National Individual Consultant -To Plan and Implement a Media
Retreat on Gender and Devp. - UN Women
Background
While Africa’s development and economic integration continues
apace, research indicates that unleashing the economic potential of the
continent’s women would yield even greater results for development.
There is mounting evidence that economic growth rates in Africa
are being held back by the gap in opportunities available to the genders. As
recently as March 2012, a study found that annually, the gender gap in labour
participation and education creates economic losses for Africa of over $159
billion, and possibly as high as $255 billion.
In an effort to redress this, UN Women’s goal is to unleash the
potential of Africa’s women, for the benefit of all, by promoting female
leadership in business, politics and the non-government sector, and by
advocating publicly in support of gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Given the key role played by the media in raising issues for
public debate and discussion and mobilizing public opinion in favour of
inclusivity and progress, UN Women sees East African media houses, journalists
and new media practitioners as vital partners in this endeavor.
Therefore, UN Women wishes to engage the services of a skilled
and well-established consultant to ensure
the successful implementation of a one and a half day media retreat, to be held on 13 and 14 December 2012.
