CONSULTANCY OPPORTUNITY - We continue to seek a consultant to support GNDR develop content for a women's leadership mentoring programme, and looking for someone to start as soon as possible. Please email elise....@gndr.org with your CV and cover letter suggesting how you might take on the following task if you are interested and able to support us:
One of the major barriers to risk-informed development, which interconnects with all other drivers of risk, is gender inequality. Unless development is systematically gender transformative, we will see disasters placing women into intractable cycles of poverty. GNDR has identified gender inequality as one of our six risk drivers to prioritise in our new strategy. In the next five years, this means us standing together to bring about a shift from women being viewed as a homogenous group with a ‘one size fits all’ approach to reducing their risk, to developing distinct ways of building resilience relevant to the diverse contexts and factors which women are experiencing, including age, culture, class, caste, and more.
As the Secretariat of the GNDR, we recognise that we need to look inwardly at how we operate to ensure we can facilitate gender transformation across the network. We are therefore looking for a consultant to assess our current practices and help us take initial steps to become more gender transformative.
Objectives
- Develop the content of the six modules aligned with the Gender Transformative Leadership document, to be delivered in a virtual format to audiences from America, Africa and Asia (English). All modules should be adapted to the Disaster Risk Reduction approach.
- Develop a toolkit for each module (please see methodology outline below), that contains practical exercises to be implemented in different contexts where GNDR is working.
- Utilise and strengthen existing monitoring and evaluation tools to measure and track the progress of each participant during the process of training - initial use of tools will contribute to the baseline.
Consultant profile
- Demonstrable expertise on gender and inclusion within the development, disasters or adaptation fields
- Experience of reviewing gender policies
- Demonstrable expertise developing content and materials adapted for adult learning in virtual environment
Assignment period
This consultancy is expected to take approximately 25 days. On selection, the consultant will commit to a detailed timeline for the evaluation.
