Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Gender Advisor - Disability in Employment Programme.
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian charity with over 80 years of experience in working to advance children-s rights around the world. Plan-s child-centred community development (CCCD) programming approach is a holistic, multi-sectoral approach to working with communities to empower children and adolescents to support the fulfilment of their rights. This work focuses specifically on promoting girls- rights and gender equality. Plan International UK is one of 20 national organisations which support programmes in over 50 low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas.
Background
The Innovating Pathways for Employment Inclusion (IPEI) programme aims to increase the wellbeing and inclusion of people with disabilities living in urban locations Kenya and Bangladesh. Led by Leonard Cheshire, the innovative programme will work with global, regional and national actors representing disabled people-s organisations, UN Agencies, World Bank, INGOs and academic institutions to support people with disabilities into waged employed. The programme seeks to improve systems, policies and the enabling environment to overcome barriers to the meaningful inclusion of persons with disabilities in private sector employment, with a focus on developing and testing new approaches for disability inclusive employment. Funded by the Department for International Development (DFID), under UK Aid Connect, the programme consists of an eight-month co-creation phase where members of the consortium will conduct research and test approaches, followed by 3-year implementation period.
The programme is being delivered by a consortium, led by Leonard Cheshire, and in partnership with Plan International, CBM, International Labour Organisation, Work Bank, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Action Network for the Disabled and Bangladesh Business Disability Network.
As a leading organisation for gender equality and inclusion, Plan International will work with the consortium members to ensure that the programme and its interventions address the specific vulnerabilities, risks and barriers to access facing women with disabilities.
Purpose of the Consultancy
Plan International UK is seeking to appoint a consultant Gender Advisor to provide technical advice to the above programme. The consultant will:
· Provide technical advice to ensure gender is mainstreamed across the IPEI activities delivered during the co-creation phase
· Work with consortium members and relevant staff in Plan International country offices to ensure that the design of the three-year IPEI programme is informed by learning from girls- rights and gender equality work and that it responds to intersectionality of gender, disability and employment
· Represent Plan International UK with consortium members at programme related meetings and workshops and advise on gender related issues, notably where these intersect with economic empowerment for women and girls with disabilities
Scope of Work
1. An initial report outlining detailed technical advice on how to develop and adapt the project implementation plans in order to maximise the impact for disabled women and girls.
