About the role
Background
In 2024, Christian Aid Ireland (CAI) launched a Pilot Fund of €150,000 to be used for gender- transformative learning and innovation with its staff and partners. The aim of the Pilot Fund was to allow for the testing of ideas that promote gender-transformative programming and inform future work on gender equality and social inclusion. The purpose was to build on existing gender work, spearhead ideas that help move from gender-responsive to gender-transformative approaches (GTA), and generate learning on GTAs. At CAI, we understand GTAs as approaches that seek to contribute to challenging and addressing the root causes of gender inequality rather than just responding to the symptoms of it alone. CAI uses the Gender at Work Framework and the principle of the gender equality continuum to inform its approach to GTA.
Consultancy Objectives & Deliverables
A consultant is sought to facilitate CAI and the wider team engaged in the GTA Pilot Fund to undertake the learning review.
The objectives of the consultancy are:
• To facilitate the achievement of the above Learning Review Objectives through facilitating the online reflection spaces, identifying and drawing together insights, themes and learning for future work from across the spaces for further exploration.
• To document the above in an accessible learning paper that will be suitable for both internal and external audiences.
Specific deliverables include:
• Undertake a light desk review of available documentation (e.g. project proposals, theories of change, any available project-specific MEAL data and evidence that may have emerged to date, relevant notes and reflections from previous discussions).
• November: Facilitate and document semi-structured, online reflective spaces with Christian Aid and partner staff. Collaboratively with Christian Aid colleagues, the consultant would draft an approach and structure for these sessions with relevant learning questions / focus areas, which will evolve depending on the emerging insights from the sessions.
• November/December: Undertake a final reflection/validation session with Christian Aid colleagues to explore the key findings, themes and recommended guiding principles that have emerged through the process.
• By end 2025: Share a draft and final learning paper for CAI’s GTA Pilot Fund.
Consultant Requirements
• Strong expertise and experience in gender equality and gender-transformative approaches.
• Demonstrable experience in conducting learning reviews.
• Strong appreciative facilitation and listening skills.
• Clear verbal and written communication skills.
• Availability for the timeline of this work (as outlined above).
• Understanding and appreciation of the partnership approach, and the contexts in which the GTA Pilot Fund projects are being undertaken (El Salvador, India, Sierra Leone).
• Full professional proficiency in English; professional working proficiency in Spanish desirable (for engagement with the staff of the partner in El Salvador).
