FH seeks a qualified candidate for Gender Youth and Social Inclusion (GYSI) Lead role, who will work under the Chief of Party for an anticipated five-year USAID-funded Resilience Food Security Activity (RFSA) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The goal of the Activity is to improve food and nutrition security and resilience among poor and chronically food insecure households and communities in a sustainable manner. Hiring is contingent upon successful award of the program and USAID approval of the candidate.
The GYSI lead will ensure that the social dimensions of FNES are effectively addressed across all activity components and at all levels throughout award implementation. This person will work to ensure vulnerable and marginalized populations are considered in targeting approaches. The Gender, Youth and Social Inclusion Lead will be responsible for effective integration and mainstreaming of gender and youth considerations in the Development Food Security Activity (DFSA) throughout the entire award period to ensure compliance with USAID Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs’ (BHA) commitment to gender integration and female empowerment, and positive youth engagement in development as keys to realizing intended outcomes. The Gender and Social Inclusion Lead should have an in-depth understanding of gender, age, and other socio-cultural factors in the context of food security programming; a demonstrated capacity to design and implement a gender/youth analysis, including the collection and analysis of sex and age-disaggregated data (qualitative and quantitative) from a broad range of sources to identify gender and youth-based issues (constraints/weaknesses and opportunities/strengths) that must be considered for the project to achieve its intended outcomes; and the ability to integrate the findings from gender and youth analyses into project design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation.
