    Default job background
    Description
    Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) Adviser

    Location:
    Remote (with 20% in Timor-Leste)
    Gender Specialist, Youth Specialist and Disability Specialist

    The To'os Ba Moris Di'ak Program (TOMAK) is a 10-year agricultural livelihoods program funded by the Australian Government in Timor-Leste.

    Its goal is to ensure rural households live more prosperous and sustainable lives.

    TOMAK Phase 1 (AUD25 million, aimed to enable more prosperous and sustainable rural livelihoods through an innovative mix of nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA), market systems development (MSD) and women's economic empowerment (WEE) activities.

    Phase 1 was extended until June 2022 to allow for evaluative activities and the Phase 2 design update process.

    TOMAK Phase 2 takes an integrated 'food system' perspective to achieve interlinked objectives relating to food security, nutrition and agriculture-based livelihoods.

    The program has a strong inclusion focus, articulated in the program design and theory of change.

    Phase 2 adopted a 'twin-track' approach to gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) by mainstreaming inclusion alongside specific interventions to ensure particular individuals and marginalised groups can participate equally with others.

    TOMAK is being implemented at the community level in Baucau, Bobonaro and Viqueque municipalities through government and NGO partners, with broader reach achieved through various systems-strengthening activities with government and private sector partners.

    The Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) Adviser is a key TOMAK leadership team member responsible for day-to-day direction-setting, activity implementation, stakeholder engagement and partnerships, and overall management of this important technical area.

    The GEDSI Adviser will lead the implementation of TOMAK's Phase 2 GEDSI Strategy, working closely with TOMAK's GEDSI Team, program leadership and technical personnel.

    This strategy articulates and guides the program's approach to mainstreaming inclusion and identifies key areas where TOMAK intends to implement specific interventions (including gender-transformative approaches) to ensure key target groups are reached – namely women farmers, farmers with disabilities and youth farmers.

    The Adviser will ensure that the strategy is socialised and bedded down within the program and updated regularly based on implementation experiences and learnings.

    The Adviser will provide technical leadership for TOMAK's GEDSI-related research, including managing any short-term consultants engaged to support GEDSI research and assessments (including researches into disability prevalence and inclusion to be used to inform and shape disability inclusion strategies).

    The GEDSI Adviser will also provide technical input into other research activities led by TOMAK and partners (e.g. food systems research, market systems analyses etc.) to ensure all research has sufficient inclusion focus and employs gender and disability-sensitive methodologies.
    The Adviser manages the GEDSI team (gender specialist, disability specialist, youth specialist).

    The Adviser will also work with the GEDSI team to improve GEDSI skills and capacity among the broader TOMAK team, as well as with implementation partners and other stakeholders.

    With regard to community-level approaches, the Adviser will be expected to play an advisory and technical role in supporting TOMAK's implementing partner along with other members of the TOMAK leadership team.

    The Adviser should be willing to travel regularly to the field, including rural/farming communities as required.

    However, a candidate with relevant skills and experience may occupy the role as a remote position for all or part of this consultancy (with at least 20% of the time in-country).

    In collaboration with TOMAK's technical teams, develop plans and lead the implementation of the TOMAK Phase 2 GEDSI strategy, ensuring that this strategy is well integrated across all areas (incl. food systems, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, food security and nutrition, market systems development, resilience, policy and institutional strengthening);
    Provide high-quality GEDSI technical input into TOMAK's research and assessments, field implementation approaches, monitoring and evaluation, and policy/advocacy efforts, including for activities implemented by TOMAK partners (GoTL, NGO, private sector);
    Ensure provision of high-quality support, training and refresher training for TOMAK staff and implementing partners on GEDSI principles and approaches;
    Support the MEL system to integrate and adequately track inclusion outcomes
    Directly supervise and support the GEDSI team through the provision of coaching and support in planning, implementation and monitoring of GEDSI activities;
    As a member of the TOMAK leadership team, play an active role in stakeholder engagement and the development of key deliverables, including writing sections of the annual workplan and annual report and presenting at donor briefings;
    Recruit and manage any short-term personnel required for key GEDSI assignments to ensure delivery of high quality deliverables (incl. research, training curricula, analysis, etc.);
    Review as required all TOMAK/ASI policies, procedures and other relevant documentation to ensure they are aligned to DFAT frameworks and adhere to principles of gender equality, disability and social inclusion;

    Participate in relevant GEDSI-related networks (including those convened by DFAT) to ensure regular communication and coordination with other programs, organisations and agencies.

    Advanced academic qualifications in gender, agriculture, social science, health, or other related field;
    Demonstrated international development experience in gender equality and disability inclusion-related programming and youth inclusion, particularly in the areas of agricultural productivity, food and nutrition security (at least seven years);
    related to women's economic empowerment, disabilities inclusion, and youth participation and inclusion in agriculture and rural development, food security and nutrition, and market systems development;
    Excellent strategic communication and advocacy skills, analytical and report writing skills;
    Strong networks and ability to access complementary resources and expertise in GEDSI;
    Sound knowledge of gender, disability and social inclusion issues in Timor-Leste;
    Experience in capacity building, including training and on-the-job mentoring of national staff, strong leadership and team management skills;
    Advanced skills in spoken and written English required;
    a recent example of an authored GEDSI-related document (study, report, analysis).
    Adam Smith International is an equal-opportunity employer – women and candidates from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
