UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace, and security.

In the Arab States region, the UN Women’s “Men and Women for Gender Equality” (MWGE) regional programme -funded by Sweden
- aims to promote changes in social norms and behaviors to enable men and women to exercise their rights and opportunities equally in six countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia.

The MWGE programme has implemented community-based interventions to promote positive masculinities and gender equality in partnership with CSOs and CBOs in four of the six target countries: Lebanon, Palestine, Morocco, and Egypt. The evaluations of these community-based interventions documented impactful changes in attitudes and behaviors of men and women in different aspects related to gender equality. These evaluations also helped to identify the most effective techniques to shift attitudes and behaviors of men and women for gender equality, namely the peer-to-peer and positive deviant approaches with men, women, and young people.

Based on the comprehensive results and learnings so far, the MWGE programme aims to develop a unique and never-seen-before model for the transformation of patriarchal masculinities and social norms at the community level, using the unpaid care and domestic work of men and boys as an entry point. This model is expected to effectively reduce the gender gap between men and women in unpaid care and domestic work, and promote gender equality further in those communities, especially in women’s economic empowerment. Rather than merely impacting on few direct beneficiaries of the interventions, the model is expected to produce a positive impact on significant percentages of the total populations from these communities (at least 25-30% of communities’ populations), and to alter patriarchal social norms and behaviors, resulting in a reduction of the gender gap between men and women in unpaid care and domestic work, increased participation of women in the labor market and decision making, more women’s economic empowerment and a reduction of the prevalence of intimate partner violence.

This model is projected to become a best practice in the MENA region and beyond, and therefore needs to be thoroughly designed so that the model can achieve greater and more impactful results than previous community-based interventions implemented by UN Women and partners. Thus, the model needs to build upon lessons learned and improved methodologies, techniques, and approaches to previous experiences. The model will include concrete and practical methodologies, approaches, tools, techniques, identification of stakeholders involved in its implementation, etc. that will serve as guidelines to UN Women and partners to implement and test the model in selected communities.

In coordination with UN Women Regional Office for the Arab States (ROAS) and respective country offices, the consultant will help to identify the communities from the six countries in which the model will be implemented and tested in the future, including their demographics and socio-economic characteristics. He/she will also help to identify the stakeholders that will be involved in the implementation and monitoring of the model. The consultant will also help to identify the cost of the initiatives and partnerships involved, in consultation with UN Women ROAS and Country Offices.

In close coordination with the UN Women team -and especially with the M&E consultants and experts of ROAS and Country Offices-, the consultant will also develop a comprehensive Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) system that includes a detailed list of indicators and targets to measure the impact of the model at the community level, and that reflects changes in social norms for GEWE within those communities.

**About the Position**:
