JOB DESCRIPTION:

Action Against Hunger seeks to contract an experienced Gender Consultant to conduct a comprehensive gender analysis. The primary objective of this gender analysis is to strengthen Action Against Hunger’s programming by ensuring a nuanced understanding of gender dynamics in Armenia. The findings will help Action Against Hunger refine its interventions to better address gender inequalities and enhance opportunities for gender-transformative programming. The gender analysis will focus on key areas that impact social and economic inclusion. Specifically, it will:
- Analyze national legal and policy frameworks on gender equality, employment, and social inclusion, highlighting gaps and advocacy opportunities;
- Collect and analyze gender-disaggregated data on employment, education, economic participation, and social inclusion to inform evidence-based programming;
- Examine cultural and societal norms shaping gender roles, particularly those affecting access to economic opportunities, leadership, and decision-making;
- Identify gender disparities, including barriers to economic participation, employment, and access to resources among women, men, girls, and boys;
- Provide actionable recommendations to enhance the gender sensitivity of Action Against Hunger’s interventions.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

The analysis will combine mixed survey methods (qualitative and quantitative) ensuring the collection of diverse perspectives while grounding findings in statistical evidence.

Desk Research and Secondary Data Analysis
- Review existing reports, policies, and legal frameworks on gender equality, employment, and social inclusion in Armenia;
- Assess prior research and evaluations conducted by NGOs, government agencies, and international organizations to identify trends and gaps;
- Analyse gender-disaggregated statistical data on employment, education, economic participation, and access to services.

Key Informant Interviews (KIIs)
- Conduct semi-structured interviews with policymakers, local authorities, community leaders, gender experts, and representatives from civil society organizations (CSOs) to gain insights into institutional perspectives on gender equality;
- Engage humanitarian and development actors working on gender-related issues to assess best practices and challenges in the sector.

Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)
- Organize FGDs with diverse community members, including women, men, girls, and boys, to capture perceptions of gender roles, access to economic opportunities, and decision-making processes;
- Include marginalized groups such as ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and displaced populations to ensure an inclusive understanding of gender barriers.

Intersectional and Participatory Approach
- The gender analysis will apply an intersectional lens, considering how factors such as age, ethnicity, disability, displacement, and socio-economic status shape gender experiences;
- A participatory approach will be used to ensure the active engagement of affected communities in identifying gender gaps and co-developing solutions.

Data Analysis and Validation
- Comparative Analysis: Compare gender disparities across different demographic groups and geographical areas;
- Thematic Analysis: Identify recurring themes related to gender barriers, policy gaps, and socio-cultural influences;
- Triangulation: Cross-validate findings by integrating insights from desk research, FGDs, KIIs, and secondary data analysis to enhance reliability and accuracy.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

To effectively conduct the Gender Analysis the consultant must have:

- Master’s degree (or bachelor’s with extensive experience) in Gender Studies, Human Rights, International Development, Social Sciences, Law or a related field;
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in gender analysis, protection, or social research, including baseline evaluations, surveys, and impact assessments with a focus on conflict-sensitive, gender-transformative approaches;
