CARE seeks a Sr. Gender & Advocacy Advisor for an anticipated $25-49 million USAID-funded Climate Resilient WASH activity in Ethiopia. The goal of this activity is to accelerate the expansion and sustainability of climate-resilient water services and the adoption of key hygiene and sanitation practices in targeted pastoralist areas in Somali, Oromia, SNNPR, and Afar. The Activity will work to fulfill this purpose through four complementary intermediate results:1. Professionalize and expand climate-resilient water services; 2. Increase adoption of key hygiene behaviors, including MHH, and end open defecation; 3. Improve gender power dynamics; and 4. Strengthen the enabling environment for climate-resilient water and sanitation services.
This position is subject to project award and funding. Ethiopian national candidates are encouraged to apply.
The Sr. Gender & Advocacy Advisor will have in-depth knowledge of best practices, standards, and innovations in violence prevention across sectors as well as substantial knowledge and understanding of the Gender and Gender Based Violence (GBV) context in Ethiopia. The Advisor will lead specific project objectives relating to the provision of technical assistance, capacity development, and direct implementation for the recovery and empowerment of GBV survivors.
