Orbis International: Gender Mainstreaming Consultant

 Gender Mainstreaming Consultant.

BACKGROUND

We are an international non-profit that brings people together to fight avoidable blindness. With our network of partners, we mentor, train, and inspire local teams to fight blindness in their communities. We believe that no one should live a life of unnecessary blindness, simply because of where they were born.

The Alcon-sponsored initiative “Building Extraordinary Human Resources: a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Road Map” aims to integrate an equity roadmap for women and the field of ophthalmology, as well as gender-based analysis within all programs at Orbis International.

The Gender Mainstreaming Consultant will serve with full-time availability, for 3 months, as the lead in the elaboration of gender mainstreaming strategies for the LAC Region. As such, the Consultant will regularly coordinate with Orbis’s Latin America and Caribbean Team as well as in-country partners and project stakeholders in Bolivia and Peru.  The successful consultant is based in Bolivia or Peru and should be able to start on the 1st of October 2022.
