In 2025, the Consultant shall perform the following additional services and deliveries: Greater emphasis will be placed on the delivery of services linked to enhancing the dialogue on rights between duty bearers and rights holders especially youth (output 1.3).

These activities will be implemented by DIHR, DIGNITY, KVINFO, Ahel and Munathara where specific activities will be developed, some of these jointly with local partners and youth media, based on the interest in and possibilities for - cooperation between the organizations working under the HRIC. In 2026, the Consultant shall perform the following additional services and deliveries: Greater emphasis will be placed on the delivery of services linked to enhancing the dialogue on rights between duty bearers and rights holders especially youth (output 1.3). The additional services and deliveries are: • Activities with a focus on prevention of technology-facilitated violence against women in Tunisia, Jordan, Morocco and possibly Egypt. These activities will be implemented by DIGNITY, KVINFO, Ahel and Munathara. Specific activities will be developed, some of these jointly with local partners and youth media, based on the interest in,and possibilities for, cooperation between the organizations working under the HRIC.

These modifications do not alter the Services to be performed and the deliverables under Outcome 3 (they will only be organised differently).
