Description

Project Context and Scope The Climate Mobility Innovation Lab (CMIL), hosted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), was established to address the nexus between human mobility and climate change, and the challenges this intersection presents. The Lab aims to be at the forefront of fostering innovation and partnerships to address the complex challenges posed by climate change and human mobility in Africa. Climate change affects communities in multiple ways and the burdens of this is often felt differently across genders, in particular with regards to vulnerable populations. Moreover, the consequences of climate change has a gendered dimension that remains poorly understood. As a result, the solutions developed for communities to adapt to climate change should be inclusive of this dimension to achieve equal and inclusive results for all. To achieve this, CMIL Africa will commission a gender-sensitive needs assessment to identify key challenges and opportunities related to the gendered impacts of climate change and mobility. The results will inform strategy, programming, and capacity development, ensuring interventions are inclusive, evidence-based, and aligned with local realities. The results of the needs assessment will be closely aligned with the work of CMIL on data and research, ensuring that results are cross cutting. The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Head of CMIL Africa. The consultant will also coordinate closely with the Climate Action Division in HQ, CMIL in Asia and the Pacific, CAD Regional Thematic Specialists, counterparts in IOM missions, and other colleagues.
