New deadline: 4 December 2022
Deadline extended: The new deadline for applications is 4 December 2022.
The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) is an autonomous research institute within the UN system that undertakes interdisciplinary research and policy analysis on the social dimensions of contemporary development issues. Through our work, we aim to ensure that social equity, inclusion and justice are central to development thinking, policy and practice.
UNRISD seeks a senior consultant on the topic of methodologies aimed at mainstreaming the reduction of inequalities in the three key sectors: (a) just transitions to climate change; (b) social protection and social service provision; and (c) sustainable economic growth.
Research by UNRISD and others have established that many inequalities are structurally embedded and shocks such as Covid-19 have widened fractures. Rising and systemic inequalities, climate change, environmental destruction and a pandemic pose profound questions for our societies and institutions. And it is indeed the case that these crises will call into question progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as we approach the half-way point.
UNRISD’s Bonn Programme has collaborated with the Global Policy, Governance, Cities Division of GIZ through its “Sector Project 2030 Agenda, Poverty and Inequalities” on the topic of reducing inequalities. The strategic thrust of UNRISD’s work, centered on inequalities, is to support progressive forces advocating for more inclusive, equitable and sustainable societies. To this end, the project will produce evidence-based knowledge and methodologies to address inequalities through development cooperation projects.
Job Description
The consultant will produce two deliverables:
The consultant will develop guidance notes to mainstreaming inequalities analysis and policy considerations in three sectors: (a) just transitions to climate change; (b) social protection and social service provision; (c) sustainable economic growth. The aim is that by adopting a mainstreaming approach in decision making, planning processes as well as project implementation, methodologies and sectoral policies can be developed to systematically include considerations to reduce inequalities.
Development cooperation projects often aim to reduce inequalities but sometimes lack practical tools, methodologies and case-study experiences. The consultant will develop a guidance note for projects to contribute to reducing inequalities including best practices from different development agencies. Reference materials from European Commission’s Directorate General for International Partnerships (INTPA) and others will be thoroughly consulted while preparing the guidance note.
