Request for Proposal (RFP): Housing Impact Survey

Terms of Reference (ToR)

1. Background

Habitat for Humanity Nepal (Habitat Nepal) is an international non-governmental organization that is driven by the vision that everyone deserves a decent place to live. In Nepal, we address housing needs of low-income families through our partnership with homeowners, duty bearers, civil society, financial institutions, academia and relevant stakeholders.  The organization serves people, families and communities that are at the bottom of the pyramid, by promoting greener, affordable and disaster resilient solutions and technologies for safe housing construction, advocating for land tenure security and joint land titles, and empowering communities at the risk of climate related disasters to apply local knowledge and practices for nature-based solutions. Through decent and adequate housing, we support families build strength, stability, and self-reliance.

Based on our analysis of the context in Nepal, we pay particular attention to gender equity and social inclusion in all our work. Responding to the root causes of inequity in the housing ecosystem, Habitat Nepal aims to support people – especially women - to thrive through housing by applying a people-centred approach (i.e., putting people and their capabilities, vulnerabilities, voices and influence) at the centre of its work and partnering with people, the public and private sectors to reduce inequities in the housing ecosystem by building the capacity and agencies of vulnerable people, particularly women, facilitating the public and private sectors and leading evidence generation, awareness raising, and advocacy to ensure more people live in adequate, affordable, and sustainable housing leading to thriving people and communities living with dignity, security and resilience within a stronger, more equitable housing ecosystem.
