Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) Generic (e.g. 'gender focal point' role Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)
In the EAC region, women, who make up over 60% of the population, still face significant marginalization in decision-making processes, education, finance, and access to information and communication technologies compared to men. Similarly, people living with disabilities (PwD) are underrepresented in decision-making and have limited access to education, finance, and communication technologies. To address these challenges, Partner States have enacted and implemented various policies and legal frameworks. GIZ supports the EAC Secretariat in incorporating diversity, gender, and inclusion into all supported programs.

The Advisor's role will involve supporting the management of cluster programs by developing gender and diversity transformative activities and programs, including those for PwD. The goals of the Advisor include:

Leading as the Gender Focal person for the EAC GIZ cluster, providing strategic inputs to the Country Office, Gender Circle, and other relevant GIZ platforms.

The Advisor will support GIZ’s commitment to gender equity and inclusion of PwD, which are seen as prerequisites for sustainable development and a viable future for society. Promoting a gender- and disability-sensitive approach and acting to eliminate gender- and disability-based discrimination, are key targets of GIZ. The Advisor will ensure alignment with EAC and GIZ monitoring frameworks and reporting requirements, guided by the cluster management, the GIZ/EAC cluster coordinator, and the Program Manager for PanPrep. The role requires collaborative work with all team members to achieve these goals.
