Sample Terms of Reference - Preventing and Responding to Gender-Based Violence in World Bank Operations

Effectively addressing gender-based violence (GBV) contributes to the achievement of the World Bank’s twin goals of poverty reduction and shared prosperity by increasing the ability of women and girls to participate in society and livelihood opportunities. GBV including sexual harassment (SH), exploitation, and abuse (SEA) is a prevalent feature in settings across countries where the World Bank operates. This Terms of Reference outlines the roles and responsibilities for a Senior Consultant to lead a portfolio review for the Country Team. The purpose of the review is: i) to assess key contextual and project related risks that may contribute or give rise to sexual exploitation, harassment, and abuse, and other forms of GBV; ii) conduct stakeholder consultations and mapping of available GBV response services; and iii) recommend key interventions and risk management tools and policies for pipeline or active projects to address key risks to SEA/GBV. This assignment will focus on Country Portfolio. Travel may be expected as part of the assignment. The outputs summarized in this Terms of Reference (TOR) will bring the gender lens into World Bank’s Investment Project.
