Activists and leaders to enhance their effectiveness and safety while carrying out community-based activism. 1.1 Background Information on Plan International The Liberia Women Empowerment Project (LWEP) is a strategic initiative aimed at addressing harmful social norms that drive gender inequality, particularly those contributing to gender-based violence (GBV), with a focus on intimate partner violence. The project seeks to break down long-standing barriers to gender equality while enhancing women’s access to improved livelihood opportunities. The project Component 1a focuses on strengthening the capacity of community actors, including SASA! activists, local leaders, and partner institutions to promote gender equality and prevent GBV. The SASA! approach is a community mobilization strategy aimed at preventing gender-based violence (GBV) and promoting gender equality. Activists and community leaders play a major role in engaging communities, facilitating dialogues, and leading behavior change initiatives. To ensure effective and consistent field engagement, especially under varying weather and terrain conditions, there is a need to equip them with appropriate protective and identification materials. As the Lead Service Provider for LWEP, PIL supports SASA! activists and community leaders in implementing gender-transformative activities through community-based engagement. These activities often require movement across communities under varying weather and environmental conditions. To ensure that activists and leaders are safe, visible, and effective in their roles, PIL-LWEP intends to procure essential safety gear (raincoat, boots, SASA! T-shirt, backpack) for the effective implementation of activism activities. 1.2 The objective of the activities is as follows: To support activists and leaders with appropriate gear for all-weather community engagement To improve visibility and identification of SASA!
