Gender Advisor
The Gender Advisor will play a crucial role in providing expert advice on gender-related issues, challenges, and initiatives critical to the attainment of objectives in line with latest evidence and programmatic developments on gender. Specifically, the Gender Advisor will provide guidance and support to the program team to further understand how integrating CHWs into health systems can be done in a more gender responsive way, increase understanding of the challenges and opportunities female CHWs face on the journey to professionalization as well as surface any unintended negative consequences to professionalization. This will be done using qualitative (focus groups, docuseries) and quantitative measures (surveys) working in close collaboration with academic partners. The Gender Advisor will also contribute to organizational change efforts to promote a culture and systems that help advance gender equality. The Gender Advisor will provide mentorship and coach the program team as part of daily work by explaining key gender integration concepts, standards, and resources. The incumbent will also facilitate training and mentorship to strengthen the gender integration capacity of FAH.
