Description

Westminster for Democracy (WFD) is seeking to procure a team of governance experts to provide ongoing support to BHC Islamabad between December 2025 and December 2026. The team should consist of a mix of international consultants with experience delivering 'Thinking and Working Politically' (TWP) approaches in multiple contexts, knowledge of FCDO, and local experts who bring a deep understanding of Pakistan's political environment and actors. The international experts will participate in up to 6 visits to Pakistan over the course of 13 months, in addition to providing ongoing remote support. The local experts will provide in-country assistance throughout this period. Support from the team will be delivered across four levels to: support Goal Teams delivering programmes and influencing policy around priority themes of economic growth, climate change and human development; ensure geographic coherence across focus Provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh; advise the senior management team as they shape the BHC portfolio and country strategy; and advance a learning agenda on the impact of this model of support to the FCDO
