Call for Proposals to implement Youth-Led Social Mobilization Campaign in Morocco

Call for Proposals to implement Youth-Led Social Mobilization Campaign in Morocco

The UN Women has launched a call for proposals to identify a local implementing youth-led National Youth CSO or a women’s CSO with leverage on young people in Morocco to roll out the youth-led social mobilization campaign through mobilizing youth.

The CSO should mobilize youth through constant and massive calls for action to young men and women to challenge discriminatory gender norms and promote the involvement of men and boys in caregiving and household responsibilities.

Objective

• Mustering adequate levels of social mobilization to reduce the gender gap in time spent on unpaid care by 60 minutes in among the target audiences of the social mobilization campaign in each of the three countries (Egypt, Morocco and Jordan), especially through effectively engaging men and boys to equally participate in household responsibilities, accordingly, increasing participation of women in the paid workforce. This will be achieved through a specific call for action of the social mobilization campaign to increase the involvement of young men in unpaid care and household responsibilities. The campaign will be implemented in the Arab States region, and it will require that the CSO coordinates with UN Women, the Youth Advisory Group, and a regional communications agency (recruited by UN Women Regional Office for the Arab States) to implement the activities in Morocco.
