Adviser on Gender-sensitive Data

The purpose of this consultancy is to provide targeted guidance and advisory support to DPET to strengthen its internal capacity to carry forward work on integrating gender-sensitive considerations into CPAS indicators and related processes, with the understanding that as this capacity is developed, the need for the consultancy will be phased out. In this role, the consultant will provide independent, high-level advisory services to DPET on revising existing indicators in line with international standards and best practices, offer strategic guidance and analytical recommendations to inform internal approaches and documentation, and support knowledge-sharing sessions to strengthen understanding of key concepts and approaches. The consultant will also provide advisory input to enhance the systematic integration of gender perspectives across the CPAS cycle, including impact assessments and data interpretation, while not engaging in implementation or ongoing operational functions.
