The incumbent will provide strategic, technical, and managerial leadership to ICRW Asia’s expanding portfolio of research and programs at the intersection of gender equality, climate change, and social justice. This role is ideal for a senior researcher with demonstrated experience in conceptualizing, designing, and leading high-impact research, policy analysis, and advocacy on issues such as women’s climate resilience, gendered vulnerability and adaptation, just transitions, and environmental governance.
The incumbent will lead flagship projects, contribute to thought leadership, engage in policy dialogues, and strengthen intersection of climate and gender with other thematic areas including  women’s economic empowerment (WEE), sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), adolescent empowerment, and gender-based violence (GBV). Thematic innovation, fundraising, and mentoring junior team members will also be key components of this role.

Fundraising and Strategic Positioning 

Education: PhD in a relevant field such as Gender Studies, Environmental Studies, Climate Science or related field with a minimum of ten (10) years post doctoral experience; Masters degree with a minimum of twelve (12) years post-masters experience. 

At Girls in Global (GiG), we believe in community-led advocacy. We don’t follow a fixed theory of change. Instead, our approach is simple: empower communities to lead, and help them get the resources they need to create impact.

We are launching two pilot research-based projects, but the solutions will be region-specific and driven by local insights. How we move forward, scale, and support these communities is exactly where we need guidance.

We are looking for advisory board members who:
- Understand decentralized, community-driven advocacy
- Are excited to co-create strategies rather than dictate them
- Can offer guidance on fundraising, partnerships, and scaling localized solutions

If you are passionate about shifting power to communities and helping shape a nimble, adaptive, and people-centered approach to social change, we would love to hear from you.

The roles are open globally for womxn+ and non-binary individuals on a rolling basis. It will be a volunteering role (unpaid) since we are in the process of raising funds. If you think this suits your priorities in this moment, please connect with us to learn more and join our advisory journey.

Edit 1: Thankyou for the amazing response. Since this role doesn't have a strict JD, we are looking for individuals who are aligned to our mission and the ways that we work. Please share your expression of interest, along with a CV/work profile on our email [email protected] and we can work on how best we can use your expertise to advance our mission of community-led, community-based work from a global lens. 

BACKGROUND

The Pacific Feminist Fund (PFF) is a new non-government organisation that aims to support and amplify the work of Pacific feminists and the feminist movement across the Pacific region. This responds to research which found that less than 1% of donor’s funding is reaching women organisations in the Pacific through direct funding[1]. PFF provides grants and support for women’s groups and feminist movements to amplify their work; builds and shares knowledge of Pacific feminist ways of working; and seeks to influence funding decision-making to increase the flow of resources to women’s groups and feminist movements in the Pacific region. 

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This is a formative review, and it has two purposes. Firstly, to understand progress to date towards PFF's inception outcomes and inform PFF’s directions over the remainder of the inception phase and as it transitions to full implementation. Secondly, to understand how MFAT support has contributed to this progress and how MFAT can maximise the impact of our support.

The scope of the review is:
MFAT’s core funding and other operational support to PFF.
The review will cover the period of the Grant Funding Agreement until present.
The geographic focus is the Pacific countries in which PFF works, with a particular focus on countries where PFF has provided in-country grants.
The scope of the review will exclude PFF Activities that are funded from other development partners and MFAT funding that is not core funding, though it may include findings on how core funding enabled PFF to deliver on other development priorities.


DESIGN
In their proposal, the evaluator should identify key methods and tools relevant to this evaluation to generate credible evidence that corresponds to the evaluation’s purpose,
Prioritizes transparency and learning, and is consistent with PFF’s values and ways of working.
The final design will be confirmed in the evaluation plan and in consultation between the evaluation team, PFF, and key stakeholders where relevant.
The evaluation will be constrained by the following and these should be considered in the design:
Budget Total Funding available

Contexte
Dans ce cadre, l’intégration de la dimension genre est primordiale. Les rôles différenciés des femmes et des hommes dans la gestion des ressources naturelles influencent directement la durabilité des actions entreprises. Par exemple, en Haïti, les femmes rurales et les communautés côtières jouent un rôle central dans la gestion des ressources forestières et marines, mais sont souvent confrontées à des inégalités structurelles limitant leur participation aux processus décisionnels.

Le pays s’est doté d’une Politique nationale pour l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, soutenue par des mécanismes nationaux dédiés (notamment le Ministère à la Condition Féminine et aux Droits des Femmes - MCFDF), visant à promouvoir l’intégration du genre dans tous les secteurs, y compris l’environnement.

Dans cette perspective, le Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (PNUD) en Haïti recrute un.e spécialiste Genre pour appuyer l’intégration effective de la dimension genre dans les processus de consultation, de planification et de mise en œuvre de la SPANB, conformément aux exigences du Cadre Mondial de la Biodiversité et du 7ème rapport national, en veillant à ce que les politiques et actions liées à la biodiversité tiennent compte des rôles différenciés, des besoins et des vulnérabilité des femmes, des hommes, des jeunes et des groupes marginalisés, conformément aux orientations du plan d’action genre de la convention sur la diversité biologique.
