Introduction and Background

The Defenders Coalition is the  national Coalition of Human Rights Defenders in Kenya. It is a national membership organization established in 2007 and registered under Kenyan law as a Trust. The Defenders Coalition works primarily for the protection of Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) in Kenya. Among others, the NCHRD-K strengthens capacities of HRDs to work more effectively, besides advocating for favourable legal, policy and institutional environments in order to reduce their vulnerability to the risk of persecution and or harm.

In 2019, the Defenders Coalition received project funding support from the Embassy of Norway for a two-year project titled Ni Mama. The project’s  expected effect on society (impact) is an improved operating space for Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) to promote human rights, protest injustices and demand good governance in a safe and secure environment. The Expected outcomes are;

1. Affirmative action on WHRDs enhanced through advocacy and collaboration, and their work recognized
2. Evidence based advocacy for WHRDs and their work enhanced,
3. Improved safety for WHRDs and
4. Defenders Coalition consolidates itself as a relevant, effective and sustainable organization.

An end term review of the project focusing on results achieved by the project is now due. It is on this basis that the Defenders Coalition is seeking the services of a consultant/consulting firm to undertake a project review of the Ni Mama project.
