Found in: beBee jobs KE - 2 weeks ago

Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya Oxfam Full time
In Kenya, Oxfam works with others to alleviate poverty and inequality.

We work with the most vulnerable communities in the dry and remote northern regions, and in the impoverished slums of the capital, Nairobi.

In Kenya, the highest poverty levels are in the northern pastoralist districts - in some areas 95% of people fall below the poverty line.


SUMMARY


The Time to Care project intends to design effective strategies to reduce the prevalence of gender-based violence, discrimination, and work-related abuse for domestic workers in public and private spaces.

To this end the objective of this consultancy is to:

  • Understand the prevalence of gender-based violence for domestic workers in their world of work.
Identify the different forms of GBV they experience in their workplaces.

Identify root causes of GBV for domestic workers to deepen the understanding on why domestic workers are vulnerable to gender-based violence.

Conduct a review of laws and legislations on Gender Based Violence and to what extent they protect domestic workers in their workplaces.

Establish and recommend strategies in the prevention and management of GBV experienced by domestic workers.

METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH

The consultant(s) should be prepared to use appropriate qualitative and quantitative participatory data collection approaches and techniques that will guarantee quality and ethical compliance.

Oxfam expects the consultant(s) leading the assignment to use a gender lens.
The Research will include the review labor policies of the private sector (Paid Care Work).

To do so the research will review policy documents and review government policies that relate to care and work in the private sector.

The review will also focus on literature generated by the respective organizations focusing on their care work advocacy and programs/institutions.


Primary Data Collection:

The assignment will involve the development of a structured series of surveys, Key Informant Interviews/ Expert Consultations and other information gathering techniques that will be used in parallel to triangulate the data.

The consultants will apply the "Do No Harm" approach for primary data collection to ensure the protection and safety of the respondents.


Data collection and Instruments:

The identified consultant will develop relevant data collection tools and identify appropriate means of collecting the data which will be discussed and agreed upon with Oxfam prior to the data collection exercise.


ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

The consultant will put in place measures to ensure data collection adheres to all necessary ethics and guidelines provided by local laws on data protection and 'Do no Harm' standards, Oxfam safe programming and feminist principles.


KEY ACTIVITIES AND DELIVERABLES

The assignment will start upon signing of the contract between Oxfam and the successful consultant(s) or an otherwise agreed upon date.

The exact due dates for all deliverables will be finalized with Oxfam prior to submitting the inception report, so long as the dates continue to fall within the broad start and finish dates of the consultancy.

Oxfam envisions the review as a collaborative undertaking between itself, partner staff in Kenya and the successful consultant(s). We expect that the selected consultant(s) will engage with and provide feedback on a continual basis.

On our part, we commit to collaborating with the selected individual/team and to providing sufficient time for a back-and-forth approach.
