Call for Expression of Interest: Stocktaking of the IASC Guidelines on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action. 

We are looking for a consultant or group of consultants for a comprehensive stocktake of the 2019 published IASC Guidelines on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action.  

The LNOB project, on behalf of the global Disability Reference Group, is commissioning a comprehensive stocktake of the 2019 published IASC Guidelines on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action. This stocktake shall be conducted by highly qualified consultants or a consultancy team with proven expertise in disability inclusion, humanitarian action, and rights-based approaches. 

Given the humanitarian reset and increasing resource constraints, this stocktake aims to understand what essential efforts will be required in the next years to ensure persons with disabilities are reached by humanitarian responses and their needs met, how remaining gaps in disability inclusion can be addressed, what role different actors, including Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) can play therein, and how OPDs can effectively contribute to and guide decision-making processes related to persons with disabilities in humanitarian responses. 

The outcome will support operational actors to close remaining gaps and identify key priorities to reach the most at risk in a time of major shifts, including resource constraints and simplification of the humanitarian system. Given the focus in the humanitarian reset in localization, this stocktake will include particular focus on the role of local actors.  

Further information on the background and all details of this call can be found in the Request for Expression of Interest as an accessible word document and a PDF. This call for expression of interest is part of a restricted tender with open competition. All bids will be evaluated based on predefined criteria. 

All questions regarding this tender must be submitted by 21 January 2026, 10:00 CET to the contact addresses indicated in the Request for Expression of Interest. 

Deadline for expressions of interest is 25 January 2026, 9:00 CET by email to tender@deutschland.hi.org.
