Project Overview

Sonke Gender Justice seeks to hire a consultant to complete a midterm assessment to systematically evaluate the integration and effectiveness of gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) components within the media landscape under the project “Sustainable Independent Media Activity” (SIMA) in South Sudan. The Sustainable Independent Media Activity (SIMA) in South Sudan, funded by USAID, aims to bolster the resilience and sustainability of independent media. This initiative seeks to enhance the provision of credible, accurate, and reliable information to South Sudanese citizens, thereby supporting democratic processes and peacebuilding efforts.

Purpose of this Consultancy 

  • To assess how effectively GESI principles have been integrated into the SIMA project activities and to measure their impact on the project outcomes. This evaluation helps understand whether GESI considerations have improved media practices and influenced the broader media landscape in South Sudan since the first baseline assessment.
  • To identify successful strategies and best practices in the implementation of GESI initiatives within the media project, as well as challenges that may have hindered effective integration. This helps in refining and strengthening GESI components in ongoing and future activities.
  • To provide evidence-based insights and recommendations that will guide strategic adjustments in the project to enhance its effectiveness in promoting gender equality and social inclusion. This includes revising or introducing new approaches to better address the needs and rights of diverse groups.
  • To assess the current capacity of media personnel, institutions, and other stakeholders in understanding and applying GESI principles. This can lead to targeted capacity-building initiatives aimed at promoting inclusive and equitable media practices.
  • To hold the project accountable to its GESI objectives by transparently evaluating its progress and outcomes. This promotes transparency and accountability, ensuring that GESI is not only a stated component of the project but is actively being pursued and achieved.
  • To generate insights that can support policy development and advocacy efforts aimed at creating a more inclusive and equitable media landscape in South Sudan. This can influence broader sectoral policies and practices that support GESI.
