Job Summary Background CARE International entered the Syrian Crises in 2013 and at that time, the organization operated through the North West Hub, supported by the CARE Turkey Office and a handful of implementing partners. Since then, the humanitarian and access context has changed. Care in Turkey North West operations now has eight active partners supporting the cross-border humanitarian effort; one of which is women-led. There is a possibility that humanitarian and protection-focused programming will be reduced or phased out from opposition-controlled areas inside Syria to early recovery and stabilization alternatives under GoS controlled areas in the longer term. In recognition of the differential impact the crisis has on women, men, girls, and boys, CARE have highlighted the continued need for gender mainstreaming, integration and protection programming as key strategic components of CARE’s emergency and recovery interventions. The role of the gender Advisor This position will play a leading role in rekindling, energizing and fast-tracking the integration of gender and protection in programming and partnerships, particularly as the cross-border program continues to rapidly expand in North West of Syria. This position will ensure alignment of these strategies and actions to CARE Gender Frameworks and Policy Commitments: Whole of Syria gender and protection strategy, CARE International Gender policy, CARE MENA Social and Gender Justice Framework 2015 – 2030, CARE Gender Equality Frameworks and Gender Equality and Women’s Voice Guidance Note. CARE’s humanitarian work is guided by the CARE Program Strategy Humanitarian and Emergency Strategy, that strongly reinforces the focus on gender equality in humanitarian preparedness and response. The goal of the Humanitarian Strategy is to: be a leading humanitarian agency known for our particular expertise to consistently reach and empower women and girls affected by humanitarian crises. Protection mainstreaming and standalone activities will be led by the Protection Unit and further guided by the IASC Guidelines on Gender-based Violence (GBV) Interventions in Humanitarian Settings and the IASC Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings. The Gender Advisor will be the primary focal point for ensuring that gender equality objectives are mainstreamed across all operations and that relevant capacity is developed to enable gender-sensitive programming and good practices. S/he will be responsible for contextualizing and subsequently guiding the implementation of the Whole of Syria Gender and Protection Strategy (2018) for CARE in Turkey, specifically targeting the North West Syria region. This position benefits from line management supervision of the Program Quality Manager based in Gaziantep and additional technical support from both Turkey based and Whole of Syria gender and protection advisers. CARE is planning to contract a gender expert to plan for, conduct and report on the findings of the Gender Analysis in relation to the North West Syria cross-border operating context. This position will oversee the completion of the Gender Analysis and play a pivotal role in ensuring recommendations arising from the Gender Analysis are effectively communicated, understood and implemented by key staff and partners. Organization-Wide Support This position will support CARE in Turkey North West Syria senior management team and related operations, ensuring that organizational policies, structures, plans, and procedures are aligned to meet Gender and Protection strategic objectives. Program Support This position will support CARE in Turkey take a gender-sensitive approach to its operations in humanitarian response. This will include working with a) grants/sub-grants and Partnership Manager on the selection and assessment and capacity support to partners in line with sub-grant agreements, b) procurement teams to ensure vendors and contractors employ do no harm principles, adhere to CARE PSEA policy, gender-sensitive approaches contextualized for the North West of Syria and other related protection protocols and, c) finance teams to ensure gender-informed budgeting for program activities and support costs.
Program and Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability/Learning This position will support CARE in Turkey teams take a gender-sensitive approach in its humanitarian response and multi-sector approach inside North West Syria. The scope of work includes taking stock of what needs to be done to more fully apply CARE’s Women’s Empowerment Framework (WEF) throughout the programming cycle (i.e. from the analysis, design, and implementation, to monitoring and reviewing, evaluation and reporting). This scope of work involves guiding key staff and their joint planning/decision making efforts with partners so that gender and disability differences are captured, analyzed and better understood. CARE and implementing partners require timely and reasonably reliable data to understand the extent to which males and females access and benefit from the goods, services, and support provided from multiple donors supported grants. The integration of gender and protection is a direct reflection of the quality and effectiveness of CARE’s planning, programming, and decision-making capacity. While program sectors and MEAL teams have initiated gender and protection mainstreaming, team ownership of delineated responsibilities remains a work-in-progress.
Partner Support S/he will work directly with partners to develop their performance in gender integration in practical and realistic ways. There is a need to prioritize the integration of gender and disability activities across WASH, Shelter, Rapid Response, Protection, and Food Security and Livelihoods. GiE and disability integration is equally required for teams supporting data management at HQ and field level with finance teams so they understand the cost of delivering humanitarian services to females, people with disability and vulnerable males. Partner field-based volunteers/staff could also benefit from a better understanding of how to prepare for and manage service delivery and provide support with the understanding that males and females (IDPs and host community members) experience the impact of the humanitarian crises in different ways. S/he will monitor the effects of implementing the gender and protection action plan as it relates to the implementing partners.
