Agriteam is currently hiring an experienced development professional to be deployed as GBA+ Advisor for its flagship governance project in  Ukraine, Support to Ukraine’s Reforms  in Governance.  The Gender/GBA+ Advisor will be responsible for supporting Agriteam’s field team in the successful implementation of the expert deployment project supporting government reforms with both line and central ministries, with focus on driving the overall social inclusion agenda across all pillars of the program, and within the project team.

 

Role

Reporting to both the Ukraine Field Director and the Canadian Deputy Project Manager, the GE/GBA+ Advisor has advanced qualifications in GE and GBA+ analysis and will support the needs assessment, planning and implementation of the GBA+ components of the SURGe project.

The GE/GBA+ Advisor will be responsible for supporting the implementation of a project level gender strategy that ensures all operational and programming activities consider, model and actively promote gender equality and gender mainstreaming as part of a set of cross-cutting themes. This may include undertaking research and/or reviewing background information to ensure that the strategy and related actions consider international best practice integrating gender equality with organizational development and governance reform work. The strategy may involve the formulation of procedural recommendations for SURGe including needs assessments, policy analysis, planning and response.

The GE/GBA+ Advisor will oversee data collection and results reporting for the project, monitoring capacity of project interventions to mainstream diversity and inclusion principles. The GBA+ advisor will support training of staff and other stakeholders, and ensure that the tools and processes are in place to meaningfully use project data as a foundation for evidence-based decision making in support of all segments of the Ukrainian public.

The GE/GBA+ Advisor requires strong people and process management skill, as well as the ability to conceptualize project process within the parameters of the Feminist International Assistance Policy of Global Affairs Canada and Canadian GBA+ methodology which constitute foundational methodological approaches of the project.
