Project or context description
Expertise France is implementing a technical assistance project in seven European Union Member States in order to foster Gender mainstreaming into public policies and budgeting.
The “Gender Flagship Project” aims to support institutions at central or decentralized level to strengthen the integration of gender into public action though the application of Gender Mainstreaming (GM) tools such as Gender Budgeting (GB), Gender Action Plans (GAP) or Gender Impact Assessment (GIA).
The project has been designed around two axes:
- ASSESSING IMPACT of policies on gender through better collection and dissemination of gender sensitive data;
- ADRESSING GENDER INEQUALITIES in policies and budgets.
And three components:
- Identification of practices and confirming specific needs of each beneficiary authority in order to improve gender mainstreaming (application of GM tools such as GB, GAPs or GIA);
- Operationalization: capacity building and implementation of GB, GIA or GAP tools;
- Capitalization: embedding the new practices and enabling their duplication across institutions.
Expertise France provides tailored technical assistance to each beneficiary authority, but also proposes group activities such as training, workshops and study visits, so as to have a better understanding of international good practices of GM/GB, and to learn about methodologies and tools for mainstreaming gender throughout the policy making process.
Required profile
- Master's degree or equivalent in political science, economics, international cooperation or equivalent;
- Excellent knowledge on gender equality and gender mainstreaming tools;
- Several experience in technical support to public institutions;

- Writing and synthesis skills;
- Good knowledge of office software (Pack Office, Outlook, Internet), particularly Excel;
