The Ministry of Finance (MOF), as the Executing Agency, is implementing the following Asian Development Bank (ADB)-financed projects through its Integrated Project Implementation Unit (IPIU): the Border Efficiency for Sustainable Trade (BEST) Project (MON 55044-002), Loan Nos. 4419-MON and 4420-MON, and the Regional Improvement of Border Services (RIBS) Project (47174-001), including civil works and infrastructure improvements at designated border crossing points. Under these projects, the MOF is seeking to recruit a Gender Specialist as part of the Integrated Project Implementation Unit (IPIU) staff.
The projects incorporate gender mainstreaming measures through the Gender Action Plan (GAP) and relevant ADB requirements. The GAP includes gender-responsive border facility design, women's participation in trade and economic opportunities, capacity building for women and local communities, and measures addressing human trafficking and sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH). The PAM requires implementation of GAP activities throughout the project and includes SEAH training for border officials.
Objectives of the assignment: The Gender Specialist will be responsible for coordinating and monitoring implementation of the project's Gender Action Plan (GAP) and ensuring that gender considerations are appropriately integrated into project design, implementation, capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring; and support implementation of gender-related measures addressing human trafficking and SEAH, including the project's SEAH pilot activities associated with civil works.
Tasks and responsibilities: (i) Gender Mainstreaming and GAP Implementation: coordinate and monitor implementation of the GAP for both projects and ensure that gender commitments are incorporated into relevant subproject plans, designs, implementation activities, consultations, training, and monitoring; and review project and subproject documents from a gender perspective, identify implementation gaps, recommend corrective measures, and maintain an updated GAP implementation and monitoring matrix. (ii) Women's Economic Participation and Capacity Building: coordinate and monitor activities promoting women's participation in local economic and trade opportunities, including support for women herders, small and informal traders, women-led MSMEs, and other women in project areas. (iii) Stakeholder Consultation and Gender Inclusion: ensure meaningful participation of women in project consultations and stakeholder activities and coordinate with local authorities, border agencies, communities, traders, herders, MSMEs, NGOs, and other relevant stakeholders. (iv) Human Trafficking and SEAH: coordinate and monitor project activities related to human trafficking and SEAH prevention and response, including awareness raising and capacity building for border officials, project personnel, contractors, and relevant stakeholders; and (v) Monitoring, Reporting and Coordination: establish and maintain a gender monitoring system consistent with the GAP and project monitoring framework, collect and analyze sex-disaggregated data, and monitor progress against GAP targets and indicators.
