Consultancy for Desk Review Study on the Nexus between Care, Humanitarian Crisis
The purpose of this desk review study is to comprehensively analyse the nexus between care work, and humanitarian crises in climate change and violent conflict within the context of Oxfam's ongoing initiatives in Africa. This study will utilize existing literature, project reports, policy documents, relevant databases and expert interviews to provide a nuanced understanding of how these elements interconnect, particularly with an emphasis on gender dynamics and the implications for marginalized populations.
Objectives
Literature Review: Conduct a thorough review of existing research and publications on unpaid care work including existing time use survey contextualising care in relation to climate change and violent conflict humanitarian crises. This will include academic articles, policy briefs, and case studies relevant to the African context.
Mapping Intersections: Identify and analyse the interplay between care work, climate change and conflict humanitarian challenges in the selected countries (Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Niger). Highlight the unique factors that exacerbate the care work responsibilities on women and other marginalized groups.
Gender Dynamics Assessment: Evaluate how gender roles influence the distribution of care work during crises and the ways in which climate change and conflict exacerbates these roles. This will include exploring the physical, psychological and socio-economic implications of care responsibilities on women's empowerment and participation in recovery efforts.
Recommendations for Policy and Programming: Based on the findings, provide actionable recommendations for policy advocacy, program design, and interventions that promote gender justice and support care systems in the context of climate change and conflict humanitarian crises.
Deliverables
Desk Review Report: A comprehensive report detailing the findings of the literature review and case studies, including a synthesis of data and insights on the nexus between care, and humanitarian crises.
Policy Brief: A concise policy brief summarizing key findings and recommendations tailored for stakeholders, including government bodies, NGOs, and community organizations.
Presentation: Develop a presentation to share the findings and recommendations with Oxfam staff and relevant partners, facilitating discussions on future actions and interventions.
Timeline
The assignment will span three months, during which the consultant will undertake the desk review, analysis, and report preparation, adhering to set deadlines for deliverables. Regular check-ins with the Commissioning Manager and other relevant team members will ensure alignment with Oxfam's goals and expectations.
