- Facilitate inductions and training on gender equality and support the gender equality champions.
- To be successful you will have extensive experience of working with gender mainstreaming, including programme development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation preferably in both development and humanitarian contexts, including in a range of different emergencies, particularly slow-onset, rapid onset and protracted conflict emergency responses, including remote management/restricted access;
