Cap Compétences is an expertise facility managed by Expertise France which supports AFD's setting up of projects in vocational training and higher education.
Cap Compétences is involved in a prospective study on vocational training and employment intermediation sector in Bangladesh in relation to climate change adaptation.
Four professional sectors are targeted: Water, Energy, Textile and Agriculture

This job advertisement concerns the recruitment of a national gender expert for the study.

The issue of the study is to carry out an analysis of (i) the employment situation, (ii) vocational training at secondary and tertiary levels, (iii) employment intermediation and (iv) stakeholders in relation to the cross-cutting issues of environmental and climate transition and adaptation and gender, so as to propose strong and well-justified intervention scenarios to AFD.

The main tasks of the expert are defined as follows:

• Identification of documentary resources, key contacts and appropriate field visits to assess the gender issue (i) in Bangladesh (legal framework, customs, practices, etc.), (ii) in employment (in the four target sectors), (iii) in secondary and higher vocational training, (iv) in employment intermediation structures and (v) identification of existing or past national or international interventions/initiatives that can be capitalised on.
  Substantial translation of the main documents into Bengali for the international head of mission.
• Participation in all interviews and focus group - face-to-face during missions or online. 
  During these exchanges, the expert will ensure that links are made / that gender issues are addressed in the fields mentioned above and in the specific Bengali context.
  These interviews and focus group may converge with those of the head of mission, or the expert may also conduct specific interviews/focus groups (during or outside the mission). The details will be agreed with the head of mission in 2024, prior to the first field mission.
• Produce targeted notes and/or documents on gender - intended to provide input for the main deliverable (intermediate and final versions as well as summary ppt) prior to writing and/or, regards the collaboration arrangements agreed with the project leader, the expert could intervene directly on the deliverable.
• Contribution, under the coordination of the head of mission, to the proposal (of a maximum of five) prioritised intervention scenarios in VET/HE/employment integrating the gender situation analyses and proposing cross-cutting and/or specific measures to strengthen gender equality. These scenarios will also have been identified and drawn up in close consultation with the relevant authorities in the country. The head of mission will coordinate the final selection of the five scenarios. The scenarios will be presented in the form of summary sheets (see mission leader and/or ToR for more details).
• Proofreading of the main deliverable (intermediate and final versions as well as the summary ppt) after writing, in order to ensure that the gender aspects have been taken into account in the analyses and proposals made.
