    Project Description :

    The United for Care-sensitive Approaches to Rights and Empowerment (UCARE) Project is a five-year project (2024-2029) funded by Global Affairs Canada that seeks to enhance the realization of women and adolescent girls’ rights to equal distribution of domestic work and reduced burden of unpaid care work in Northern Ghana.

    UCARE will work collaboratively with national partners, regional and local governments to create an evidence-based, gender-responsive and care-sensitive policy and programming environment, and with families in northern Ghana to improve the agency and decision making of women and adolescent girls to exercise their rights related to recognized and valued unpaid care work.

    The UCARE project will partner with local organizations SEND, NETRIGHT and women’s rights organizations using the Gender Model Families approach to recognize, reduce and redistribute the burden of UCW more equitably within households. UCARE will be implemented in 10 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in the Northern, Northeast and Savannah regions, covering both urban and rural communities, reaching 225,000 women and men, and adolescent girls and boys.

    About the work

    To support evidence-based advocacy and programming, UCARE seeks to document and disseminate global best practices and lessons from at least five countries that have made significant public investments in unpaid care services and infrastructure. The project aims to compile case studies that demonstrate how such investments reduce time poverty among women and adolescent girls.

    UCARE invites a consultant to lead the literature review, documentation and synthesis of these case studies. The findings will be used to advocate with policymakers, private sector actors, and civil society organizations about the experiences other countries have had prioritizing care-sensitive infrastructure, particularly with local governments in the project’s operational regions.

    The Role

    The consultant will be responsible for :

  • Developing a detailed literature / resource list and work plan, including selection criteria for country cases (to be submitted as an inception report for approval).
  • Conducting a desk review of existing documentation and virtual consultations (as appropriate) with experts and practitioners.
  • Compiling a comprehensive report presenting at least five country case studies on public investment in unpaid care services and infrastructure.
  • Producing a summary brief for advocacy purposes, highlighting key lessons and policy recommendations relevant to northern Ghana.
  • Preparing and delivering a presentation to the UCARE team and other stakeholders, outlining findings and implications for policy and programming.
  • All deliverables must be submitted in English, in editable Word / PDF formats for reports and PowerPoint for presentations. All deliverables will be reviewed and finalised in collaboration with the UCARE team.
  • Methodology, Activities, and Timeline

    The consultant will conduct a desk review of national policies, programmes, and implementation strategies from at least five selected countries that have invested in unpaid care infrastructure, focusing on their impact on time use, gender equality, and access to services. The consultant must adhere to ethical research standards, including informed consent and confidentiality, and comply with relevant data protection laws and organisational policies in both the selected countries and Ghana throughout the assignment.

  • Submission and approval of the inception report (LOE : 2 days)
