Philippine Commission On Women Tender

Description 1. Rationale The Year 2025 Marks Significant Milestones In Gender Equality And Women Empowerment In The Philippines And Globally: ● The 50th Anniversary Of The Philippine Commission On Women (pcw); ● The 30th Anniversary Of The Beijing Platform For Action (bpfa); ● The 45th Year Of The Philippines' Signing Of The Convention On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Discrimination Against Women (cedaw); ● Three Decades Since The Introduction Of The Gender And Development (gad) Budget Policy Under The 1995 General Appropriations Act (ra 7845); And ● The Culmination Of The 30-year Philippine Plan For Gender-responsive Development (ppgd) 1995-2025. These Milestones Reaffirm The Country’s Long-standing Commitment To Advancing Women’s Rights And Promoting Inclusive Development. To Commemorate These Remarkable Anniversaries, As Well As To Continue Our National Journey Toward A “bagong Pilipinas,” The Upcoming Nwmc Will Be More Than Just A Celebration—it Will Be A Pivotal Moment To Reflect On Our Progress, While Also Setting The Stage For Further Transformation. With The Sub-theme "babae Sa Lahat Ng Sektor, Aangat Ang Bukas Sa Bagong Pilipinas," Under The 2023-2028 Recurring Nwmc Campaign Banner: We For Gender Equality And An Inclusive Society, The Event Aims To Spotlight The Inclusive Progress That Women From All Sectors Have Made, While Simultaneously Reinforcing The Need For Equitable Access To Opportunities, Resources, And The Full Recognition Of Women’s Rights. The Event Will Not Only Honor These Strides But Also Offer A Platform For Creating New Connections, Empowering Women, And Raising Awareness On Critical Issues Of Gender Equality. The Celebration's Kick-off Event On March 5, 2025, Will Serve As A Launchpad For These Aspirations. The Event Will Feature A Trade Fair Showcasing Products From Women-owned And Women-led Micro, Small, And Medium-sized Enterprises (msmes), As Well As Booths Offering Essential Services Such As Legal Consultation And Medical Support. Additionally, The Event Will Serve As A Platform For Several Key Initiatives—such As The Unveiling Of The Pcw’s 50th Anniversary Coffee Table Book And The Launch Of The First-ever State Of The Filipino Women Regional Report—each Requiring Intricate Planning And Coordination. Given The Complexity Of This Year’s Celebration, The Involvement Of Multiple Stakeholders, And The Diverse Activities Planned, The Need To Hire A Professional Event Organizer Is Critical. The 2025 Nwmc Is An Event Of National Importance, One That Will Bring Together Government Agencies, Local Government Units (lgus), Non-governmental Organizations (ngos), Civil Society Organizations (csos), Msmes, And Marginalized Communities. Coordinating Such A Large-scale, Multi-sectoral Event Requires Specialized Knowledge And Expertise In Logistics, Event Design, Stakeholder Management, And Seamless Execution. Thus, The Pcw Needs The Services Of An Event Organizer To Ensure That Every Aspect Of The Event—ranging From The Trade Fair To The Key Strategic Launches—is Carried Out In An Organized And Professional Manner. From Arranging Venue Logistics To Ensuring Smooth Transitions Between Activities, An Experienced Organizer Can Guarantee That Each Element Is Executed Flawlessly, Leaving A Lasting Impact On Participants And Guests Alike. With A Focus On Marginalized Sectors, The Event Must Prioritize Accessibility And Inclusivity, And A Skilled Event Organizer Will Ensure That These Principles Are Woven Into The Fabric Of The Celebration, Making It Meaningful For All Participants. As We Strive For A “bagong Pilipinas,” An Inclusive Society That Upholds The Dignity And Rights Of Every Woman, The Event Organizer Will Play A Key Role In Aligning The Nwmc With This Vision. Their Experience In Handling High-profile Events, Managing Diverse Stakeholders, And Executing Integrated Communication Strategies Will Be Invaluable In Delivering A Celebration That Reflects The Full Scope Of Our Aspirations And Collective Progress. Their Involvement Will Allow The Pcw And Its Partners To Focus On The Substantive Discussions And Initiatives That Will Define This Momentous Year, While Leaving The Event's Logistical And Organizational Complexities To The Experts. 2.
