In 2014, UN Women launched the 3-year regional project Promoting Gender Responsive Policies in South East Europe and Republic of Moldova financed by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The project is a direct continuation of the above referenced phase I, and its overall goal is to contribute to the implementation of gender equality commitments as enshrined in various international human rights documents including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, CEDAW, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, EU Equality Directives, and national laws and strategies on gender equality in South East Europe (with particular focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, FYR Macedonia and Republic of Moldova).
Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) has been identified as an important tool for advancing gender equality in key national documents, in accordance with the existing Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) national policy documents on social inclusion and gender equality. In accordance with government priorities stated in the national and local plans and strategies, UN Women has been supporting government efforts in using GRB as a tool to advance gender equality and ensure that women’s and men needs are incorporated in policies and budgets. The expected long-term result of these initiatives is the incorporation of gender equality principles, perspectives and priorities not only in policy making, but also in budgeting at national and local level, leading to greater accountability and transparency of public finances. At the same time, technical assistance was provided to non-governmental organizations and gender experts in developing and using GRB as a tool for carrying out different analyses such as piloting costing studies, monitoring existing sectorial policies and budgets from gender perspective and advocate for policy change.

EVALUATION OF OFFERS
UN Women applies a fair and transparent selection process that takes into account both the technical qualification of potential consultants as well as the financial proposals submitted in support of consultant applications. Candidate applications will be evaluated using a cumulative analysis method taking into consideration the combination of applicant qualifications and financial proposal. The contract will be awarded to the individual consultant whose offer has been evaluated and determined as:
· responsive/compliant/acceptable, and
· having received the highest score out of below defined technical, interview and financial criteria.
Only candidates obtaining a minimum of 50 points in the technical evaluation will be considered for the consultancy. The maximum number of points assigned to the financial proposal will be allocated to the lowest price proposal among those candidates who have passed the 50 points threshold. All other price proposals receive points in inverse proportion.
Criteria:
Technical Evaluation – documents based (80%), out of which:
1. relevant education 20%
2. experience in public administration reform and GRB introduction 20%
3. previous experience in working with international organisations in BiH on GRB 20%
4. previous experience in working with municipalities in BiH 20%
Financial Evaluation (20%)
Evaluation of submitted financial offers will be done based on the following formula: S = Fmin / F * 20
S – score received on financial evaluation;
Fmin – the lowest financial offer out of all the submitted offers qualified over the technical evaluation round;
F – financial offer under the consideration.
Please note that travel costs should be covered by the Consultant. The Consultant is to visit each municipality at least five times during assignment, and to participate in one BiH Regional GRB Exchange Experiences event (location to be determined).
Qualified women and men and members of minorities are encouraged to apply. UN Women applies fair and transparent selection process that would take into account the competencies/skills of the applicants as well as their financial proposals.
Due to large number of applications we receive, we are able to inform only the successful candidates about the outcome or status of the selection process.
UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.
