Application - International Advisory Committee to the Power of Pride Program
Terms of Reference
Background
The Power of Pride Alliance is a consortium of three organisations, ILGA Asia, Pan-Africa ILGA and COC Netherlands, that has been invited to enter into a Strategic Partnership with the Dutch government for the next five years (2021 - 2025). The main aim of the program is WORKING TOWARDS DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE SOCIETIES WHERE LGBTI PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. This is based on a Theory of Change developed after broad consultations in the movement. The program will support LGBTI groups, initiatives and organisations in the Asian and African regions.
Our vision on working with local organisations is closely linked to our goal of ensuring that LGBTI can participate to their full potential. Consequently, LGBTI and their organisations play a central role in the shaping of our program. We work inside-out, supporting LGBTI CBOs in their efforts to bring about change from within their own communities. We aim to transform asymmetric power relations and challenge systemic exclusion, discrimination and oppression. In line with that the Alliance is setting up an International Advisory Committee and inviting candidates from the PAI and ILGA-Asia regions to help us shaping and implementing our program in line with those principles.
Mandate
The international advisory committee (IAC) will be part of the governance structure of the Power of Pride alliance and the main body advising the alliance on planning, implementation and decision-making processes of the program. The IAC will maintain an overview on strategic governance processes of the alliance and ensure that the interventions and ways of working of the alliance are in line with their core working principles as formulated in the Vision document. The IAC applies their knowledge and experience to inform the alliance about the main trends, gaps and needs in the broader LGBTI movement. The IAC can give solicited and unsolicited (open) advice, which must be considered by the Alliance members according to the IACs own Rules of Procedures.
Deadline
If you are interested in contributing to the International Advisory Committee and play a role in the implementation of an international LGBTI program, please submit your candidacy by 1 September the latest by filling out the questionnaire. Make sure to address the criteria as mentioned above.
