach, VSO aims to be more responsive to and actively engaged in supporting disadvantaged groups.
VSO’s Strengthening Access to Holistic, Gender Responsive, and Accountable Justice in Nepal (SAHAJ) aims to reduce vulnerability towards different forms of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) particularly against Women and Girls, break the culture of silence around GBV and increase access to security and justice services. This is a consortium project led by Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) with International Alert (IA) and partners namely Forum for Women, Law and Development (FWLD); Antenna Foundation Nepal (AFN); Emory University; SAMAGRA and MAHURI Home. SAHAJ is one of the projects within UKAID’s Integrated Programme for Strengthening Security and Justice (IP-SSJ). The project covers total of 13 districts in Province no. 2 and Lumbini Province.
SAHAJ through the uses of different approaches worked to establish positive social norms. Various Diffusion’s component was designed to strengthen coordinated effort in transforming harmful social norms and practices around GBV with specific considerations on breaking the culture of silence and increasing justice-seeking behaviour.
Mainly the approaches such as Family-Centred Approach (FCA) and School Centred Approach (SCA) of SAHAJ worked to bring in positive transformation through diffusion by a) creating enabling environment to expedite positive changes on social norms around breaking the culture of silence surrounding GBV b) publicizing the changes regarding social norms and, C) Reinforcing new behaviour and norms.
To exhibit the procured and impact of those innovative approaches the proposed consultancy will serve to expand the scope of transformative norms and behaviours. The two animated videos showcasing the development of the strategy of the approaches (each less 2 to 5 minutes) will be developed in Nepali and English Language. To create consistency with our evolving organizational brand guidelines and expanding track record, efforts should be taken to ensure the video files can be easily refreshed regularly with updated brand assets (logos, font, colours, etc.).
Through this work, SAHAJ encourages innovative ideas and contents that can gain quick attention for further references as a key knowledge product and bring the change in harmful social norms and promote activities that tend to associate the credibility and reliability of SAHAJ.
