Job Title: Senior Gender Specialist, Northern Nigeria<\/strong><\/p>\n

Program Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

TechnoServe Nigeria is currently pursuing funding from a large European institutional donor to design and implement a six-year market development program, which will create enhanced employment opportunities for the poor in Northern Nigeria.
\nThe program will be based on the Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) methodology and will increase employment and improve productivity in selected agricultural market systems in Northern Nigeria.

\nThe program will provide intensive support to a range of market functions and value chains in selected sectors, support entrepreneurship development and enterprise innovation, stimulate private sector provision of services and promote innovative and inclusive business models with the potential to reach a large number of low-income people.

\n\u2022 Design and conduct gender sensitization training for TechnoServe staff, implementation partners and beneficiaries.

\n\u2022 Monitor program performance and contribute content for internal and external reporting.
\n\u2022 Design and conduct robust gender impact evaluation at the close of the program.<\/p>\n

Required Skills and Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Advanced degree in gender studies, sociology, anthropology or related field
\n\u2022 Minimum of 5 years experience in best practice gender integration in economic development
\n\u2022 Preferably a recognized gender expert in the field, with first-hand knowledge of gender priorities of leading donor agencies and\/or other key institutions
