NOVACT launches call for the external final evaluation of the HARAKA project in Tunisia

A learning-focused evaluation centred on feminist processes, participation and sustainability in a shrinking civic space.

NOVACT has opened a call for an external final evaluation of the HARAKA project, Advancing women’s rights in Tunisia. The evaluation is conceived not only as an accountability exercise, but as a deep learning process aimed at analysing feminist practices, collective dynamics and long-term sustainability.

Implemented in partnership with Tunisian feminist organisations ATFD and Joussour, HARAKA has worked to strengthen feminist leadership, decentralised organising and protection mechanisms for women human rights defenders in a context of democratic backsliding and increasing attacks on civic space.

The evaluation will focus on:

  • Feminist processes and methodologies rather than purely quantitative results
  • Participation, ownership and sustainability of collective spaces
  • Lessons learned, good practices and operational recommendations
  • The mapping of regional feminist allies as a strategic tool for future interventions
  • Special attention will be given to intergenerational dialogue, protection strategies and the consolidation of a critical, articulated feminist civic space.

NOVACT invites experienced evaluators or evaluation teams with:

  • A strong background in gender, human rights and feminist movements
  • Proven experience in participatory and learning-oriented evaluations
  • Knowledge of the Tunisian or North African context

The Terms of Reference are available in Spanish and French.

Deadline for submissions: 1 March 2026 (20:00, Tunis time)
