Time sensitive assignment: The selection of proposals is a very time sensitive process and will required the TC to follow very strict deadlines for each step of the process. Selected TC members will be informed of the exact timeline prior to their acceptance of the assignment. The assignment is compatible with other professional activities but does include intense periods of 2-3 weeks where an almost full-time commitment will be expected in order to meet the deadlines. Phase I: Concept Note Review – 40-50 roster members (April-May 2015)
Concept Notes will be assigned to each TC member based on their regional and/or thematic expertise. Each Concept Note will be evaluated by 2 TC members simultaneously. Time engagement required for Phase I: Applicants should expect to be fully engaged in Concept Note assessment for a 2-3 week period in addition to the virtual training/coordination sessions and time for feedback and troubleshooting via email.

The Phase II TC members will be selected among the Phase I TC members. There will be a total of 10 TC members for Phase II covering the 5 regions (2 per region). UN Women Country and Regional offices will provide technical qualitative comments to inform the evaluation process of the top scoring Concept Notes based on their knowledge of the country and regional context; and UN Women's Strategic Plans and priorities at Country and Regional levels. Phase II TC members are expected to take these comments into consideration while keeping their independent judgment when scoring the Concept Notes. Each Concept Note will be evaluated by the 2 Phase II TC members simultaneously. Time engagement required for Phase II: TC members selected for Phase II will be fully engaged in Concept Note review and ranking for a 2-3 week period in addition to the virtual training/coordination sessions and time for feedback and troubleshooting via email. Phase III: Full-fledged Proposal Review – invited roster members only (2 per region) (August-September 2015)
