| Background |
Aim of consultancy: Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU), Wereld in Woorden Global Research and Reporting (WIW), and Results in Health (RiH) seek: a national-level consultant to carry out an in-country mid-term review (MTR) of the Right Here Right Now (RHRN2) programme (2020 – 2025) in Uganda as part of the external mid-term review the RHRN2 Programme.
The Right Here Right Now (RHRN2) programme is a strategic partnership between Rutgers (lead), ARROW, AMPF, CHOICE for youth and sexuality, Reproductive Health Uganda and RNW Media. The programme runs from 2020 to 2025, taking place in 10 countries in Africa (Benin, Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Tunisia and Uganda) and Asia (Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal) and at a global level.
The RHRN2 programme has formulated the following four Long Term Outcomes (LTOs):
- LTO 1: Empowered young people make decisions about their sexuality, voice their needs and claim their rights.
- LTO 2: A critical mass reinforces positive norms and values regarding young people’s SRHR and gender justice.
- LTO 3: Governments adopt, implement and account for human rights-based policies and laws that enable young people’s SRHR and gender justice.
- LTO 4: Strengthened civil society for young people’s SRHR and gender justice.
Right Here Right Now enables young people in all their diversity to enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and rights in societies where there is equity and equality between genders in all aspects of life. The programme places young people at the forefront, and strives towards young people, especially girls, young women and young LGBTQI+ people being empowered to make decisions about their sexuality, voice their needs and claim their rights. The partnership boldly tackles taboos. RHRN2 advocates for the rights of marginalised groups, based on its robust experience, and because few others do. The programme lobbies governments to adopt and be accountable for inclusive human rights-based policies and laws which enable young people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender justice. RHRN2 calls on governments to give young people access to comprehensive sexuality education, information and youth-friendly services – including safe abortion – so they can make choices free from stigma, discrimination and violence.
The MTR of RHRN2 is led by two Netherlands-based consultancy organizations:
Wereld in Woorden Global Research and Reporting (WIW) and Results in Health (RiH), together named the ‘international evaluation team’.
