Gender and Inclusion Specialist/Coordinator in Berlin bei Transparency International

Transparency International (TI-S) is currently seeking TWO motivated specialists on Gender and Inclusion:

1) a Thematic Specialist (m/f/d) to join the Research & Knowledge Team to support TI’s organisational approach to gender and inclusion and provide input and advice to different streams of TI’s work, and

2) a Gender and Inclusion Coordinator (m/f/d) to join the Inclusive Service Delivery Africa (ISDA) project and contribute to the implementation of a four-year project in Africa to tackle the issue of corruption in basic service delivery.

While the roles will work closely together, their focus will be different, with the Thematic Specialist leading on the development of research materials, in particular on the links between corruption and discrimination, and advising on gender-sensitive and inclusive approaches to TI's proposals, project design and programme development, and the Gender and Inclusion Coordinator being responsible for gender and inclusion mainstreaming across all components of the ISDA project and supporting the implementation of regional activities.

The All 4 Inclusive Service Delivery Africa is a Global Affairs Canada grant over four years, focused on five African countries - Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Madagascar, Rwanda and Zimbabwe. The aim of the project is to improve access to health and education services for groups at risk of discrimination, particularly women and girls. The project will investigate and address internal weaknesses in the design and implementation of anti-corruption legislation, policies and procedures in the education and health sectors - see here for more information.
