Capacity-building for HCP regional managers on gender issues

Background/Context

The regular production, analysis, broad dissemination, and utilization of detailed and disaggregated statistical data have become essential prerequisites for developing targeted, effective, inclusive, and sustainable public policies. These policies are crucial for addressing major inequalities, particularly gender inequalities, and for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Strengthening knowledge through qualitative and quantitative studies—especially by integrating gender into the production and analysis of statistics by the High Commission for Planning (HCP)—is a vital means to monitor the implementation of this cross-cutting gender policy.

• In partnership with the European Union, UN Women implements a programme aiming at supporting the integration of gender in the production and analysis of gender sensitive statistics. This project will contribute to these efforts by: (i) strengthening the technical capacity of the HCP in gender integration; (ii) enriching knowledge on gender inequalities; and (iii) widely disseminating gender analyses to support public policies and monitor Morocco’s commitments to gender equality and the achievement of the SDGs.
• To promote the strengthening of a facilitating environment, the HCP has been undertaking a series of actions for over two decades aimed at strengthening the national statistical framework in general, and gender-sensitive statistics in particular. To this end, it is crucial for HCP executives and human resources at both central and regional levels to acquire solid knowledge and skills on gender statistics production and use.  Building up on the successful action implemented throughout this partnership to strengthen the capacity of HCP executives from the Tanger regional direction on gender statistics, the HCP is aiming to fine-tune and scale up these trainings to target another region while enhancing and upgrading the training material.
• In this context, UN Women, in partnership with the HCP, seeks to recruit an expert to strengthen existing training materials on gender statistics, enhance and deploy interactive trainings targeting regional levels.

Purpose of the Assignment

In this context, UN Women, in partnership with the High Commission for Planning (HCP), seeks to hire a international consultant to train regional HCP managers and executives in the gender approach and gender-sensitive statistics, for better integration of the gender dimension in their coordination, collection, production, use, analysis, monitoring and evaluation, reporting and dissemination activities.

Scope of Work

• More specifically, the consultant is expected to adapt and strengthen existing training materials and to deliver training courses, which will provide HCP regional executives with the knowledge, technical skills, tools and practical materials to implement a gender approach in their work.
