Antecedentes

UNFPA is looking to contribute to Joint UN multi-sectorial response to CRSV and support CRSV survivors by developing a compilation of relevant, aggregated data into a compendium of actors, available services, and applied standards and practice in the area of Conflict Related Sexual Violence in BiH.

Compendium represents one of the key elements in researching available services, standards, practice and actors providing support to CRSV survivors and setting up system wide baselines for CRSV evidence based policy making and service delivery. Its creation is to support establishment of a coordinated service delivery, enhance coherence among different actors in BiH and serve as a reliable database for survivors themselves when seeking services. Compendium will be presented as a final product in the form of an interactive database that can be subsequently used by a wider public and expanded on per-need basis.

The contract terms will include the following

The contractor must observe UN Minimum Operational Security Standards (MOSS) as communicated by the United Nations for the location(s) visited;
Be willing to travel around Bosnia and Herzegovina;
All rights acquired by UNFPA for all the documents produced;
Where the contractor fails to deliver the required quality of products, the rate payable will be reduced. UNFPA reserves the right to assess the quality of products. Contractor has obligation to finalise products/documents to the full UNFPA satisfaction;
Payment for contractor will not exceed average UNFPA rates for national consultants.
