Role Summary
Solidarités International seeks a consultant for a project in Yemen focused on women's economic empowerment and agency assessment to strengthen local livelihoods.
About the Organisation
Solidarités International (SI) is an international humanitarian organization that has been providing life-saving assistance and supporting vulnerable populations affected by conflict, disasters, and climate-related crises for more than 40 years. SI specializes in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food security and livelihoods (FSL), shelter, and disaster risk reduction, while promoting integrated approaches that strengthen resilience and support sustainable recovery. SI has been operating in Yemen since 2017, implementing humanitarian, early recovery, and resilience programmes in partnership with national authorities, local organizations, and communities. Through its integrated programming, SI supports vulnerable households by improving access to water resources, strengthening agricultural production systems, restoring natural resources, promoting climate-resilient livelihoods, and enhancing local capacities for sustainable resource management.
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. 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.
Key Responsibilities
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. Key tasks include:
- Desk Review and Consolidation of Existing Evidence
- Primary Data Collection (household surveys, KIIs, FGDs, market observations)
- Analysis of Social Norms, Time-Poverty, and Protection Risks
- Financial Inclusion, VSLA, and Digital Ecosystems Analysis
- Enterprise Development, Cooperatives, and B2B Networks Analysis
- Vulnerable Group Profiling and Intersectionality Mapping
- Market Actors, Commercial Linkages and Partnership Models
- Progression Pathways, Targeting, and Graduation Frameworks
- Ethics, Safeguarding, and Data Protection
Eligibility Criteria
This consultancy is focused on local applicants in Yemen, specifically assessing women's economic empowerment within targeted districts.
