Christian Aid Sierra Leone
Request for Technical and Financial Proposal to Undertake Baseline Study on the Women’s Land for Peace Project
Project Background
This project is grounded in deep gender-sensitive context analysis, including intersecting and compounding identity markers (age, socio-economic, disability, ethnicity?), to understand how women experience violence/discrimination differently. The project leverages GEWE capacity strengthening and creates structured catalytic pathways for women’s leadership in tackling cultural/legal gender discrimination that perpetuate women’s exclusion from decision-making, reinforcing the impact of land-related violence on marginalized women. Specific activities that advance women’s GEWE include ToT with women leaders on peacebuilding, land laws and advocacy and support to women’s networks on participation in NRM processes.
Purpose of the Baseline Study:
The purpose of this baseline study is to establish data for the indicators as benchmarks addressing existing gaps in women’s land rights and leadership participation, which will inform project implementation. It will help to compare current status of indicators against planned targets to assess the progress of the overall project.
Objective of the Baseline Study

- The study is expected to cover all the 4 districts (Kono, Kailahun, Tonkolili and Portloko) and 16 chiefdoms (4 per district) with fair sample representation of each.
