1. Background
The Youth Participation and Employment (YPE) programme, led by Oxfam IBIS (Denmark) began in 2017, based on a theory of change that affirms if youth participation and employment opportunities are increased, it will lead to more employment. In addition, youth will be able to better engage in society and become change agents and entrepreneurs. This idea drives programming in 4 countries: Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, and on a regional level. Since 2018, each country has contracted and begun implementation with local partners to deliver opportunities to youth to improve preparedness and access to job markets, including through entrepreneurial development.
Ultimately, the YPE programme aims to create employment opportunities in the framework of the Oxfam regional strategy with a focus on inequality, marginalized groups, gender and youth participation as integral to labour market development. The YPE programme is implemented in close cooperation between Oxfam country offices, the Oxfam regional platform and with technical and administrative support from Oxfam affiliates related to the region. A programme management unit (PMU) hosted by Oxfam IBIS is responsible for overall programme quality and for the implementation of the YPE programme’s regional component.
Advocacy and policy influencing are key working areas that directly contribute to addressing the YPE theory of change. The third outcome of the program outline that “advocacy and dialogue between youth, public and private institutions and businesses enhanced through partnerships”. Several current YPE partners are working to address this outcome through multilabel approaches; however, synergies and coordination are sometimes missed across partners as well as Oxfam advocacy and influencing agenda.
During consultations with YPE country teams, the need for partners capacity building support on advocacy and policy influencing was highlighted. Moreover, an advocacy plan was designed to strengthen the advocacy workstream on the regional level.
In this context, YPE PMU is looking for a consultant to support YPE in strengthening partners advocacy and influencing agenda and foster linkages between Oxfam and partners. This ToR details the work foreseen and ask for proposals of qualified service providers.

3. Scope of work and methodology
The capacity building program will be divided into three main phases, as illustrated below. First, a needs assessment of partners and country teams; second, a regional workshop for stakeholders involved in advocacy work in the employment sector; and third a national training for alliance building and setting up YPE advocacy roadmap and advocacy strategy in each country.
Phase 1: Needs Assessment
Country teams consultation: During this phase, coordination meetings will be held with Oxfam's Advocacy and Policy teams in the country offices as well as YPE coordinators to agree on the main discussion points and rationale of the proposed capacity building process. In addition, agree on the design of the capacity building needs assessment tool.
Participant preparation: Prior to the commencement of the regional workshop, each partner will need to complete a brief needs assessment exercise. The needs assessment will identify key learning gaps to be addressed during the training and the priority topics of YPE partners that should be tackled in the regional workshop. It is vital to gather this information and review it along with the needs expressed by the program coordinators and advocacy/influencing teams.
Training and workshops agenda: According to the needs assessment and consultation with country teams (CTs), the facilitator will design the workshop agenda with close coordination with the PMU team.The facilitator will lead the needs assessment process with support from the PMU team (CB advisor and Advocacy advisor).
Phase 2: Three-days regional workshop on advocacy and policy influencing
For the second phase, a three-day regional workshop will be organised based on the findings of the country consultation and partners needs assessment. The workshop will be a fora for cross partners exchange and interactive discussions and activities to link partners advocacy activities to Oxfam advocacy agenda and vice versa.
The workshop will be facilitated by the consultant, that will facilitate an interactive discussion between all involved stakeholders. Only partners who are currently contributing to the advocacy and influencing activities will be invited to this workshop. In addition, YPE programme coordinators, as well as policy influencing advisors, will also be present. By the end of the workshop, partners and CTs should agree on linkages and prospects of joint advocacy initiatives.
Phase 3: Three days national workshop on advocacy and policy influencing
For the third phase, a workshop/training will be organised in each of the four countries. The main aim of this workshop will be linking all YPE partners, in each country, to the current advocacy and policy influencing agenda/roadmap; even partners who are not currently involved in any advocacy interventions. The training agenda will be informed by the needs assessment findings and identified learning gaps. As a result of this workshop, a consolidated advocacy roadmap for YPE is drafted and linked to Oxfam’s national advocacy and influencing strategy. Moreover, explore potential prospects for an advocacy network in each country on youth and employment issues.
Note: the rational and sequence of phase 2 and 3 will be finalised based on discussions with the consultant and country teams following the needs assessment phase.
