Introduction

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children, working in 120 countries to save children’s lives, fight for their rights, and help them fulfil their potential. We have worked in Somalia/Somaliland since 1951, and each year around 650,000 people benefit from our development work in Health, Nutrition, WASH, Education, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Child Protection and Child Rights Governance.


 Purpose

The primary purpose of this assignment is to:
•      Develop and pilot an intersectional Employment Vulnerability Index (EVI) tailored to Somalia/Somaliland’s green economy, measuring access and the gendered dimensions of quality, stability, safety, and accommodation.
•      Generate empirical, intersectional evidence on how employment vulnerability is differentiated by gender, disability, and their intersection, moving beyond descriptive statistics and perceptual data to actual lived realities and employment outcomes.
•      Produce actionable, gender-transformative recommendations for TVET-level interventions, employer engagement, and national policy that challenge harmful norms and reduce vulnerability post-placement.
•      Review and refine the already-drafted Gender and Disability Inclusion Roadmap using the assessment findings, to develop a clearer, more precise roadmap.

Professional quality and Expertise
The following are the minimum requirements for the Consultant Firm to be considered for carrying out the assignment:
·         Minimum 8 years leading complex, gender-sensitive and vulnerability assessments in Fragile and Conflict-Affected States (FCAS). Experience in Somalia or comparable Horn of Africa contexts strongly preferred.
·         Strong track record in gender–disability intersectional research, explicitly using a feminist analytical framework (evident in past reports).
·         Expertise in designing and leading safe, ethical qualitative research with women who have experienced GBV and persons with diverse disabilities.
·         Fluency in English (written and spoken).
·         Demonstrable, certified experience in ethical research with vulnerable populations, including survivor-centred approaches and PSEA.
