UNDP through its Access to Justice, Security and Human Rights Strengthening programme is seeking competent and reputable media organizations including Community Based Radios, to send proposals to provide civic awareness and education on the CMP with the aim of addressing the information gap faced by women, youth, displaced people and communities in Central, Western, and Eastern Equatoria, in Lakes, Upper Nile, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Jonglei, Unity and Warrap. The sensitization programme should convey the general phases of the CMP, mention key contentious issues and increasepublic awareness for women, youth, displaced people and communities to prepare them to participate meaningfully. Each proposal should cover no more than three states and administrative areas, and it will be considered and implemented in coordination with other successful proposals under this Call for Proposals and a complementary Call for Proposals from the CSOs and CBOs.
