Consultancy for the development and facilitation of a hybrid course for the prevention of gender-based violence in adolescents linked to sport

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), in coordination with the National Institute of Women (Inmujeres), the National Sports Secretariat (SND) and the Uruguayan research team, is calling on specialized consulting firms to submit proposals to design, develop, digitize and implement a hybrid training program for the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV) aimed at adolescents linked to sports clubs.

1. Objectives and technical scope

Hybrid pedagogical intervention: Design and implement a training program for approximately 1,200 adolescents (treatment group), combining two face-to-face days of reflection (2 to 3 hours) with an interactive virtual component of 6 to 9 weeks (mobile modules of 10 to 15 minutes).

Training for coaches and referents: Develop a brief virtual training for coaches and auxiliary staff of the clubs, providing awareness tools and guidelines for action to accompany possible situations of violence.

Dissemination materials and control group: Produce a short presentation video, an editable interactive template on sports well-being and facilitate an alternative face-to-face day (on healthy habits or nutrition, without GBV content) for 1,200 adolescents in the control group.

2. Digital integration and operational facilitation

Digital platform and gamification: Operationalize content on a web platform or application (e.g. WhatsApp or Instagram) integrating playful elements (gamification) and ensuring the generation of credentials and the traceability of individual progress indicators.

Accompaniment and incentives: Facilitate face-to-face start and end days, carry out weekly remote monitoring through reminders and manage the purchase and delivery of collective incentives (at least 3% of the value of the contract, such as clothing or sports equipment) for participants.

3. Coordination and rigour in impact assessment

Preservation of the experimental design: Work in constant coordination with the evaluation firm and the research team, respecting random assignment, avoiding contamination between study groups and refraining from accessing or manipulating impact surveys.

Ethical management and data: Enable access to the course only to participants with verified consent/assent, export periodic progress metrics and collaborate in the adaptation of inputs for the Ethics Committee.
