More information about the Bali Process is available at www.baliprocess.net. The RSO was established in 2012 to facilitate the operationalisation of the Regional Cooperation Framework (RCF) to reduce irregular migration in the Asia and Pacific region. The RSO aims to support and strengthen practical cooperation on refugee protection and international migration, including human trafficking and people smuggling, and other components of migration management in the region. The RSO is co-managed by the Australian and Indonesian Governments. More information is available at www.rso.baliprocess.net. Technical consultancy to support the development of practical guidance and tools for Bali Process Member States (BPMS) on safe, ethical, and trauma-informed engagement with persons with lived experience of migration, trafficking, people smuggling, and related forms of exploitation. There is increasing global recognition that people with lived experience play a critical role in shaping policies and programmes that affect them. However, across the Asia–Pacific region, engagement with persons with lived experience often remains ad hoc, inconsistently safeguarded, and insufficiently operationalised. The Regional Support Office of the Bali Process (RSO) is developing a Lived Experience Engagement Model (LEEM) to address this gap. As a first phase, the RSO is establishing an internal framework and orientation to ensure institutional readiness and consistent practice. Building on this internal foundation, the second phase focuses on developing Bali Process Member State guidance and tools that can be applied in diverse national contexts. The consultant will support this second phase by conducting structured consultations, engaging people with lived experience in an ethical and trauma-informed manner, and drafting practical, user-oriented guidance and tools for Bali Process Member States.
