Background
UN Women ROAS together with ILO ROAS are jointly implementing a Programme on Promoting Productive Employment and Decent Work for women in Egypt, Palestine and Jordan. Strategies of the joint initiative include promoting equitable labour market related laws and policies; engaging public, private and community actors with attention to involving men; and reducing the unequal burden of unpaid care work. The programme is working at three levels, macro, meso and micro, reflected in three outcomes:
I: Gender responsive labour laws and related policies in place and effective
II: A gender responsive private sector that attracts, retains and promotes women is supported
III: Gender stereotypes about women and men’s responsibilities concerning unpaid care and household work are challenged
A key focus of the regional joint programme is to (a) foster learning among partner organizations and other stakeholders, and (b) enhance exposure and replication of successful and scalable interventions of the programme. A regional learning document will be developed this year, to be presented during a large learning event with key stakeholders.
Objective of the Assignment:
The expert consultant is expected to develop a concise and user-friendly regional document, capturing good practices, learnings and scalable approaches implemented by UN-Women and ILO in the last four years. The document will be accompanied by a short communications brief (companion to the main report). It will build on the Mid-Term Evaluation, narrative programme reports, other surveys and evaluations and key documents reflecting. The document should also be informed by interviews and/or focus groups with key stakeholders.
Duties and Responsibilities
