Movement buildingBACKGROUNDThe Equality Fund is transforming the way that resources—and power—flow into the hands of women, girls, and gender expansive people worldwide. Designed by feminists for feminists, it is a model for sustainably resourcing feminist movements everywhere, through global grantmaking, gender-lens investing, policy advocacy, and feminist philanthropy. Launched in 2019, the Equality Fund has committed $100 million to organizations working in 100 countries globally.
The OPPORTUNITYThe Equality Fund is undertaking an evaluation of its work with Women’s and Feminist Funds (WFF). Whilst the scope of the evaluation is still to be finalised, the purpose of the evaluation is to consider the value and impact of Women’s and Feminist Funds. Primarily,- What has resulted from 4 years of funding in terms of ‘real world’ outcomes?
We would also like to consider:- What has been the added value of WFFs? How are they more than intermediaries?
Final decisions around methods have not yet been made, as these will be dependent on the final scope and questions, but they will be largely qualitative. The Equality Fund is deeply committed to centering feminist and participatory approaches in this evaluation.There are no baselines as the work of the WFFs and their grantees are self directed. Data on the WFFs has been collected in salesforce and there are indicators that are reported to funders.We require a skilled feminist evaluator or small evaluation team to lead the evaluation and work as part of a team to deliver the evaluation. The Equality Fund has two staff working part-time on this, including a MEL advisor. Additionally, an internal reference group has also been established to provide advice and support for the length of evaluation. The evaluator(s) will work closely with these EF resources to deliver the evaluation.The evaluation is a complex but exciting opportunity to contribute to building evidence on the impact of funding Women’s and Feminist Funds. It is also an opportunity to provide recommendations to the Equality Fund on how we might improve our MEL systems for capturing impact over the coming years.A formative evaluation of the Equality Fund was led by Global Affairs Canada and would make useful background reading.SELECTION CRITERIA- Track record of leadership of successful evaluations that have focused on women’s rights and gender justice.
- Proven track record of using feminist and participatory approaches to evaluations.
- Strong understanding of, and contacts within, the feminist funding ecosystem, particularly with Women’s and Feminist Funds.
- Strong evaluative skills, experience in evaluation design and in using evaluative methods, particularly qualitative.
- Strong understanding of women’s and LGBTQI movements and experience working with grassroots/diverse organizations.
- Experience facilitating virtual interviews and participatory meetings with activists and civil society groups.
- Proven written and oral communication skills in English. Bilingual Consultants (French, Spanish, Arabic) are encouraged to apply.
- Commitment to intersectional feminist approaches and commitment to gender, racial, economic, and global justice.

Movement building Generic (e.g. 'gender focal point' role Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)Background/ContextHumanitarian needs are at an all-time high, with an estimated 150 million women and girls requiring assistance and protection due to escalating conflicts, climate-related disasters, and food insecurity. Yet, funding freezes and budget cuts by major donors have triggered a global ‘humanitarian reset’—a shift requiring the sector to meet growing, complex needs with significantly fewer resources. In Asia and the Pacific—the world’s most disaster prone and crisis-affected region—women’s rights and women led organizations (WRO/WLOs) are at the forefront of responding to climate emergencies, conflict, economic injustice, and displacement. However, their leadership remains under-recognized and under-resourced. Gains made in supporting WRO/WLOs with quality funding and decision-making power are now at risk, as the reset increasingly prioritizes efficiency over equity. While this shift presents serious challenges, it also opens a window for transformative change. Amid global pushback against gender equality, there is a critical opportunity to rebuild a humanitarian system that not only delivers targeted, high-quality support for women and girls, but also centers their leadership putting power and resources directly in the hands of those on the front lines. Women’s organizations across the region are already bridging the humanitarian–development–peace (HDP) nexus responding to immediate crises while strengthening community resilience, advancing just transitions, and defending rights.
In light of this, UN Women would like to work with a consultant to co-develop a feminist, partner-led strategy to strengthen engagement with WRO/WLOs working in humanitarian response and resilience building. This process will centre the expertise and leadership of feminist actors working at the frontlines of crisis and care: many of whom operate across the HDP nexus. This work will ensure that UN Women Asia and the Pacific’s efforts to ensure WRO/WLOs continue to have their work increasingly recognized and resourced is not lost in the current context.
Required Qualifications- Master’s degree or equivalent in public administration, human rights, gender equality, humanitarian action, disaster risk reduction, management, social sciences or other related areas is required
- A first-level university degree in combination with two additional years of qualifying experience may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree
- At least 5 years of experience working with feminist movements and women-led organizations in humanitarian, development, or climate response contexts, ideally within Asia and the Pacific
- Experience designing and facilitating participatory research, consultations, or strategy development processes, particularly those centering local or marginalized actors
- Demonstrated experience influencing or engaging with UN coordination mechanisms (e.g., GiHA, IASC, Grand Bargain) or similar multilateral platforms on gender equality and localization issues
- Fluency in English is required
- Excellent English communication and writing skills

Are you interested in linking menstruation to broader questions of gender justice and social mobilization? Then this PhD position might be the right fit for you. – The position is part of the PERIODS project on Human Rights in the Menstrual Movement funded by the European Research Council and led by Dr. Inga Winkler. You will play a key role in the project by taking the lead on the case study in South Africa focused on the intersections of informality, gender and menstruation in the urban context.

On that basis, the project seeks to determine how lived experiences inform movement building, what demands people articulate, what strategies and approaches groups rely on, and how struggles at the local, national, transnational, and global level influence each other. The PhD project will explore the intersections between informality, patriarchy and menstruation.
Your duties and responsibilities include:
Develop the research design for the PhD project at the intersection of menstruation, gender and informality and obtain ethical clearance in line with the goals of the funding award Collect data through interviews and focus groups and other empirical methods and conduct data analysis and management
Collaborate with team members on other components of the project (in particular on other forms of marginalization and stigmatization)
Write and publish in peer-reviewed venues
Support other activities as relevant during each stage of the project and participate in the activities of the Law group at Wageningen University and the Chair in Urban Law and Sustainability Governance at Stellenbosch University.
To meet the requirements of the role, you will bring:
Advanced skills in research, analysis, critical thinking, and writing
Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team in a dynamic, interdisciplinary and intercultural research environment
Outstanding communication skills that enable you to work in an intercultural setting across timezones and geographies
Excellent organizational and management skills that enable you to balance different tasks and priorities
Familiarity with the geographic and socio-cultural context of this South African case study
You must also have:
A successfully completed MSc, MA, LLM or equivalent degree in law, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, socio-legal studies, public health, or other relevant discipline
Interest in research on human rights, gender, and/or social movements
Training in qualitative empirical research methods and/or socio-legal studies, ideally working with groups facing marginalization
Familiarity with developments in the field of human rights and critiques of human rights
In addition to English, fluency in other South African language(s) such as isiXhosa and Afrikaans will be considered a strong asset. Please indicate your language skills*When clicking on “Apply”, you will be redirected to the original job announcement and details

Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)Background
Since 2023, the African Union Commission (AUC) and AfricaNenda Foundation have been working in partnership to advance financial inclusion across Africa by championing universal access to digital financial services (DFS). Together, they are implementing the Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa (2020–2030) and driving a continent-wide advocacy program to harmonize DFS policies and regulations — with a strong focus on inclusive instant payment systems (IIPS) that facilitate affordable, secure, and interoperable cross-border digital retail payments. Achieving this vision requires sustained, expert-driven advocacy that connects technical evidence to policymaking, mobilizes stakeholder buyin, and builds consensus on regulatory and policy reforms that promote financial inclusion, innovation, and economic integration.
Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the AfricaNenda Foundation seeks to engage an experienced Advocacy Consultant to provide strategic and technical support to the joint advocacy program. The consultant will play a central role in advancing the harmonization of DFS policy and regulatory frameworks across national, regional, and continental levels, with an emphasis on enabling inclusive, gender-responsive, and interoperable instant payment systems. The role calls for a dynamic firm with proven experience in interventions involving the African Union Commission, expertise in African policy advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and digital financial services, capable of ensuring that advocacy efforts are targeted, impactful, and aligned with the evolving policy landscape.
Project Expertise and Technical Competencies Required
▪ Minimum of 7–10 years’ experience in high-level policy advocacy within the African policy/regulatory landscape, preferably in financial services, payments, or digital economy sectors. Deep understanding of DFS & IIPS
▪ Solid technical knowledge of digital financial services, instant payment systems, interoperability, cross-border payments, and related policy/regulatory frameworks.
▪ Familiarity with gender-responsive and inclusion-focused approaches in digital finance.
▪ Demonstrated experience in convening and influencing diverse stakeholder groups, including continental institutions (e.g., AUC, AfCFTA Secretariat, RECs), policymakers, regulators, private sector actors, and civil society.
▪ Strong political economy and protocol sensitivity in pan-African contexts. Capacity-Building and knowledge management skills
▪ Proven ability to design and deliver high-impact capacity-building programmes, workshops, and technical assistance for policy and regulatory audiences.
▪ Strong skills in developing advocacy content, tailoring messages, and preparing compelling materials for varied audiences.
▪ Ability to leverage both traditional media and digital platforms for advocacy outreach. Research and evidence-building capacity
▪ Ability to conduct rapid research, policy analysis, and synthesis of complex technical issues into actionable recommendations.
▪ A multidisciplinary team with relevant sector, advocacy, and communications experience, with designated leads for technical content, stakeholder engagement, and capacity-building.
▪ Demonstrated presence or partnerships in multiple African regions to facilitate on-the-ground engagement and pan-African reach.*When clicking on “Apply”, you will be redirected to the original job announcement and details
