Policy and GESI Barrier Analysis Consultancy

SNV Zimbabwe with funding support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Embassy of Sweden in Harare is implementing Phase II of the Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship project (YEE) Project. The project aims to enhance the livelihoods and future prospects of 13000 out-of-school youth (at least 50% of whom are young women) by promoting green employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in agri-food systems renewable energy and other emerging sectors.

The YEE project adopts a Pull-Match-Push-Enable framework strategically integrating private sector actors service providers and public institutions to promote sustainable youth employment pathways. Despite progress youth unemployment and underemployment remain significant challenges especially for young women who face intersecting Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) barriers. While national and local policies exist to address these issues the effectiveness uptake and implementation at the local level remain uneven. SNV therefore seek to engage one (1) Policy and GESI Barriers Analysis consultant to conduct a comprehensive policy (both national and localized) and barrier analysis across 8 districts identifying actionable policy entry pathways and institutional gaps for more inclusive youth economic empowerment.
