Consultant to Develop a Standardized Package of Training Materials on Gender Equality Programming in Humanitarian Action
1 September ¡V 31 October, 2011
1. Summary:
UNICEF is seeking a consultant, with a proven background in developing training materials on
gender equality programming to consolidate and develop a standardized package of training
materials on gender in humanitarian action, drawing from materials that have been developed
in the framework of a UNICEF initiative to strengthen gender equality programming in
humanitarian cluster response.
2. Background:
From 2010-2011, UNICEF carried out a series of capacity building initiatives for staff and partners
on gender equality programming humanitarian action. This included deploying full-time gender
advisors to five UNICEF country offices to support staff, UNICEF-led Cluster Coordinators and
Cluster Partners in applying gender equality programming tools and approaches in their existing
work. The advisors carried out a series of sequential trainings which were designed to inform
accumulative learning and provide space for participants to practice using the tools and reflect
on and share their learning. The training sessions went beyond introducing staff to key
definitions and concepts about gender, to building their capacity in applying the practical
dimensions of gender equality programming in the framework of their programmes. For
example, staff were not just advised on what they should do (i.e. conduct a gender analysis,
integrate analysis into programme design, consult women, girls, boys and men in needs
assessments, create opportunities for equal participation of women and men in training,
programme implementation, etc. ), but they were also provided with sector-specific step by step
guidance on how to implement gender equality programming (i.e. on how to carry out a gender
analysis, how to ensure that this analysis is reflected in programme design, implementation and
monitoring, how to apply participatory approaches, etc.).
Distinct training materials were developed by individual Gender Advisors working in OPT, CAR,
Mozambique, Yemen and DRC. While each of the materials was informed by the IASC Gender
Handbook, the content, form and structure of the material varied from country to country.
3. Objective
UNICEF is seeking a consultant with a proven background in developing training materials on
gender equality, to help consolidate these tools, and develop a standardized training package
that can be adapted to a diverse range of humanitarian country and sectoral contexts.
The training package will be designed for use by UNICEF staff, partners, UNICEF-led cluster
coordinators, and cluster members who want to deepen their ability to apply gender equality
programming in practice.
