DT Global is seeking a Gender Economist to provide a range of services to the Office of the Pacific (OTP), within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), on the Pacific COVID-19 Response Package.
The economic and fiscal impacts of COVID-19 in the Pacific are sharper and deeper than the region has previously experienced. Even without a significant outbreak of COVID-19, the economic shock has the potential to wipe out over a decade of economic growth in many of the Pacific island countries (PICs).
The COVID-19 crisis disproportionately affects women and girls in the Pacific, with negative impacts felt across all countries and all sectors. Health and economic stresses, isolation, and reduced mobility increase the vulnerability of women and girls to violence.
In line with Australia’s COVID-19 development policy: Partnerships for Recovery: Australia’s Development Response, DFAT has designed a Pacific COVID-19 Response Package to help PICs (and Timor-Leste) respond to and recover from COVID-19. The Package will provide direct funding of A$250 million over two years to eligible countries, designed to contribute to:
DFAT is looking to engage a Gender Economist to:
Working under the guidance of DFAT’s OTP, the consultant will specifically be responsible for the following tasks:
Given the current and likely future constraints on travel, the work will be largely home-based, but will involve considerable consultation and engagement (virtual and – where possible and depending on the consultant’s location – in-person) with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
The successful candidate will initially be hired as a consultant under the Innovation Resource Facility, managed by DT Global. Reporting to OTP’s Economic Policy and Programming Section, the initial appointment will run until 5 November 2021, but if successful, there may be scope to continue to engage the consultant’s services under other arrangements. DFAT expects that given the urgency of work related to the immediate needs of the package, the initial assignment will take most of the successful candidate’s time.
