Total number of Consultants
1
Country Program
CRRD; VPRU/PROL- Global
Proposed Dates
1 December 2025 - 28 February 2026
Duration
Estimated: Approx. 12 days over 3 months (ES305)
Background to the Project
Between 2022-2024, with Sida funding, IRC focused on embedding, testing, and locally adapting protection analysis resources to improve the knowledge, skills, resources, and capacity of frontline protection actors on how to organize and analyse data for a more in-depth understanding of context-specific protection risks and inform collective strategies towards protection outcomes. Although protection analysis methodologies have been adapted by protection actors and are broadly used by the Protection clusters (ex.: Protection Analysis Updates, Policy briefs etc.), understanding of protection analysis methodologies and uptake by other sectors (such as health, nutrition, food security, etc.) has been limited. Thus, there is a need to further advance operationalization of resources to support sector specific outcomes, putting protection risk identification and mitigation at the centre of any humanitarian response.
Project Scope, Objectives, and Approach
In alignment with the Swedish Humanitarian Strategy 2021-2025, this project supports the strategic objective of improved ability to provide protection and assistance for crisis-affected people by enhancing existing protection analysis methodology and humanitarian actor's capacities to conduct multisectoral humanitarian interventions which reduce protection risks and contribute to protection outcomes. This project will leverage past Sida-funded projects and capitalize on progress already made by a range of stakeholders at local, interagency, regional, and national level to operationalize available resources, expand reach, and contribute to context-specific multisectoral risk reduction programming.
IRC has partnered with Action Contra La Faim (ACF) for the implementation of activities related to the adaptation and operationalization of tailored protection analysis resources and materials for FSL actors to support their engagement in protection analysis, use of data they collect to understand protection risks and their impacts, and promote the use of the analysis to inform protection centered program interventions contributing to protection outcomes. The tools are currently undergoing country testing and 2nd round of peer review aiming to be finalized in early November 2025 and sent for translation into French, Arabic and Spanish.
Scope of work:
This consultancy will support design of finalized resources for humanitarian food security and livelihoods actors, ensuring accessibility and visual coherence with similar tools and resources utilized by humanitarian food security and livelihoods actors.
Deliverables:
As part of Consultant's support to the Project's activities, the following deliverables are expected:
Finalized package of adapted protection analysis resources for food security and livelihoods, including:
Guidance Note (estimated 20 pages) and associated annexes:
Glossary (estimated 5 pages)
Risk Analysis Matrix and template (estimated 2 page)
Question Bank (estimated 4 pages)
Using Protection / Secondary Data (How-to) (estimated 4 pages)
Safeguarding Checklist (estimated 2 pages)
Updated Internal IRC protection analysis toolbox question bank to reflect additional child protection needs assessment questions (1 excel matrix)
Specifically, the Design Consultant will:
Polish and develop text and visual elements (including tables, graphics, icons, and figures) for resource package in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic;
Transform the conceptual framework (the Protection Analytical Framework adaptation) into a set of visuals including four pillar visualization, process flow, linkages between protection risks and FSL etc
Review and format the Question Bank for usability and propose a layout that enables FSL teams to easily extract and integrate questions into existing tools (e.g., Multi-sectoral Needs Assessments, Post-distribution monitoring, or livelihood assessments). Create a clean, filterable Excel version with drop-downs (by type of assessment, data collection methodology, pillar).
Liaise with target users, Project Team and Advisory Group stakeholders to ensure products are easy to read, understand and use;
Create print and web ready documents (pdfs and excel);
Allow for multiple (3) rounds of revision and incorporate stakeholder feedback.
Develop a cohesive visual identity for the resource package (color palette, layout grid, fonts, iconography) consistent with FSL and protection sector design standards and the IRC/ACF style manuals.
Ensure that the Glossary and Safeguarding Checklist use consistent visual formatting (e.g., boxed definitions, icons
Ensure that multilingual versions (EN, FR, AR, ES) maintain consistent formatting, fonts that support non-Latin scripts, and mirrored layouts when required (e.g., for Arabic).
Incorporate navigation tools for digital use (hyperlinked table of contents, clickable cross-references).
Payment Rate and Schedule:
Consultant may submit invoice after the completion of deliverables. The total amount payable will not exceed USD 9000 This is based on an estimated 12 days of consultancy work at a daily rate of approximately USD 700). The consultancy would be funded using Project funds for the ES305 ‘Harnessing multisectoral protection analysis”.
Requirements:
The consultant has the familiarity with interagency-endorsed resources utilized by humanitarian food security actors (and/or protection) and with inclusive design principles.
Regular communication (via Teams calls or email) and participation in Project Advisory Group Meetings may be required to support preparation and coordination around the key activities and deliverables.
Payment will be based on submission of the deliverables (tools) as indicated above.
Application Process: Applicants should send CV, Cover Letter, sample of previous work (e.g finalized resources, including print and web-ready documents) proposed rate and salary history and 3 professional references (at least one from a previous consultancy assignment).
