Regional Expert on Gender and Economic Policy Management
UNDP and the Korea Institute for Gender Equality and Education (KIGEPE) invite applications from suitable experts for a regional Training of Trainers (TOT) on Gender Responsive Economic Policy Management scheduled for October 26-30 2011 in Seoul, Korea. The objective of the TOT is to create a pool of regional experts in the area of gender responsive economic policy management who will be trained on the products and services of GEPMI-AP. UNDP and KIGEPE may draw upon the pool of experts to serve as trainers at the three week Short Course on Gender Responsive Economic Policy Management scheduled for 2012 in Seoul, Korea. They may also be requested, where necessary, to respond to countries’ requests for tailored capacity development and advisory services. The 2012 short course is one of the three components of the global Gender and Economic Policy Management Initiative (GEPMI), a capacity development and advisory service UNDP developed in 2010 to accelerate the achievement of the MDGs by making poverty reduction strategies and economic policies deliver equitably to women and men, girls and boys. This short course consists of twelve modules addressing the most critical gender issues in all aspects of economic policy management (economic analysis, policy analysis, poverty reduction, statistics, employment, unpaid care work, macroeconomics, trade, taxation, medium term expenditure framework and budget). The two other components of GEPMI are: (i) GEPMI-Tailored Country level advisory services and capacity building workshops to respond to countries’ specific needs. These services are delivered by our team of regional experts whose quality we assure through regular training and continuous knowledge sharing; (ii) A Master’s of Arts in Gender-Aware Economics (MGAE), the first of its kind in the world, responding to a long-term objective of generating a new cadre of economists capable of integrating gender as a variable for economic analysis and a key determinant of economic policy management. Target participants: The TOT targets regional experts and trainers in economics, statistics, socio-economics, gender and economics, economic planning who once trained will be part of the regional pool of experts and trainers on gender and economic policy management.
