Conducting skill-sharing and learning activities with partners and allies across various countries, focusing on applying human rights to economic and environmental policy debates.

Producing high-quality, compelling outputs that highlight the connections between economic justice, gender justice, and human rights. Emphasizing feminist, gender-responsive, and accessible materials to help bridge gaps between movements.

Project management and strategy implementation

Managing, overseeing, and contributing to selected projects to achieve these objectives. This includes:

Ensuring strategic collaborations with external partners—especially feminist groups and gender justice advocates—uphold high standards of transparency, trust, and mutual learning.

Collaborating internally with other CESR staff to enhance organizational expertise and develop advocacy strategies.

Contributing to monitoring, learning, and evaluation efforts to assess progress and guide our ongoing work.

At least 5 years of increasingly responsible professional experience working on gender and economic justice, with a strong feminist analysis.

Solid research experience, ideally in more than one discipline.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, including the ability to summarize research findings and complex information (including quantitative data and statistical information) in powerful, concise forms.

Knowledge of how global economic institutions, systems and rules affect domestic fiscal and policy space, particularly in the Global South.

Strong project management experience, ability to work independently close attention to detail, and ability to juggle several different projects.

Graduate qualification in economics, law, political science, development, human rights or similar field (or an exceptionally strong track record of work which shows equivalent expertise).

Gender-based violence (GBV) Generic (e.g. 'gender focal point' role Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)

Djibouti Gender & Female Genital Mutilation Consultant

Scope of Work
Collective Impact is looking for a gender expert who is currently Djibouti City to co-facilitate the GTA tool and process for the UNFPA and UNICEF Global Joint Programme to Eliminate FGM The Gender-Transformative Accelerator Tool (GTA tool) was developed through the UNFPA-UNICEF Global Programme to End Child Marriage, one of the largest global joint programmes. It has been implemented in 17 countries as well as through Girls Not Brides - Girls Not Brides through national networks of CSOs in Nigeria and Mozambique.

The GTA tool encourages critical reflection and awareness to understand how programmes can better address unequal distribution of resources between genders, to consider how roles and responsibilities are allocated between different genders, and to assess how power secures higher status and privilege for some people. The GTA operationalizes key gender concepts and frameworks. It presents an opportunity to bring a cross-sectoral group together to strengthen gender-transformative approaches into programmes to shift the needle for adolescent and young people for a meaningful impact. Inherent in the tool is a powerful interactive and evidence-based approach to reflection and analysis of existing programmes and internal gender biases that impinge on addressing young people’s wellbeing and empowerment.

The GTA involves a 5-day participatory workshop, as follows:

Days 1-2: Values clarification exercises to address gender, agency, and power

Days 2-3: Core Elements of a Gender-Transformative Approach: A collective assessment of program interventions, while clarifying concepts, across the socio-ecological framework, through a consultative ranking process across the gender equity continuum.

Day 4: Deep Dives: In-depth reflection and analysis of barriers and bottlenecks, and exploration of opportunities, based on a prioritization of program priorities.

Day 5: Roadmap of Actions: Building on the previous day, and based on a shortlist of actions, involves the articulation of strategic actions along with details of the implementation timeframe, support needed and measures of success, and with assignment of responsibilities among team members.

The workshop in Djibouti City is scheduled for November 17-21. The consultant will support and co-facilitate the participatory GTA process to implement gender transformative approaches in the joint Global Program to Eliminate FGM

Gender-based violence (GBV)
Project Summary
The Australia Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence against Women (CEVAW) is the world’s first Centre to tackle the full range of forms of violence against women in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region. CEVAW aims to transform our understanding of the problem by examining the structural drivers that cause and compound violence against women (VAW), and pioneering new, evidence-based approaches to inform trajectory-altering practice and policy.

The PhD candidates will undertake research in the Department of Social Work in CEVAW in one of two CEVAW research streams. One research stream (led by Professor Sarah Wendt) will examine sexual, domestic, and family violence primarily in homes and neighbourhoods across time to identify how communities can become crucial actors in preventing and/or reducing VAW. The preferred focus of the PhD candidature research is on religion and faith-based organisations as an example of civil society influencing communities, families, and service provision. If you have an idea for a PhD research project that involves another aspect of the role of civil society in preventing and/or reducing VAW, please feel free to contact and discuss with Professor Wendt.

The second research stream (led by Honorary Professor Cathy Humphreys) will examine the effectiveness and range of crisis and recovery responses for women and their children living with and leaving DFV or other types of VAW. It is desirable, but not essential that the focus will be on the response from non-specialist services and informal responses to understand their role in creating safety and accountability. The intersection and response of drug and alcohol services is a particular, but not exclusive area of interest

Examples of research areas include, but are not limited to:

Understanding the role of civil society and the religious context to VAW.

The role of faith-based organizations in preventing and responding to VAW.

Understanding how specialist and non-specialist, Aboriginal community-controlled organizations, domestic and family violence (DFV) and sexual assault services recognize faith and spirituality, in supporting victim/survivors and/or perpetrators of violence and abuse.

The full range of ways in which faith-based organizations are involved in and shape, DFV service delivery.

Practitioner perspectives on / experiences of the role of faith in responding to DFV.

The role of non-specialist services in responding to DFV.

The experiences of children and adult victim survivors of the non-specialist service responses to DFV.

Understanding the impacts of colonization, religion, and associated violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (joint supervision with an Indigenous supervisor would be arranged).

Understanding the intersection of DFV with drug and alcohol and the service system response

We are seeking PhD proposals that meet the following criteria:

Proposals should identify how they connect to the aims of CEVAW;

Proposal should explain how the project centres victim-survivor and Indigenous knowledges and understands the socio-structural drivers associated with the violent conduct of those who use violence; and

Proposals should demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach.
