Experience Length:10 years
Job Description/Requirements
TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND FUNDRAISING CONSULTANCY
Duration:1.5 months
1. Brief Introduction of EACHRights
Established
in May 2010, The East African Centre for Human Rights (EACHRights) is
non-partisan, Regional Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). EACHRights
exist to initiate and undertake programs that promote and enhance
Economic, Social and Cultural (ECOSOC) rights for vulnerable and
marginalized groups in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The organization
specializes on the Right to Education, Right to Health and Child
Protection.
All the East Africa Community (EAC) States have
comprehensive Bills of rights incorporated into their constitutions.
However, several challenges and risks have limited the actualization of
the Governments’ ambitions for improved welfare of children. Poverty
leads as the main cause of neglect and Violence Against Children (VAC);
followed closely by weak enforcement of regulations; weak child
protection systems; poor coordination amongst key actors; and
insufficient resource allocation. Many children across East Africa are
orphaned or vulnerable, including children living with HIV/AIDS and
Children with Disability (CWD). Access to services and participation in
community life by children is also relatively low. There is thus a need
to reaffirm the commitment of the EAC States towards promoting,
protecting and fulfilling the rights of children in the region,
including mechanisms and resources for the same.
On the economic
front, the budgetary allocations to children’s issues remain low, with
most of the priority issues affecting children not being effectively
addressed. The over reliance on donor funding for children’s sector
activities in East Africa reflect a lack of commitment by the
Governments to prioritize children’s issues. The said donor funding is
itself reducing rapidly. Further, privatization of basic services like
education and health has pushed the availability of the same beyond the
reach of many people.
EACHRights’ work over the next five years
will be organized into the following strategic focus areas: ECOSOC
Rights Advocacy; Research and Knowledge Management; Partnership
Development; Capacity Development/ System Strengthening; and the
Institutional Development of EACHRights.
2. Rationale and Objectives of the Assignment

contribute to the realization of children, youth and women’s rights in
