JOB TITLE: COURSE ASSISTANT- GENDER ADVISER COURSE
DEPARTMENT: OOC
REPORTS TO: HEAD, WOMEN PEACE AND SECURITY INSTITUTE (WPSI)
Context
Gender mainstreaming, according to UNWomen is a globally accepted strategy for promoting gender equality. Mainstreaming is not an end in itself but a strategy, an approach, a means to achieve the goal of gender equality. It involves ensuring that gender perspectives and attention to the goal of gender equality are central to all activities – policy development, research, advocacy/ dialogue, legislation, resource allocation, and planning, implementation and monitoring of programmes and projects. In line with this call for mainstreaming many countries and organizations have created the position and appointed Gender Advisers/Focal Persons to support the process. However, there are very few courses designed to meet the needs of such appointees. The overarching role of gender advising is to support gender mainstreaming. However, gender mainstreaming is a comprehensive strategy and gender advisers are known to work in many different ways, depending on the environment. This course concept was designed to meet the diverse needs of a gender adviser. Thus, to establish what gender advisers in various ecosystems do and what skills they consider to be important for their work, this course concept was preceded by an extensive training needs assessment sent out to former and current gender advisers.
Objectives
This course concept is not designed for people who need to know more about the concept of gender as such, but for people who want to become more effective in promoting gender mainstreaming, what we refer to as gender advising. Accordingly, the overall course aims to provide participants with knowledge, practical tools and skills that will enhance their ability to support gender mainstreaming in an international mission. This has been captured in three overarching learning objectives accompanied by a number of more specific session objectives, defining what the participants should be able to do after each session.
The course assistant will provide their expertise to support the overall course implementation, take responsibility for individual project tasks and contribute to the regional networking and stakeholder management.
