    Description

    The Center for Reproductive Rights uses the power of law to advance reproductive rights as fundamental human rights around the world.

    Our Vision We envision a world where every person participates with dignity as an equal member of society, regardless of gender


    The Role:

    The Senior Gender Equality Adviser for Africa will work under the supervision of the Associate Director of Advocacy and External Relations for Africa in close collaboration with other program staff to support and build the work of the program.

    CRR's approach to advocacy prioritizes placing the voices and experiences of women and adolescents, particularly those facing intersectional discrimination, at the center of all advocacy strategies.

    This requires that these women and adolescents are provided the training, resources, and opportunity to self-advocate and actively participate in advocacy interventions at the national, regional, and global levels.

    As such, this position is expected to leverage Universal and Regional Human Rights standards and mechanisms to promote SRHR and Gender Equality.

    This position will work closely with other departments across the organization, including Global Advocacy, External Relations, Communications, Program Management Department, Pro Bono, regional program teams and others.

    The Senior Gender Equality Adviser will be key in strengthening and maintaining the AFRICA Program's attention to gender perspectives, providing the necessary rationales and advice on approaches to support gender mainstreaming in all the regional program work.

    This requires a good understanding of the work of the Africa program team and all the partners.

    This is a 2-year fixed-term role with the possibility of extension.
    The position will be based in the Center's Nairobi office and will involve travel across the region.

    Primary Responsibilities:
    The primary job responsibilities for the Senior Gender Equality Adviser for AFRICA include, but are not limited to:

    Strategy Development and Implementation

    Design and implement a comprehensive strategy for gender-responsive programming and implementation for the AFRICA region and ensure incorporation of gender considerations in all projects and programs.

    Support embedding an intersectional gender lens in all project designs and implementation by the Africa program team and its partners.

    Identify and map key stakeholders to advance the Center's strategic work, including within Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Education, Justice, Health, Women's rights groups, and feminist organizations.

    Maintain contacts and institutionalize them.

    Support the Center's movement-building initiatives in each country of focus and regionally, including through implementing the Nakuru Strategy and convening ARRI.

    Support the implementation of national court decisions and the recommendations from human rights mechanisms in the Center's focus countries in Africa by centering a gender intersectional lense in all processes and initiatives towards implementation.

    Technical Support and Training

    Provide technical support and training to Center staff and implementing partner organizations on gender and SRHR.

    Design, plan, and conduct technical briefings with African human rights mechanisms, including the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.

    Provide technical assistance to policymakers and lawmakers on gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

    Policy Analysis, Knowledge creation, and Communication

    Undertake research to document and catalyze action towards addressing the intersection of gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights violations in the Center's countries of focus.

    Review the Africa program documents and information products to ensure they integrate gender and properly reflect the needs, priorities, and circumstances of women, men, girls, and boys.

    Work with Africa Program staff and Partner organizations to develop communication messages and materials to advance gender equality and gender-responsive program implementation.

    Prepare internal and external updates and other written analyses and reports as needed.
    Development of necessary methods and tools, such as guidelines and checklists, to ensure gender mainstreaming.

    Requirements

    Qualifications:
    A degree in gender studies, international relations, social sciences, law, or similar social sciences is a plus.
