Terms of Reference (ToR) - The Canopy Project (Phase 1)

• Background of the Canopy Project
  
  

Justdiggit Foundation (JDI) is committed to becoming a more equitable, inclusive, and self-aware

organisation. In recent years, there has been growing recognition - both internally and externally -

of the need to critically examine how colonial histories and structures may still shape our

operations, relationships, growth, and narratives. JDI’s management has prioritized decolonisation

as a key pillar in its 2024 – 2040 strategic plan.

This ToR defines the objectives and scope of Phase1 of this project.

• Objective of the assignment
  
  

Phase 1 entails employee sensitisation of the decolonisation theme(s) and identification of colonial

legacies within the organisation that need to be addressed to make JDI a great place to work and

strengthen its position within the sector. This phase will aid in developing the scope of the project.

Internally, the decolonisation work has been named the Canopy Project to signify protection,

interconnectivity, diversity, support, growth, dependency, teams, and dynamism. The Canopy

Project name also helps diffuse negative emotions that come from the term decolonisation and it

relates to Justdiggit’s environmental work.

• Assignment deliverables
  
  

Phase 1 will require discussions with individuals and/or small groups and presentations of

decolonisation theme(s) to the whole organisation to increase awareness and understanding of

the topic. Additionally, the areas that need to be addressed should be collected, documented, and

used to inform the scope of the project and implementable activities in phase 2. The consultant

will be supported by a cross-cultural working group. We anticipate Phase 1 to take up 6 – 12

Months. Specific Deliverables Are

• Employee sensitisation information package, strategy, and work plan,
• Documentation of sensitisation session outcomes and themes,
• Development of a detailed and implementable 2–3-year project scope and plan, which will
  
  

be phase 2 of the project.

• Required expertise and skills
  
  

The consultant should demonstrate the following expertise.

• Proven expertise on decolonisation of NGOs,
• Experience in setting up and implementing sensitisation activities,
• Work experience in working/with an international organisation with offices and teams in
  
  

Africa and Europe,

• Analytical, reporting, and great communication skills.
  
  

How to apply
