Climate Responsive Social Protection Consultant
This job posting has closed
CARE International in Vietnam is seeking a Climate Responsive Social Protection Consultant. Under the Integrated Community-based Adaptation in the Mekong (ICAM) project, CARE in Vietnam undertook an internal Scoping Study of ‘adaptive social protection’ (ASP) mechanisms to identify opportunities for CARE Vietnam to engage in ASP or social protection for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction focused on remote ethnic minority women. The study synthesized learning from the ICAM and other CARE Vietnam projects and identified a number of ASP mechanisms for potential replication, upscaling and advocacy.
A Climate Responsive Social Protection Consultant is now required to:
a) synthesize the Scoping Study findings in a format that is appropriate for public distribution; and
b) build on the Scoping Study findings by developing practical and detailed recommendations for integrated climate change adaption and social protection program interventions, benefiting remote ethnic minority women.
Key Responsibilities
The Climate Responsive Social Protection Consultant will use the findings of CARE Vietnam’s scoping study on adaptive social protection to undertake the following, in close collaboration with the CARE Vietnam climate change and gender teams:
- Review the adaptive social protection scoping study report and identify gaps and findings that require additional research and/or validation
- Undertake additional desk research (e.g. on climate finance flows) and facilitate broader consultation with government, NGOs and other stakeholders to fill gaps and validate findings, as required. CARE Vietnam will be responsible to facilitate the consultations in Vietnam, mainly with Government stakeholders
- Write and design a short brief (approximately 8-10 pages) for a public audience within and outside of Vietnam, outlining the findings of the adaptive social protection scoping study and highlighting ICAM as a case study
- Draw on the ASP scoping study findings to develop and document comprehensive , targeted recommendations for integrated climate change adaption and social protection programming in Vietnam and the Mekong region, focused on remote ethnic minority women
