CARE’s Gender in Emergencies (GiE) approach is central to our response and provides a gender lens for all our humanitarian work, ensuring alignment with CARE’s Gender Equality Framework: building agency, transforming structures and changing relations. CARE uses its GiE approach to understand the different needs, capacities, and vulnerabilities of people of all genders in all their diversity through Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA), and to implement practical, gender-informed humanitarian programming, including in CARE’s core humanitarian sectors of food and livelihood security, shelter, WASH, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. CARE and its partners’ commitment to gender transformative work includes ensuring the prevention and mitigation of, and response to, gender-based violence (GBV) and protection needs.
Opportunity
CARE is seeking a Gender-Based Violence & Protection in Emergencies Advisor, located in our Asia Region, to support our Global efforts. The GBV & Protection in Emergencies Advisor will be part of CARE USA’s Humanitarian Affairs Department and will play a critical role in ensuring the technical quality of CARE’s GBV in Emergencies (GBViE) and protection mainstreaming and standalone programming through support to program design and resource mobilization; implementation; monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL); and research and policy work.
The GBV & Protection in Emergencies Advisor will support GBViE and protection activities relating to emergency preparedness as well as deploying to support start-up and scale-up of humanitarian responses, with a global remit.
The role will provide in-country and remote technical assistance – with a particular focus on GBV response – to country offices and regional teams implementing humanitarian responses across CARE’s Asia-Pacific; East, Central and Southern Africa; LAC; MENA; and West Africa regions, complementing technical expertise of other GiE, GBViE and protection colleagues at country, regional and global levels.
S/he will work with regional and country office program and technical staff to identify strong GBViE and protection programming models for high-quality replication across regions, as well as developing and disseminating technical guidance, and addressing capacity gaps through training and mentoring. Based in the Asia region, 20% of the GBV & Protection Advisor’s time will temporarily be dedicated to regional technical focal point duties until a full-time role is secured, as per standard arrangements for all regions.
The GBV & Protection in Emergencies Advisor will provide technical inputs into program design and proposal development, lead on GBV and protection humanitarian proposal writing for global/multi-country US grants, and provide technical oversight to project implementation with a focus on US-funded interventions.
