TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE RECRUITMENT OF CONSULTANTS TO CONDUCT GENDER ANALYSIS IN WEST AFRICA
Org. Unit: African Risk Capacity (ARC)
Duty Station: Remotely based
WAE Consultant
Duration: 40 days on a period of 6 months
Reporting to: ARC Gender Advisor
CONTEXT
The occurrence of disasters, especially those that are climate-induced, is increasing worldwide, making it more challenging to achieve the Sustainable Development Agenda particularly SDG 2 on Zero Hunger. Due to the frequency and severity of climate-related shocks, compounded by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and food crises, there is an increase in resource scarcity, which undermines livelihoods and increases food insecurity, pressures for migration, forced displacement, and the cost of building resilience at the country level. Disasters are also gendered, affecting women and vulnerable groups disproportionately due to underlying socio-economic dynamics and existing gender inequalities in access to resources, services, information and markets. As the impacts of climate change continue to grow and interact with marginalisation and vulnerability dynamics, this is likely to induce further adverse effects on agricultural production, access to food, access to housing, land as well as access to energy, clean air, water and sanitation.
Climate change, economic uncertainties, new epidemics, and food shortages are coming together in a multi-risk environment that evokes considerable concern. There are gender-based vulnerabilities to shocks, that do not emanate from a single factor but reflect historical and culturally specific patterns of social institutions, culture, agricultural practices and personal lives. Gender equality plays a pivotal role in building resilience and adaptation pathways in disaster risk management.
On this basis, the targeted governments in West and Central Africa, with the financial and technical support of the African Risk Capacity (ARC), would like to hire consultants who will support the integration of gender into the program of the ARC by carrying out a gender analysis whose recommendations will be used in the Programme of work in some countries in West Africa.
ARC PROGRAMME IN WEST AFRICA
The goal of the African Risk Capacity is to create a new way of managing the impact of weather risks on governments and their constituents by transferring the burden away from African governments to international financial markets that can handle the risk much better and thereby decrease reliance on external aid. In line with this, ARC Ltd, a financial affiliate of the ARC Agency, has provided drought, tropical cyclone, outbreaks, and epidemics insurance coverage to 17 African governments since its inception in 2014 for total insurance coverage of over USD 1 billion and made pay-outs of over USD 130 million to the governments of its member states, including countries in West Africa, following the poor rainfall seasons and severe tropical cyclone events. These resources have been used to support responses to protect more than 100 million vulnerable people in the participating countries.
Agriculture is the backbone of many WCA countries’ economies, with significant GDP and direct and indirect employment contributions. Most of the agriculture production is rainfed, and any slight shock from drought or erratic rainfall results in a severe negative impact on the economy and the vulnerable
