The global objective of the call for proposals is to contribute to gender equality and women's and girls' empowerment in developing countries. The specific objective is to reinforce the technical and financial capacity of local civil society organisations (CSOs) to foster rights of women and girls living in developing countries with high prevalence of violence against women and countries affected by forgotten crisis.

Priorities of the Call for Proposals are given for actions respond to the following priorities:

1. Ending violence against women and girls: working towards the elimination of all forms of sexual or gender-based violence (SGBV) through various approaches that empower women and girls to end, avoid and escape from violence and violent situations (e.g. increased social, political and economic empowerment);
2. Increasing access to sexual and reproductive health and rights for youth, women and men: including to non-discriminatory, age-appropriate and comprehensive sexuality education, evidence-based information, family planning and modern contraception, relevant quality care and services as allowed by national law.

Financial support to third parties is a major feature of the programme and therefore most of the grant total amount will be further distributed to local civil society organisations working in the target countries of the call in order to implement activities related to one or two of the priorities.

The objective of this assignment is to assist the European Commission in the evaluation and selection of the best proposals received under the Call EuropeAid/154792/DH/ACT/Multi in line with the quality criteria set in the respective guidelines for grant applicants. The evaluation team is responsible for the technical and financial assessment of 397 administratively compliant Concept Notes and 29 Full Applications.

The specific objective of the present assignment is to provide technical support to the European Commission services in order to select the best proposals received under the above-mentioned call for proposals, as regards both the technical and the financial assessment of the received proposals.
