Call for consultants -WeYouth Organization عودة إلى الفرص

WeYouth Organization is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political organization established in 2013 in Sfax. Over the past 12 years, the  organization has worked to promote youth autonomy, participation, and leadership in Tunisia, implementing more than 30 projects in collaboration with young people.
WeYouth operates in several strategic areas, including:
• Civic engagement
• Peacebuilding
• Gender equality and social inclusion
• Youth economic empowerment
• Education
The organization has built a large community across southern Tunisia, including  Gabès, Tataouine, Médenine, and Gafsa, and currently operates with approximately 15 staff members and 30 active members.
As the organization has grown, it has started structuring its internal governance and operations, but the Internal Bylaws, Governance Charter, and internal regulations must now adapt to changes in civil society, the community, and the operational context.

WeYouth has been a strategic partner of ActionAid Arab Region for four years. Through this collaboration, WeYouth implements the Youth Inclusion and Employment Programme, including the Ready for Tomorrow project, which equips young people with life skills, technical training, and entrepreneurial support to enhance employability and leadership.

About ActionAid- Arab Region :
ActionAid Arab Region (AAAR) is part of the ActionAid global Federation working to achieve social justice, gender equality and poverty eradication. Throughout the world, ActionAid works to strengthen the capacity and active agency of people living in poverty and exclusion, especially women, to assert their rights.

ActionAid Arab Region places strong emphasis on strengthening the capacities and independence of its partner organizations. As part of this commitment, ActionAid is supporting WeYouth in its process of becoming more structured, resilient, and institutionally sustainable.

WeYouth is expanding its programs and outreach, which requires clearer internal systems, stronger governance tools, and updated policy frameworks that ensure accountability, transparency, and alignment with legal and donor requirements. The organization operates through a hybrid model that brings together active members and volunteers with a team of paid staff, which creates a need for coherent structures that reflect this dual nature.

The purpose of this consultancy is to review, update, and consolidate WeYouth’s key governance and internal policy documents so they align with current organizational practices, Tunisian legislation, and international good practices. The consultant will also develop a concise, youth-friendly governance toolkit that incorporates safety and safeguarding principles and supports WeYouth in building a stronger, more autonomous institutional culture.
