UNFPA  Viet Nam is recruting an international consultancy, comprising International Team Leader and National Consultant(s), to design and conduct the mid-term review (MTR) of the joint programme “Elimination of Violence against Women and Children in Viet Nam from 2021 to 2025”.

The “Elimination of Violence against Women and Children in Viet Nam from 2021 to 2025” (EVAWC) is a joint programme between the Governments of Viet Nam and Australia, implemented by MOLISA and MOSCT with the support of the UNFPA, UNICEF and UN Women. The overall goal of the programme is to contribute to ensuring that women and children in Viet Nam, including those most vulnerable, are able to live a life free of violence through strengthened prevention strategies and multisectoral responses.

A mid-term review of the EVAWC joint programme will be conducted to take stock of lessons learned, including what has worked and what has not worked, and the programming context in order to adjust the joint programme targets and implementation as needed.
