Context
Since 2018, the Youth Empowerment Society (YES) Association has been implementing the “Get Heard” project, which aims to break the silence and fear experienced by women and amplify their struggles against gender-based violence.
Although the project has successfully engaged women from different regions through awareness-raising sessions and storytelling workshops—including digital storytelling through podcasts—the sustainability of its activities has been compromised by limited and irregular funding.
As part of the development and improvement of the “Get Heard” project, and with the financial support of the Paris Peace Forum Scale-up Program, YES is seeking to recruit a mapping expert. The purpose of this mission is to identify potential partners and donors, both in Morocco and abroad, whose objectives align with the mission and scope of the project, in order to ensure its continuity and growth.
Presentation of YES
The Youth Empowerment Society (YES) Association was founded in 2017. Its work is primarily focused on youth empowerment by offering learning opportunities, strengthening capacities, and establishing communication channels between young people and local and international organizations.
Objective of the Mission
The main objective is to recruit an experienced expert to develop a comprehensive mapping of potential donors and partners capable of providing financial and/or technical support to the “Get Heard” project. This work will provide YES with a strategic engagement plan to secure long-term, sustainable funding, enabling the project to continue its activities and positively impact more victims of gender-based violence.
The expert will be responsible for:
Reviewing the history, objectives, and past fundraising efforts of the “Get Heard” project.
Identifying potential donors, partners, and granting institutions at the local, national, and international levels.
Mapping opportunities in the fields of gender-based violence and women’s empowerment.
Providing a structured database of potential donors and partners, including eligibility criteria, application processes, deadlines, and contact information.

Facilitating a training session for the YES team on follow-up and engagement strategies based on the mapping results.
