UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women’s rights at the centre of all its efforts, UN Women leads and coordinates the efforts of the United Nations system to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. UN Women provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States’ priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

UN Women South Africa Multi-Country Office (SAMCO) is based in Pretoria, South Africa and serves five countries: South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and Swaziland.

In partnership with the Presidency of South Africa, UN Women SAMCO has been supporting efforts to accelerate the momentum and new commitments to gender equality and women’s economic empowerment. This collaboration was established with the aim of enabling South Africa to leverage its voice and influence on the advancement of economic rights and justice of women, in the context of South Africa’s leadership role in two respects: first, its Chairship of the African Union (AU) (in the period February 2020 - February 2021) and secondly, its co-leadership of the Economic Justice and Rights (EJR) Action Coalition within the Generation Equality Forum (GEF). One of South Africa’s key advocacy positions within the GEF EJR is to achieve _the increased adoption of policy reforms and practices that improve access to productive assets for African women in the informal, MSE sector (micro and small enterprises) and agri-business sectors. _This advocacy position intersects with the 10 action areas President Ramaphosa identified where game changing results for women’s economic inclusion must be delivered, in Africa and globally. Achieving this outcome will require the mobilization of partners to commit to building the productive assets of women in the margins (i.e., in the informal sector, MSEs) and those in agri-business and who own medium-sized businesses. Catalysing the game-changing and structural economic reforms envisaged requires prioritizing productive assets, including financial, digital and property assets. Specifically, the critical output being advocated for within the GEF context is a reduction of the gender gap in women’s financial inclusion from 9% to 6% through increasing both formal and informal financial inclusion and increasing the number of women's economic empowerment national programs that integrate digital financial services.

It is in this context, of these priorities and the cooperation between the Presidency and UN Women SAMCO, that the services of an expert Consultant is required. The Consultant will be expected to develop and produce a holistic conceptual framework that expands the notion of productive assets for strengthening women’s economic inclusion.

Globally, there is growing evidence of the critical role access to and control of productive assets by women plays in strengthening their agency, for economic participation and well-being, i.e., in terms of areas such as food security, nutrition and education. Having productive assets assists women to not only increase income, but also enables them to cope with shocks (e.g. natural disasters or family health crises). Assets can be controlled separately by men and women or as joint assets. However, as assets and their control are unequally distributed in a household between men and woman, the bargaining power of women over resources is also unequal, leading to a varying in well-being with regards to food security, nutrition, and education (GAAP, 2013). What is central, in terms of conceptions of “productive assets,” is the overall element of _context_, since ecological, social, economic, and political conditions have different effects on women and men. In light of this, it is expected that the expansion of the notion of productive assets through the development of a holistic conceptual framework will build on existing frameworks and embody the following components:

- _ Assets: _access to and control over assets are key determinants of individual agency;
- _ Livelihood strategies: the decisions about how to invest assets to generate returns, such as income or food, depend on contextual factors as well as assets w
