<p><br></p><p>Brief about the Project</p><p>The THRIVE Project has been developed alongside the DG MENA-WASL Project to strengthen climate-resilient livelihoods and inclusive agriculture systems in Taiz Governorate through an integrated watershed management approach. The program adopts an area-based strategy that recognizes the interdependence between natural resources, agriculture production, local institutions and market systems. The project is implemented by a consortium of international and national partners under the leadership of SI, alongside BCFHD and Al Tawasul. Under the SDC-funded component, the project directly supports efforts to improve local market resilience, agriculture production and gender equity.</p><p>The THRIVE Project requires an implementation-oriented assessment to better understand the opportunities, barriers, and enabling conditions for women's economic empowerment within the target districts.</p><p>Objectives of the Consultancy Assignment</p><p>The overall objective of this assignment is to conduct a comprehensive Women's Economic Empowerment, Agency and Enterprise Ecosystem Assessment that generates the evidence required to strengthen women's economic inclusion and inform the THRIVE Project's implementation. Specifically, the assessment aims to:</p><ul><li>Assess women's roles, participation, leadership, agency, bargaining power, and decision-making across relevant agricultural and livestock activities, value-chain functions, post-harvest activities, value addition and enterprise development with a focus on the priority value chains selected through the program process.</li><li>Assess women's access to and control over productive assets, natural resources, agricultural inputs, technologies, extension services, information, financial services, VSLAs, enterprise financing, and digital financial ecosystems, and identify barriers to their economic participation, financial inclusion, and resilience.</li><li>Analyse the social, institutional, cultural, household and gender-related factors influencing women's economic empowerment, including gender norms, mobility restrictions, unpaid care responsibilities, literacy and digital literacy, intra-household decision-making, control over resources and income.</li><li>Identify the specific constraints, risks, vulnerabilities, and economic opportunities affecting women from different social groups, including female-headed households, young women, women with disabilities, IDPs, Muhamasheen communities, and women breadwinners.</li><li>Assess safeguarding, economic violence, exploitation, indebtedness, exclusion, elite capture, and other risks affecting women's safe participation in livelihoods, enterprise development, financial inclusion, and market systems.</li><li>Assess and map the gender-relevant enterprise and financial ecosystem influencing women's economic empowerment, identifying practical opportunities for sustainable market engagement and partnership.</li><li>Identify evidence-based pathways for beneficiary targeting, sequencing, graduation, financial inclusion, market integration, institutional coordination and adaptive program implementation.</li></ul><p>Key Responsibilities of the Consultant (Methodology, Scope of Service, Tasks)</p><p>Methodology: The assessment shall apply an integrated women's economic empowerment and market-systems analytical framework that distinguishes: (i) access to, use of and control over resources and services; (ii) participation, influence, leadership and collective voice; (iii) entrepreneurial interest, readiness and commercial feasibility; and (iv) immediate constraints and their underlying household, institutional and market-system causes. The consultant will adopt a mixed-method, implementation-oriented approach that combines secondary data review, quantitative and qualitative field research, participatory consultations, and market systems analysis.</p><p>Scope of Service and Tasks: The assessment will focus on the gender-specific dimensions of economic participation, including women's agency, decision-making, mobility, control over assets and income, gender norms, safety and safeguarding, access to services and finance, and the barriers and enabling conditions that determine whether women can participate in and benefit from selected economic opportunities.</p><p>Key tasks include:</p><ul><li>Desk Review and Consolidation of Existing Evidence</li><li>Primary Data Collection (household surveys, KIIs, FGDs, market observations)</li><li>Analysis of Social Norms, Time-Poverty, and Protection Risks</li><li>Financial Inclusion, VSLA, and Digital Ecosystems Analysis</li><li>Enterprise Development, Cooperatives, and B2B Networks Analysis</li><li>Vulnerable Group Profiling and Intersectionality Mapping</li><li>Market Actors, Commercial Linkages and Partnership Models</li><li>Progression Pathways, Targeting, and Graduation Frameworks</li><li><br></li></ul><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p><br></p>

<p>The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian organization, working to save lives and combat hunger globally. In Yemen, one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises continues to drive widespread food insecurity and vulnerability. According to the 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), an estimated 22.3 million people require humanitarian assistance, including 18.3 million people in need of food security and livelihood support. WFP's response focuses on saving lives, protecting livelihoods, and improving food consumption among the most vulnerable populations through life-saving food assistance and nutrition interventions. To support evidence-based programming and strategic decision-making, WFP Yemen's Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM) unit leads food security monitoring, assessments, and analysis across the country. The unit conducts large-scale food security and livelihood assessments, market monitoring, beneficiary monitoring, and other analytical activities that generate critical information on food security conditions, market trends, household vulnerabilities, and humanitarian needs. These efforts provide the evidence base for Programme design, targeting, operational planning, donor engagement, resource mobilization, and advocacy. The VAM unit manages and analyzes a wide range of datasets and produces regular analytical products, including monthly food security updates, quarterly food security and market monitoring and market functionality assessments. Through rigorous data collection, analysis, and reporting, the unit plays a central role in informing WFP's response and supporting humanitarian decision-making across Yemen.</p><p>The VAM Officer (Statistician) will support the design, implementation, and analysis of food security assessments and surveys by applying sound statistical methodologies and ensuring the quality, accuracy, and reliability of data collected by WFP Yemen. The position is responsible for conducting statistical analyses and modeling, developing sampling methodologies, managing survey datasets, and producing evidence-based findings to inform food security monitoring, Programme implementation, and humanitarian response.

These challenges have weakened governance systems, disrupted economic activity, and increased poverty, food insecurity, and vulnerability across the country.&nbsp;</p><br> <p>&nbsp;While humanitarian assistance remains essential, sustainable recovery requires longer-term investments in livelihoods, economic resilience, local governance, institutional strengthening, and climate-resilient agriculture.&nbsp;</p><br> <p>&nbsp;UNDP is implementing a portfolio of complementary projects to address these interconnected challenges. This includes the Resilient Economies and Sustainable Livelihoods for Empowerment in Yemen (RESOLVE) project funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) ; the Local Governance for Area-based Development (LoGABD) project funded by the European Union (EU) ; and the Climate-Resilient Agriculture and Job Opportunities in Yemen (SANABEL) project, also funded by the EU. These projects are designed with a synergistic, area-based approach to maximize impact and efficiency.&nbsp;</p><br> <p>&nbsp;RESOLVE (SDC) focuses on strengthening the resilience and economic empowerment of vulnerable communities in Marib and Hadramout governorates by promoting sustainable livelihoods through agribusiness development, agricultural value chain strengthening, improved access to finance, and enhanced local economic governance.&nbsp;</p><br> <p>&nbsp;LoGABD (EU) aims to strengthen the capacity of local authorities across seven governorates (Aden, Hadramout, Lahj, Marib, Taiz, Al Mahrah, Socotra) to effectively plan, budget, finance, and deliver public services, manage IDP populations, and foster climate resilience. It focuses on institutionalizing training hubs, improving public financial management, completing community-prioritized public works, and operationalizing Local Economic Development Councils and Local Development Funds.&nbsp;</p><br> <p>&nbsp;SANABEL (EU) is a joint FAO-UNDP project focused on climate-resilient agriculture and job creation. It aims to increase crop and livestock productivity through Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) and ecosystem-based adaptation (led by FAO) and strengthen climate-resilient agricultural value chains to generate decent jobs, formalized businesses, and inclusive economic growth (led by UNDP).&nbsp;</p><br> <p>By combining these three projects under one management umbrella, this position will ensure coherent and integrated implementation, maximize synergies, and leverage UNDP's expertise in governance, economic recovery, and resilience building. This portfolio approach aligns with the Area-Based Development (ABD) framework, ensuring that local priorities, as articulated in Governorate Economic and Social Development Plans, are effectively addressed. The incumbent will report to the UNDP Team Leader -Governance &amp; Peacebuilding Portfolio and will provide strategic leadership and day-to-day management to the combined project team.&nbsp;</p><br> <p>The role requires exceptional leadership, strategic coordination, and stakeholder management skills, with a particular emphasis on governance and institutional strengthening,and the ability to deliver results across multiple complex and fragile environments.&nbsp;</p><br> <p><strong>&nbsp;2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Scope of Work&nbsp;</strong></p><br> <p>&nbsp;Under the direct supervision of the Project Manager, the National Project Specialist&nbsp; will play a critical leadership role in the successful implementation of the integrated project portfolio.

<p><br></p><p>General context of the project While the armed conflict entered its 12th year, Yemen remains one of the largest humanitarian crisis. The country s deteriorating economy, the protracted conflict and crumbling basic services are exacerbating humanitarian needs across the country. Meanwhile, climate shocks, increased regional tensions and chronic underfunding of critical humanitarian sectors are further worsening people s vulnerability and suffering. Four years since the UN- brokered truce, international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) operating in Yemen warn that humanitarian conditions are more fragile than at any point since the peak years of the response. Over 22.2 million people 1 continue to face dire humanitarian conditions, struggling to meet basic needs and access essential services amid protracted crisis, economic deterioration, aid cuts, displacement and climate-related shocks. Furthermore, the escalating conflict in the Middle East and the wider region threatens to exacerbate the dire economic situation and could trigger a resumption of large-scale armed conflict within Yemen. These regional shifts risk disrupting vital humanitarian and commercial supply chains and inflating the cost of essential goods. INTERSOS, in collaboration with local partners, has been providing essential health, nutrition, protection, water and sanitation, as well as livelihoods support for the vulnerable people across Yemen since 2008. While INTERSOS operational presence has been impacted by the signficant funding downsize in the last few years, the integrated programming serving the most vulnerable communities (IDPs, migrants, people at hightened protection risks) continues providing essential lifesaving aid.</p><p>General purpose of the position Support the Head of Mission in the development, definition and management of the mission program in accordance with INTERSOS strategies, plans and policies.
