[Hiring] International consultant for the development of protocol sheets and practical sheets of the Gender Sectoral Analysis @UN Women

Role Description

UN Women Morocco Office is seeking specialized expertise to:

• Develop two protocol sheets (framework documents) for the institutional and consular dimensions, including the following key elements:
  • Objectives and purpose (what they aim to change in practices) of these documents;
  • Action axes and principles, presented in a clear way for a target audience not specialized in gender approaches;
  • Practical implications for the relevant structures, notably: Directorate General of Administrative and General Affairs, Directorate of Consular and Social Affairs, Directorate of Human Capital, Department of Moroccans Living Abroad, Legal Directorate of the Ministry, General Inspectorate; etc.
  • References to practical sheets/tools enabling operational application.
• These gender protocols are not intended to be analytical or academic but rather aim to strengthen the Ministry’s ownership and practical implementation of the sectoral gender analysis recommendations among managers and staff in the relevant structures.
• Concretely, these documents should enable managers or officials who are not familiar with gender approaches to:
  • Understand the context of the sectoral gender analysis and identify the key principles of action applicable within their area of responsibility;
  • Determine which tool sheet to refer to depending on the situation;
  • Rely on a practical and accessible framework to guide implementation.
• The gender protocols must be readable, educational, and usage-oriented, allowing managers and officials who are not familiar with the gender approach to quickly understand the purpose of the protocol, identify applicable principles of action within their scope, and refer, as needed, to the corresponding support sheets and tools.
• Develop and/or finalize practical sheets (13 sheets on the institutional dimension and 8 on the consular dimension) particularly including a proposal on editorial architecture, the appropriate level of synthesis, and the best articulation between principles statements and operational tools.
• All deliverables produced must primarily strengthen ownership, readability, and effective implementation of the developed roadmaps, both on the institutional and consular dimensions.
