WI-HER, LLC is an international small business that identifies and implements creative solutions to complex health and social challenges to achieve better, healthier lives for women, men, girls and boys.
Purpose of the SOW
WI-HER, LLC seeks to engage a Social Behavior Change (SBC) Consultant to co-lead the design and implementation of an SBC & Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) process in the climate-resilient, community-led neighborhood planning and development component of the Green Cities/Adaptation pilot. Specifically, the specialist will work with WI-HER to learn, adapt and implement a results-based methodology called iDARE (Identify, Design, Apply/Assess, Record, Expand) to identify project risks and ensure a participatory planning process with stakeholders at all levels and phases of the project. This methodology will support the integration of GESI and other critical considerations throughout each implementation phase —from the creation of parcel maps and neighborhood plans in the first phase of the project, to potential land parcel allocation and title issuance in the second phase.
Scope of Work/Activities/Tasks
The specialist is expected to implement activities across three project phases: (1) sensitization and community engagement, (2) planning and reallocation, and (3) formalization, which will be led by multiple stakeholders and implementing partners. Beginning in two neighborhood areas, the specialist will work with WI-HER to employ structured approaches to social behavior change and GESI, using iDARE to identify risks, validate findings, and co-develop solutions and recommendations with local communities and leaders. The roles and responsibilities of the specialist are grouped under three tasks, elaborated below:
Task 1: Develop Materials, Plan, and Identify Risks (~5 days)
Task 2: Implement training, RCA, and Stakeholder Engagement (~20 days)
Task 3: Form and Support the Community Land-Use Committee (~35 days)
In collaboration with the WI-HER Program Manager, the Social Behavior Change Consultant will be expected to produce some of the following deliverables in relation to the above tasks:
Task 1: GESI Training Outline and Plan
Task 1: Project Risk Chart
Task 1: Adapted iDARE Tools and Training Plan
Task 2: Initial GESI/iDARE Training Session Report
Task 2: RCA Findings and Community Cohort Summary Report
Task 3: iDARE Journal and Knowledge Sharing Report
