Historique

The ‘Leading the Way for Gender Equality’ (LWGE) program (2017-2020) is a program of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs of Cambodia (MoWA) whose overall objective is “Enabled environment for gender equality, women’s empowerment and feminist leaderships in Cambodia through enhanced capacities of the Gender Machinery.” The LWGE program is supported by the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) and UNDP through the Project to Support the Leading the Way for Gender Equality Program, and by Oxfam.

The program is focused on three outcomes: 1) More effective institutionalization of gender policies across government, and more effective performance of Gender Machinery to lead gender equality mainstreaming with inclusion of disadvantaged groups of women and girls; 2) Promotion of behavioural change in favour of gender equality among the public and young Cambodians; and 3) Increase number of and capacities of women in decision-making positions and strengthen feminist leaderships.

In mid-2019, the programme conducted the mid-term review (MTR), and one of the key recommendations is for the project to provide tailored assistance to MoWA units on the integration of the RBM approach. To respond on this, the program will focus on the capacity development of the MoWA Units by using the Capacity Development (CD) Framework as a guiding document to improve the capacity of MoWA officials including the senior management from each Unit so that they have the capacity to implement the program effectively and efficiently. The project is looking for an expert, RBM and Capacity Development Specialist, to support MoWA to implement the above recommendation and ensure the CD framework is well implemented.   The specialist will also work closely with the MoWA team and M&E and Reporting Advisor to develop, improve, and operationalize results-based planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting across the entire LWGE program.
