Tajikistan faces persistent structural challenges to food and nutrition security, driven by limited arable land, high dependence on food imports, widespread rural poverty, and frequent exposure to natural hazards including floods, landslides, and earthquakes.

The incumbent will report to the Head of Programme and work closely with programme, field office, monitoring, partnerships, supply chain and other functional teams across the Country Office. The role will also coordinate with relevant regional and headquarters technical counterparts on gender, protection, inclusion, accountability and safeguarding priorities.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
Education: Advanced university degree in gender studies, social sciences, international development, public policy, development studies, humanitarian affairs or another relevant field OR First University Degree with additional years of relevant work experience.

Experience in livelihoods, resilience, value chains, women’s economic empowerment or financial inclusion programmes is highly desirable.

Strong understanding of gender equality, protection mainstreaming, disability inclusion, accountability to affected populations, PSEA and safeguarding in humanitarian and development programming.

Climate & Environmental justice Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)
POSITION SUMMARY
The Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Associate will bring a strong energy sector technical background to support the implementation of “Decarbonizing Indonesia through Biogas,” supporting the project team in embedding GESI across both the Technical Cooperation (TC) and Financial Cooperation (FC) components of the project.

Reporting to the Project Manager, and working closely with GGGI's Indonesia GESI Sr Officer as well as regional and/or global GESI experts, s/he will connect technical understanding of biogas/biomethane production, feedstock supply chains, and renewable energy project development with the project's social inclusion objectives, ensuring GESI considerations are grounded in the realities of how the technology, feedstock supply, and guarantee facility actually operate, rather than treated as a parallel workstream. S/he will work closely with GGGI's HQ GESI and Safeguards specialists’ team, to support the development and implementation of the project's GESI Assessment and Action Plan, ensure compliance with the Donor Safeguards Policy and Exclusion Criteria and GGGI’s Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy, and help design mechanisms that extend the benefits of the guarantee facility to women and community-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) involved in feedstock collection.

S/he will also support GESI-related monitoring, reporting and capacity-building activities, including GESI training for the Biogas Guarantee Facility (BGF) fund manager, and will contribute to the project's safeguard screening processes for sub-borrowers financed through the guarantee facility. As part of the Energy team, S/he may also be called on to support broader energy-sector technical inputs and analysis for the team's wider portfolio in Indonesia, as capacity allows.

PURPOSE
The primary objective of this position is to ensure GESI principles and Environmental and Social Safeguards are systematically integrated across the project's technical and financial components, from policy design through to guarantee facility implementation, grounded in a practical, technically informed understanding of the energy sector rather than a purely social-science lens.

REQUIREMENTS
QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Energy Policy, Social Sciences, Development Studies, or other related

Preferred at least 4 years of relevant working experience in the energy sector, with direct experience integrating gender equality and social inclusion into energy or infrastructure projects.

Practical/technical understanding of biogas or bio-CNG

Familiarity with gender-responsive approaches to climate finance or green investment is an advantage.

Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to engage diverse stakeholders, including government counterparts, fund managers, and community groups.

Proficiency in English and Bahasa Indonesia, indicating the ability to speak, read, and write in both languages fluently and accurately, with knowledge and understanding of climate change issues.

Experience in conducting administrative and operational support for energy, GESI, or safeguards-related workstreams for government or international organisations.

Proven analytical and report-writing skills.

Team player with strong organizational and multitasking abilities.

High level of cultural sensitivity and adaptability in a diverse working environment.

Background Context
Womandla Foundation is implementing the Umfazi Uyafunda project under the Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCoZ) #ShiftPower initiative. The project aims to strengthen community-led prevention of gender-based violence (GBV) in rural mining communities of Runde Rural District, Zvishavane. It seeks to increase awareness of GBV, women’s rights and available prevention, protection and response mechanisms, while supporting women- and girl-led advocacy and stronger community referral pathways.
The project recognises that legal protections may be difficult to understand when information is presented in technical legal language or is not available in language that community members use confidently.

The project therefore plans to translate and simplify key GBV legislation and related protection provisions into clear, accurate and accessible Shona, and to produce a community-friendly guide and information, education and communication (IEC) materials. The simplified materials are intended to support public legal awareness; they will not replace the official legislation or constitute individual legal advice.

Purpose of the Consultancy
Womandla Foundation seeks to engage a qualified consultant to translate and simplify the Domestic Violence Act and agreed related GBV protection provisions into accessible Shona. The consultant will ensure that the material is legally faithful, culturally appropriate, survivor-centred, easy to understand and suitable for use by women and girls, Community GBV Champions, community leaders and other residents in rural mining communities.

Objectives
• Produce a clear and accurate Shona version of agreed GBV legal information, including the Domestic Violence Act and related protection provisions identified with Womandla Foundation.
• Explain key legal concepts, rights, protections and available options in plain, community-friendly language without changing the meaning of the law.
• Develop a practical, accessible legal-awareness guide and concise content suitable for pamphlets, posters and community advocacy.
• Validate the draft materials with relevant stakeholders and revise them in response to technical and community feedback.

Required Qualifications and Experience
• Demonstrated professional fluency in both Shona and English, including excellent written Shona.
• Relevant qualification or experience in translation, language studies, law, human rights, gender studies, social development or a related field.
• Proven experience translating or simplifying legal, policy, human-rights or public-information materials into plain language
