UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

Background

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

Men, boys, women, and girls are differently affected by crises and have different needs, vulnerabilities, capacities and coping mechanisms. Women and girls, however, are disproportionately affected by crises due to compounded factors including the breakdown of key services which are critical to their health, protection, and recovery; weakened formal and informal protection mechanisms; disrupted livelihoods and limited access to resources; increased displacement; and power imbalances; while pre-existing inequalities, discrimination, and risks are by far exacerbated. With this background, UN Women seeks to strengthen the capacities of national and regional clusters, NGOs and CSOs on Gender in Humanitarian Action (GiHA). In line with the localization agenda and UN Women’s mandate, the interventions will also include local women-led organizations (WLOs) and women’s rights organizations (WROs) working on humanitarian action. To strengthen capacities, UN Women will hire a national consultant to deliver four rounds of trainings of trainers (ToT) for humanitarian responders, and update the Ethiopia-contextualized GiHA training materials. The trainings will primarily target responders who already have experience in GiHA.

Objectives:

By conducting four rounds of GiHA ToTs and updating the GiHA training materials, UN Women will ensure that there is a reserve of skilled humanitarians with the skills and capacity to provide GiHA trainings for clusters and other actors, and that general GiHA knowledge among humanitarian responders in the country is enhanced.

The Consultant will provide an overall update to the training materials to ensure they are up to date on the current context in Ethiopia and with latest global developments around GiHA, with special attention to the interactive nature of all sessions to ensure ToT maximum benefit.

Duties and Responsibilities

Deliverables:

Under the direct supervision of the Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action Programme Specialist at UN Women ECO, the Consultant will be responsible for delivering the below:

The consultant will have access to training materials recently developed.
Further develop the interactive and engaging training methods and activities (guidelines, handouts, pictures, games, presentations, discussions, and audio / video content) and incorporate them into the training materials
Deliver four 4-day rounds of in-person GiHA ToT trainings in English and Amharic where applicable, using modern and engaging learning techniques
Provide a session brief/facilitator note in English for use by any new trainer that provides a detailed explanation of the methodology for each of the GiHA training modules
Develop a pre-and post-training survey to measure increase in participants’ knowledge and capacities on GiHA
