The Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development (APWLD) has announced an open call for applications from consultancy teams to conduct an external evaluation of its current Strategic Plan (2022–2026) and facilitate the development of its next Strategic Plan (2027–2031).

The assignment forms part of APWLD’s broader organisational reflection process aimed at assessing progress, identifying lessons learned, and shaping a participatory and movement-led strategy for the next phase of its work across the Asia Pacific region.

Strategic Review to Assess Five-Year Organisational Impact

The consultancy will support the Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development in conducting a comprehensive review of its strategic implementation over the 2022–2026 period.

The evaluation is expected to examine:

Achievements and progress against strategic objectives
Challenges encountered during implementation
Organisational learning and adaptation outcomes
Effectiveness of programme delivery approaches
Impact on feminist movements and partner networks

The findings will inform the organisation’s future direction, ensuring that the next strategic plan is grounded in evidence, inclusivity, and feminist principles.

Development of 2027–2031 Strategic Plan

Alongside the evaluation, the selected consultancy team will facilitate a participatory strategic planning process for APWLD’s next five-year cycle.

This phase will focus on shaping priorities that reflect the evolving needs of feminist movements across the region, while strengthening the organisation’s capacity to respond to legal, social, and political challenges affecting women’s rights.

The planning process will be guided by movement-based and participatory methodologies to ensure that the voices of grassroots organisations and feminist networks are central to decision-making.

Scope of Consultancy Work and Required Expertise

Due to the complexity of the assignment, APWLD is seeking a team of two to three consultants with complementary expertise.

The organisation has outlined that the consultancy team should demonstrate experience in the following areas:

External evaluation of programmes and organisations
Strategic planning and organisational development
Feminist and participatory facilitation methods
Organisational analysis and institutional learning
Movement-based approaches to advocacy and social change

The consultancy will require close collaboration with APWLD staff and stakeholders to ensure that the evaluation and planning process remains inclusive, transparent, and grounded in feminist values.

Application Requirements and Submission Process

Interested consultancy teams are invited to submit applications through the official online application process.

Applicants are required to provide:

CVs or professional profiles of all proposed consultants
Relevant work samples demonstrating experience in similar assignments
Documentation of expertise in evaluation and strategic planning
Additional materials as specified in the Terms of Reference

The organisation has encouraged applicants to carefully review the Terms of Reference before submitting their applications to ensure alignment with the scope of work and expected deliverables.

Deadline and Key Dates

The deadline for submission of applications has been set for 28 June 2026. Late submissions will not be considered.

Selected consultancy teams will be engaged to support both the evaluation of the current strategic cycle and the facilitation of the upcoming planning process for 2027–2031.

Strengthening Feminist Movement Strategy Across Asia Pacific

The initiative reflects APWLD’s ongoing commitment to strengthening feminist movements across the Asia Pacific region through evidence-based planning, collective reflection, and participatory governance.

As a leading regional feminist network, the Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development continues to support advocacy on women’s rights, legal reform, and social justice through collaboration with grassroots organisations and movement actors.

The strategic review process is expected to enhance organisational accountability, deepen movement engagement, and strengthen long-term impact across its programmes.

Building Participatory and Feminist Organisational Practice

The consultancy assignment underscores APWLD’s commitment to feminist organisational principles, including inclusivity, shared leadership, and participatory decision-making.

By embedding movement-led approaches into its strategic planning process, the organisation aims to ensure that its future direction remains responsive to the realities faced by women’s rights defenders and grassroots feminist groups across the region.

As APWLD prepares for its next strategic cycle, the evaluation and planning process is expected to play a critical role in shaping a more effective, accountable, and movement-centred organisational strategy.
