Context

The Mixed Migration Centre (MMC) is a leading source of high-quality, independent data, information, research and analysis on mixed migration. The MMC is part of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), an international non-governmental organization. MMC’s flagship data collection project, 4Mi, provides regular, standardized, quantitative and globalized primary data on mixed migration flows, including data on individual profiles, migration factors, means of travel, travel conditions, smuggler economics, aspirations and destination choices. 4Mi is currently operational in West, North and East Africa, Asia, Central America and Europe (Italy and Greece), and carries out over 10,000 interviews a year, which are analyzed and published in various research reports, briefing papers and 4Mi snapshots.

MMC in West and North Africa is implementing the project “Make them count! Supporting civil society action to improve refugees’ and migrants’ livelihoods in Sousse, Tunisia” in partnership with the University of Edinburgh and the Tunisian Association Awledna (Awledna). The project is funded by the Maghreb Action on Displacement and Rights (MADAR) network, which aims to improve the humanitarian protection of vulnerable and displaced people in conflict situations in the central Maghreb region (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia).

MADAR facilitates research collaborations and commissions research projects drawing on the regional expertise of British and North African researchers in the arts, humanities, social sciences and politics. The project is being implemented in partnership with a British university, the University of Edinburgh; a Tunisian civil society association, Association Tunisienne Awledna in Sousse; and MMC.

The project “Make them count! Supporting civil society action to improve the livelihoods of refugees and migrants in Sousse, Tunisia” aims to produce an evidence base on the experiences of refugees and migrants in Sousse and to support Awledna to use this evidence base to secure funding for long-term livelihood support, among other objectives.

As part of the project, MMC is to contract a professional consultant to support Awledna in consolidating their fundraising strategy in line with the priorities of the municipality of Sousse and the needs identified in the data collected by the University of Edinburgh and the MMC.

Objectives of the consultancy assignment

The objective of the consultancy assignment is to support the refinement of Awledna’s fundraising strategy, and, in consultation with Awledna and the other project partners (MMC and the University of Edinburgh), to develop a concept note that reflects Awledna’s values, approach, experiences, and skills and that can be used in the organization’s fundraising efforts. This will include:

  • Consultations with Awledna on the organization’s existing fundraising strategy, including their priorities, skills, areas of influence, and long-term aspirations and objectives, which include the creation of a permanent refugee and migrant reception center in Erriadh, Sousse; 
  • Building Awledna’s capacity to develop a long-term fundraising strategy and use data to inform this strategy, including identifying potential funders to approach at the final workshop in January 2024 after the concept note has been finalized;
  • A mapping of the initiatives, complementary projects and priorities of the municipality of Sousse to feed the development of the concept note;
  • Development and production of a 10-page concept note detailing Awledna’s long-term strategy and planning, based on the qualitative and quantitative data collected during the project, for use in relations with potential donors; 
  • Direct participation in the project workshop in September 2023 to gather relevant information for the concept note.
