BACKGROUND

The African Risk Capacity is a Specialized Agency of the African Union established in 2012 as an African-owned index-based weather risk insurance that provides African countries with tools and products to quantify and manage disaster risk. ARC offers a comprehensive, integrated solution that transfers weather risk away from governments - and the vulnerable households they protect to ARC. This enables governments to build resilience and better plan, prepare for and respond to extreme weather events.

ARC Agency established its first financial affiliate, ARC Insurance Company Limited (ARC Ltd) in 2013 as a sovereign risk pool in the form of a mutual insurer owned by Member Governments. Whereas the ARC Agency provides capacity building services to Member States in risk profiling, contingency planning, and monitoring and evaluation; ARC Ltd., issues weather insurance policies to governments. It uses ARC’s risk modelling and early warning software platform _Africa RiskView_ to estimate the impact of weather events on vulnerable populations. Besides it also estimates the response costs required to assist them - before a hazard season begins, and as it progresses, so that index-based insurance pay-outs, based on Africa RiskView, are triggered at or before harvest time if the rains are poor or as soon as a severe flood or cyclone has occurred.

As part of its principles of engagement, the ARC Group adopts a differentiated approach to issues of gender equality. ARC considers the promotion of women’s empowerment and gender equality an important factor in creating long-term impacts and sustainability. In this perspective, in a bid to ensure that its operational responses and its capacity building work have a differentiated approach to men and women, ARC adopted its Gender Strategy in September 2019. The Gender Strategy, which is a result of intensive consultations with all its stakeholders has as its goal to transform Disaster Risk Management (DRM) approaches to ensure gender equality for vulnerable women and men in ARC Member States. It is in this context that ARC seeks to recruit a Research Analyst for the implementation of the 5-year strategy.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Under the supervision of the Head of Gender Unit, the incumbent will support the implementation of the ARC Gender Strategy in the following areas:

- Assisting in the coordination of the Gender and DRM Platform: provision of administration, communication and logistics support to the gender & DRM platform through the establishment and updating of membership profiles, moderation of discussions on the virtual platform, development and dissemination of summary discussions of the platform, preparation of logistics for face to face meetings of the Platform etc
- Monitoring and Evaluation: work closely with the M&E unit of ARC to collect and analyse gender disaggregated data for gender transformative progress tracking of ARC interventions.
- Supporting policy dialogue and advocacy: Including liaising with ARC’s communications staff, contributions to the ARC website, assisting on social media, co-facilitating relevant events on advocacy for a gender sensitive policy environment in disaster risk financing.
- Providing administrative support as needed, to the Gender Unit, including accounting, HR, logistics and related duties. Perform other related duties as requested by Senior ARC staff
