Introduction

As part of a new risk management and resources management project in the South Region (Manager-SUD), Swiss cooperation is recruiting an advisor in gender, management of programs sensitive to conflicts (GPSC) and protection.

Manager-South intends to strengthen the resilience of the population, in particular women and girls, in the face of natural vagaries and climate change, as well as to reduce the risk of disasters. By capitalizing on acquired experiences and the network of existing partners, this new project is a “Nexus” humanitarian program in a context of prolonged crises articulated around two main components, risk governance and sustainable resource management. These two axes of intervention will act in parallel in order to allow remote and vulnerable rural communities, especially women and girls, to better resist and to straighten more quickly in the event of a natural disaster.

To support this project, Swiss cooperation has mandated a gender analysis as well as an analysis of conflict dynamics to detail and explain the different roles, needs, and opportunities of men and women as well as the relationships that characterize them in relation to risk management and natural resources. Gender analysis will identify the standards, systems and social structures that influence the behavior of individuals and, therefore, condition gender equality in the field of risk management and natural resources. It also relates to the risks to which women and girls are exposed. On this basis, concrete strategies and actions of action to transform relationships between men and women in search of gender equality when it comes to risk management and natural resources will be integrated into Mana-Sud. On the basis of the analysis of conflict dynamics, the main connectors and separators factors within communities and the population which promote or disadvantage conflictuality in the field of risk management and natural resources will be identified and tracks to ensure the management of sensitive conflict (GPSC) and strengthen connectors in a logic of peace consolidation will have been integrated into the Manage-Sud project.

This position of advisor in gender, management of programs sensitive to conflicts and protection aims to implement the tracks and concrete actions identified by gender analysis and the analysis of conflicts of conflicts in the Holistic Manager-South project, including the aspects of PSEAH. The advisor to the gender advisor, management of programs sensitive to conflicts and protection will also be responsible for constantly developing and adapting these avenues of action to the reality of the project and the possible changes in the context.
