Job Description

Equipped with the proper resources, women and girls have the power to lift whole families and entire communities out of poverty. 
 
ABOUT THE ROLE
CARE Canada’s bold Strategic Plan, From Caring Comes Courage (2021 – 2027), sets out CARE Canada’s commitment to bring all our resources, talent, and expertise together to unlock women’s leadership for a gender-just future. It recognizes that to lead change and realize a better life for herself and her community, every woman needs to be safe, healthy and have a dignified livelihood. It also fundamentally realizes that ‘business as usual’ is no longer good enough: this Plan challenges us to reimagine how we achieve our mission, inspire Canadian investment in that mission, and transform our organization to be future-ready.

CARE Canada’s Global Programs unit is responsible for developing and managing the organization’s programs in both development and humanitarian assistance focusing on the injustice of poverty and gender inequality. The new Strategic Plan reaffirms our gender-equality focus and our dual-mandate status. Our ultimate impact goal is to support women’s leadership for a gender-just future grounded in strong programs supporting safety/protection, health and dignified livelihoods across both humanitarian and development settings. The Global Programs unit is responsible for the overall management of CARE Canada’s global programming circa $50-60m annual development and humanitarian programming portfolio.

The Gender Equality and Inclusion Advisor will be a key contributor to CARE Canada’s overall success and effectiveness. The Gender Equality and Inclusion Advisor will advance CARE Canada’s commitment to program quality, specifically by supporting gender equality, inclusion and commitments to gender based violence across the organization. They will seek to ensure strong alignment of new programs and existing programs with CARE Canada’s Strategic Plan, with a particular focus on ensuring gender transformative and innovative program design and implementation.
