Project Overview

WI-HER is implementing a 5-year institutional support contract to the USAID Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation (DDI) Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment Hub (GenDev). The multi-million dollar contract provides institutional support services to engage subject matter experts and technical expertise to support efforts related to gender integration and equality in the design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of USAID programming.

Relevant USAID Objectives

  • Gender Equality: Reduce gender disparities in who accesses, controls, and benefits from economic, social, political, legal, educational, health, and cultural resources, as well as wealth, opportunities, and services; and
  • Evidence Use: Support the Agency in shifting toward more cost-effective approaches by increasing the use of evidence of cost-effectiveness in Agency decision-making, including evidence grounded in behavioral science.

Position Objectives

The Gender Evidence Advisor will support OCE efforts to increase the use of impact evidence in program decision-making, with a particular focus on identifying the differential impact of interventions on key development outcomes for men and women, boys and girls. They will also support USAID to generate more evidence on gender differences in program impacts, where there are strategic gaps. This will involve exciting opportunities to collaborate with technical teams and Missions across the Agency on the gender-specific dynamics of programming in many sectors, as well as identify opportunities to strengthen processes, policies, systems, and capacity to consider gender in both evidence use and generation.
