**Background**:
UN Women Regional Office for the Arab States (ROAS) adopted its strategic plan for 2022-2025 in March 2022. In the strategic plan, it is highlighted that one of the key priorities to achieve gender equality in the Arab States is the speedy acceleration of women’s employment throughout the region, which has hovered around 21% since the 1990s. To address this, UN Women is embarking on a large-scale, innovative multi-country framework and program to surge women’s employment in 7 countries (3 in North Africa, 2 in the Levante and 2 in the Gulf).
The initial phase of research for programme concept design was concluded in May 2022 by the UN Women Regional Office Working. During that time, multi-country analytics focused on the factors behind the stagnated levels of women’s employment in the Arab States, looking at not only challenges but, more specifically, on distinct opportunities that could accelerate women’s employment in the region. The analysis established the need for a multi-disciplinary approach, bringing together efforts to shift social norms, reduce the burden of care work, target key sectors with important growth opportunities, improve laws and policies, and strategically use social and mass media to bring about these changes. The strategy has a strong emphasis on the role of the private sector, focusing on three sectors, with distinct business cases in each. Lastly, the approach seeks to guarantee sustainable finance to deliver on this agenda through a shift to gender-responsive budgeting and blended finance.
The regional multipronged framework will be implemented across several countries, with Egypt being one of them. To ensure strong national ownership and relevance of the regional framework’s implementation in Egypt, the UN Women Country Office for Egypt will work closely with its key government partners, private sector, and research institutions to contextualize the programme to national priorities and local context. In so doing, the UN Women Country Office in Egypt will ensure that the future work supports Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women 2030, coming under the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF 2023-2027). This will be done through national consultations and analytical work on relevant themes and economic sectors. To support this process, UN Women Egypt Country Office is looking to engage the services of a National Consultant on Women’s Economic Empowerment to support the following:
- Convening of an ad hoc consultative working group made up of key government partners and national experts to oversee the fleshing out and nationally contextualizing the regional framework’s implementation in the country.
- Stakeholder consultation and facilitate co-creation of the employment programme.
- The development of the country's women’s economic empowerment profile under the regional framework, ensuring up-to-date statistics and analysis in key sectors and to contribute to the Regional Office’s calculations of overall employment projections.
- Fleshing out the strategies and steps to be used in Egypt to create an enabling environment for women’s employment, including identifying with partners any key policy and legal reforms.
- Contribute to sector assessments to support women’s employment in Egypt.
- Support the development of a sustainable finance component to be used by UN Women’s partners (IFIs, MDBs, others) to advance women’s employment.
- Based on the above, and working with the ad hoc consultative working group, support the development of a country-specific implementation plan under the regional framework.
The national consultant will work under the overall guidance of the UN Women Egypt CO Country Representative and the Deputy Regional Director for the UN Women Regional Office for Arab States leading the WEE team in ROAS.
**Duties and Responsibilities**:
**1. Develop a detailed workplan to achieve necessary country contextualization of the regional framework**:
- Develop a detailed workplan for the Egypt CO on how to contextualize the regional employment framework and its inception, following the guidelines and outlines established by the Regional Office and the country-level ad hoc consultative working group.
- Undertake a desk review and develop a country context analysis aligned to the themes and sectors of interest to complement the employment projections, particularly referring to the accelerators and enablers of the employment programme. Finalize the country context analysis based on feedback from UN Women and the ad hoc co
