The goal of the project is to ensure that vulnerable refugee women including VAW and GBV survivors and those at-risk have strengthened access to protection services, capacities and resources that reflect multisectoral coordination and are gender responsive and survivor-centred in Moldova.

Through this Call for Proposal, UN Women intends to sign Partnership Agreements with civil society organizations/Consortium to act as Responsible Parties for initiatives that will contribute to provide increased access to livelihood opportunities, required access, skills, and partnerships in Moldova for at least 350 Ukrainian Refugee women and girls’ survivors of GBV and those at-risk.

UN Women Moldova is seeking to contract an organization/company or a Consortium of organizations/companies to fulfil the following suggested activities, but not limiting to:

2. Conduct trainings and skills development for 100 vulnerable women in preparation for their engagement in cash-for-work opportunities (in various areas according to the needs identified as a result of consultations with the beneficiaries);

3. Provide cash-for-work interventions (conditional and unconditional cash assistance), following CBI (cash-based intervention system and protocol), for up to 100 refugee women who have been affected by the crisis. Categories of beneficiaries shall be determined based on existing needs;

4. Provide small cash subsidies (e.g. reimbursement of expenses related to enrolment into the educational system etc.) to up to 200 refugee women to support childcare solutions and transportation;

5. Conduct networking events with the participation of multi-sectorial experts that will cover discussions and identify solutions for various impediments and issues that refugees face in relation with their integration into the society and enjoyment of their rights.
