Context

LEED INITIATIVE
LEED Initiative is an international NGO based in Germany with a current MENA Head office in Tunisia and plans to expand soon in Africa, Central Asia and Europe.
LEED stands for LEADERSHIP, EMPOWERMENT, EMPLOYABILITY and DIVERSITY with the goal to contribute to women and youth empowerment by offering career perspectives in the technical, digital, and cultural industries. LEED follows a solution-oriented approach to combat youth unemployment and causes of migration worldwide, to strengthen local economic structures, to encourage women, especially in technical, digital
and cultural professions, and to help companies hire the talents and leaders of tomorrow. LEED takes an inclusive approach in doing its work by promoting diversity and Leaving No One Behind.

WOMENTUM project
LEED’s WOMENTUM NETWORK project works to reinforce the efforts of feminist entities in the MENA region by providing them with technical and capacity-building support. The project aims to significantly strengthen
young grassroots movements and established NGOs working for social, economic, and political equality for all genders. Through establishing a feminist network within the MENA region, partners will be able to collaborate, build stronger political argumentation chains, and improve their project implementation capacity, boosting their work on gender equality.

Objectives of the mission
In the framework of the WOMENTUM project that aims at empowering partner organizations in the region,one of the needs expressed by our partner organizations is to have a training on policy writing. The expected outcome is for the trainees to acquire good knowledge on policy writing. Trainees can successfully proceed to propose policy papers
for policy and system change in accordance with the causes their organizations work on. The trainees are expected to be able to design clear policy advocacy campaigns to inform and influence decision-makers on
gender-related themes.
