SOCIAL EXPERT

Effectively and efficiently manage gender-related issues by implementing the GBV, SEA & SH Action Plan, focusing on risk mitigation, survivor-centered approaches, and stakeholder engagement, while fostering inclusive, transparent communication with communities and stakeholders, ensuring alignment with legal frameworks, and overseeing the monitoring and evaluation of gender impacts and community safety measures. Ensure adherence to the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and safeguard policies, particularly in areas concerning GBV/SEA/SH.

Oversee and lead the implementation of gender and GBV aspects of the SEA/SH action plan and associated instruments– including the contribution to review/update any additional gender-related aspects in other plans to ensure coherence, integration of gender issues within the specific plans and alignment with the main documents. Ensure that the GBV and SEA/SH action plan incorporates feedback from affected communities and stakeholders, and that it outlines clear reporting and support mechanisms. Map all local groups that will be target for the awareness campaigns and training (engage them in the SEA/SH Action Plan implementation).

Develop GBV Training Manual and its translation into local languages. Enforce Codes of Conduct (CoC) for contractors, workers, and project staff, with clear zero-tolerance policies for GBV/SEA/SH. Oversee the management of Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) to handle and record SEA/SH related complaints from affected communities, ensuring timely and effective resolution of grievances in line with project policies.
