Request for Proposal: IW-RFP-07 – COVID-19 Influencing Gender Norms Campaign
Background / Overview
Abt Associates Pty Ltd (ACN 091591294) is managing Investing in Women (IW), an Initiative of the Australian Government Department, on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT, as the Client). Launched in 2016, IW promotes women’s economic empowerment by redressing socio-cultural barriers to women’s full economic participation, whether in leadership positions, access to capital, labour force participation, or workplace equality. From its regional base in the Philippines, IW also operates in Indonesia, Vietnam, and – to a certain extent – Myanmar.
As part of its work in Influencing Gender Norms, IW is already working with partner organizations in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Through the existing partnerships, and two new partnerships sought through this RFP, IW aims to create a diverse network of local voices and influencers undertake impactful campaigns on positively shifting gender norms among urban millennials and within formal sector workplaces.
Objective
IW is seeking to develop partnership arrangements with organizations active in Indonesia and/ or Vietnam to implement creative social media campaigns to positively influence specific gender norms among targeted urban millennials in Indonesia and Vietnam in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Engagement Deliverables
The COVID-19 Influencing Gender Norms Campaigns will promote positive models of behaviour in terms of men sharing domestic work and women’s career choices among urban millennial populations. The campaigns will be informed by market or audience research that explores the latest situation regarding specific gendered norms, particularly identifying areas of ‘positive deviance’ that have been compelled by the pandemic. Campaigns will measure prevailing attitudes, perceptions and practice at baseline, during implementation and at conclusion. Campaigns will run from 12 to 22 months.
Approach to Market
