 JOB SUMMARY:

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has launched a call for proposals for NGOs to deliver Promoting Resilient & Equitable Recovery of Agriculture and Livelihoods in Afghan communities (PREVALE) programme. The overall aim of the 5-year is to increase multi-year food productivity and profitability for vulnerable farmers, herders, and land-poor Afghans, including women with intersecting and overlapping vulnerabilities, build community-level resilience to climate and environmental risk, and strengthen livelihoods and local markets. 

The FCDO envisions the programme will deliver the following outcomes (i) Livelihoods for vulnerable Afghans - including women, smallhodlers, and the land-poor - are more accessible, productive, profitable and sustainable, (ii) Targeted communities are better able to anticipate, prepare for, respond, and adapt to environmental and climate shocks and stresses, and (iii) Targeted households have improved food security and nutrition, and reduced harmful coping behaviours.

The consortium is seeking candidate for GESI Lead who will provide support to the overall technical and strategic management related to Gender and Social Inclusion of this expected five-year PREVALE programme in Afghanistan. 

As a key member of the Programme Management Unit (PMU), the GESI Lead will be responsible for the strategic management of GESI integration and activities and coordinate closely with implementation focal points. S/he will contribute to a successful delivery of GESI outcomes under the programme.
