Economic justice Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)Background:UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
In Moldova, promoting gender equality is a national priority aligned with the UN Women Strategic Note (2023–2027) and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.
Gender-responsive public procurement (GRP) is a key tool to advance women's economic empowerment, increase participation of women-led enterprises in public tenders, and integrate gender equality into supply chains and public spending.
Gender-responsive procurement (GRP) as part of the women’s empowerment principles, is a powerful tool to boost women's economic empowerment, promote gender equality, and build more equitable societies. It contributes to the implementation of the Women Empowerment Principle nr. 5 “Implement enterprise development, supply chain and marketing practices that empower women” aiming to facilitate the participation of women-led small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in public procurement, infusing gender equality throughout the supply chain, diversifying male-dominated sectors, and supporting supply chain diversification, among other initiatives. Gender-responsive procurement should be understood not only as supporting women-led businesses to get public procurement contracts, but also as supporting gender-responsive enterprises regardless of ownership, thereby potentially allowing all women and men to benefit from decent business and employment opportunities.
RationaleGRP is a relatively new concept for Moldova. Some of the international corporations in Moldova implement it as part of their CSR commitments at regional and international level. However, the level of public procurement in Moldova GRP is not directly considered. The need to integrate gender-responsive measures in public procurement was identified and agreed upon by the members of the Economic Council under the Prime Minister and, as a result, included in the Road Map on Women Economic Empowerment of the Economic Council.
By incorporating gender equality measures into the public procurement process, GRP supports the socio-economic benefits of gender equality. Positively impacting the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and promoting economic growth, implementing gender equality measures in procurement enhances the economy's productivity, resulting in improved quality and pricing of goods and services.
Education and Certification:- Master’s degree in public administration, social studies, finance, gender studies, and/or any other degree relevant to the requirements of the TOR;
- A first-level university degree (bachelor's), combined with four additional years of qualifying experience, may be accepted in lieu of the advanced university degree.
Experience:- A minimum of 5 years of work experience in the public procurement system, including progressive expertise in gender-responsive procurement, etc is required.
- Previous experience working with public authorities to enhance their capacities and improve processes and strategies, preferably in the field of public procurement is required.

Climate & Environmental justice Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI) Generic (e.g. 'gender focal point' roleObjective and Purpose of the AssignmentADB proposes to provide technical assistance (TA) to help NCECC develop and begin implementing a Gender Strategy and Action Plan for the ecological sector. This work builds on earlier gender mainstreaming efforts in the sector: under programs supported by ADB and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the former Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change was supported to develop a Climate Change Gender Action Plan, which provides an important foundation and point of reference for the present assignment. The TA responds to a Government request and complements Uzbekistan'sexisting commitments under CEDAW, the 2030 Agenda, SDG 5 on gender equality, SDG 13 on climate action, and the national gender equality framework.
Objectives of the Assignment
The assignment will strengthen gender mainstreaming in Uzbekistan's environmental governance by supporting NCECC to develop, validate, and begin implementing a sector-wide Gender Strategy and a costed, time-bound Gender Action Plan.
The specific objectives are to:
1. Build a solid evidence base through a gender analysis of the ecological sector, including policies, institutions, workforce composition, and sex-disaggregated environmental data.
2. Develop a Gender Strategy and accompanying Action Plan for the ecological sector, aligned with national legislation, ADB Strategy 2030, and international commitments.
3. Strengthen the capacity of NCECC and its subordinate bodies to integrate gender into policy, planning, budgeting, programming, and monitoring.
4. Design a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework with gender-sensitive indicators and a baseline for tracking implementation.
5. Support the initial implementation phase, including the establishment of gender focal points and a coordination mechanism.
This assignment will be carried out by a small two-person team - one international consultant and one national consultant - engaged intermittently and recruited individually in line with ADB policies and procedures. Together, they will cover the full scope of work in Section 3, including cross-cutting tasks on gender-responsive budgeting, monitoring and evaluation, and community engagement.Minimum Qualification Requirements• Advanced university degree in environmental policy, natural resource management, climate change, economics, public administration, or a related field.
• At least 8 years of relevant experience in environmental or climate policy, planning, or programming in Uzbekistan or Central Asia.
• Strong knowledge of Uzbekistan's environmental legal and institutional framework, the green economy and climate agenda, including NDCs, and NCECC's structure and mandate.
• Experience in stakeholder engagement and field consultations, and the ability to support gender analysis and gender-sensitive monitoring under the guidance of the Team Leader; familiarity with gender mainstreaming is an advantage.
• Fluency in Uzbek and Russian and working knowledge of English are required; established networks with government and civil society are an advantage.*When clicking on “Apply”, you will be redirected to the original job announcement and details

We believe generosity isn’t just about what you give; it’s about who you become. Through our signature Pathway experience, local engagement events, and research-backed resources, we walk alongside women as they discover what it means to be biblically motivated, purpose-filled, and passionate about making an eternal difference.
Our work is rooted in the belief that when women embrace generosity with their time, talents, resources and influence, they don’t just change their own lives – they transform families, communities and generations.

Digital rightsAbout Pollicy
Pollicy is a feminist collective of technologists, researchers, creatives, and organisers working at the intersection of data, design, and technology to shape more just and inclusive societies.
Grounded in Africa, we believe that data and digital systems can expand freedom, dignity, and opportunity when governed ethically and collectively. Through research, storytelling, capacity strengthening, movement building, and policy engagement, we work alongside communities, governments, and partners to influence how digital systems are imagined, built, and governed across the continent.
Our work blends intellectual rigour with creative practice from policy briefs and public dialogue to games, murals, zines, and artistic interventions centering voices historically excluded from technology decision-making.
As we enter our next chapter, we are seeking an Executive Director who will help steward Pollicy's vision, nurture its culture, and guide the organisation through a period of continued growth, influence, and innovation.

The Executive Director will provide strategic, organisational, and people-centred leadership, ensuring that Pollicy remains ambitious, resilient, and deeply rooted in its values while continuing to influence conversations on technology, data, and digital governance across Africa and beyond.
The role requires someone who can hold complexity with steadiness, balance accountability with compassion, and lead with both imagination and humility.

● Is deeply people-centred and builds trust across diverse teams.
● Embodies feminist leadership principles in practice, not only in language.
● Balances accountability with compassion and humility.
● Leads with emotional intelligence and integrity.
● Navigates complexity with steadiness and clarity.
● Holds a long-term vision while delivering tangible results.
● Is comfortable working across disciplines, cultures, and geographies.

● Significant leadership experience within nonprofit, research, policy, civic technology, or social justice environments.
● Strong understanding of digital policy, technology ecosystems, data governance, and/or social justice issues.
● Proven track record in fundraising and partnership development.
● Experience leading teams and organisational operations.
● Demonstrated commitment to equity, inclusion, and feminist principles.
● Experience working across African contexts or global development ecosystems.
● Familiarity with Pollicy's intellectual traditions, including Afrofeminist approaches to technology and creative methodologies.
