DESCRIPTION
|
|
CARE seeks a Senior Component Leader to contribute
technical expertise to a USAID-funded, multi-year project that supports
gender equality and female empowerment in addressing the social, political,
and economic challenges Jordanian women and girls encounter. This goal
– and its associated objectives, intermediate results, tasks, and activities
– are predicated on USAID’s definition of gender equality, elucidated in the
Agency’s Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy.
This project’s goal, reflecting USAID/Jordan’s Special
Development Objective for gender equality and female empowerment, is manifest
in three components:
The first component relates to expanding social dialogue
on gender equality. The Senior Component Leader will manage
results-based delivery of this component by (i) facilitating a wide‐range of
community dialogue activities and events; (ii) integrating gender‐sensitive
messages in implementing partner events/materials; and (iii) increasing
awareness and outreach on women’s rights and gender equality.
The second pertains to strengthening advocacy for female
empowerment. The Senior Component Leader will ensure this is achieved
by i) building the capacity of Government of Jordan (GOJ) and
non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) to strengthen mainstreaming of
gender‐equality principles; (ii) strengthening the capacity of USAID and
implementing partners to identify and reduce gender‐based gaps between males
and females as an outcome of their programs; (iii) supporting advocacy
efforts for policy and legislative reforms; and (iv) conducting in‐depth
research and building the capacity for research.
The third emphasizes improving services for women and
girls, especially for women, such as victims of GBV, rural women and women
with disabilities, who experience barriers to accessing services. This
component will be achieved principally through the integration of USAID
Gender Program activities into other programs and projects across USAID’s
portfolio.
Direct program implementation under this solicitation will
focus mainly on components one and two. Substantial parts of component three
will be achieved through other USAID activities and interventions.
The Senior Component Leader plays a critical role in
implementing activities under the three components. The ideal candidate
will have experience in disemminating gender-transformative messages, while
working on similar advocacy projects with USAID, and assisting service
providers to more effectively target their business (or government) products and
services to the diverse demands women and girls may have.
