Title: Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment in the Workplace – Development and Role out of training programme for Ministry of Labour and Social Security
1. Introduction and background
Funded by the European Union, the Natwampane Programme aims to reduce levels of Gender-based Violence (GBV) in Luapula and Northern Provinces. Although the focus is on these two provinces, the programme also has a national focus, supporting Gender Division in policy and system building and strengthening coordination within the provinces as well as at the national level.
The Natwampane Programme is implemented by 5 partners – Norwegian Church Aid, BBC Media Action, Childline / Lifeline, World Vision and GIZ. These five partners have independent contracts with the European Union and specific objectives and deliverables. However, when combined, the objectives and deliverables add up to a comprehensive, multi-sectoral GBV programme, that focuses on prevention and response, as well as raising awareness of community members on the laws of Zambia as they relate to GBV and to encourage survivors and at-risk women and girls, and potentially men and boys, to report and seek help.
The following terms of reference fall within the component of the programme implemented by GIZ. GIZ’s role, as part of this project, “Support to the Zambian Government to Strengthen its Institutional Capacity and Multi-Sectoral coordination concerning Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV)”, is to:

provide capacity development and institutional strengthening of seven[1] Lines Ministries, whose mandates include aspects of SGBV prevention and response and who are critical actors in the sector;
strengthen multi-sectoral coordination by these Line Ministries;
strengthen coordination within Natwampane and with other SGBV prevention and response programmes funded by other cooperating partners, with the aim to maximise impact, and avoid duplication.

As part of its Technical Assistance, GIZ is supporting the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MLSS) to develop and roll out a training package for Labour Inspectors on how to identify, talk about and respond to allegations of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment in the workplace.
