The Building Back Equal (BBE) project aims to enhance the resilience of women's livelihoods, particularly those who are most marginalized, such as survivors of violence against women (VAW) and elderly women, across Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The project focuses on bolstering access to comprehensive social protection packages tailored to reduce unpaid care work burdens, alongside establishing reliable referral pathways inclusive of sexual and reproductive health services. Strengthening healthcare systems to ensure quality sexual and reproductive health services for women and youth is also a pivotal aspect of the project's strategy.

The project's theory of change hinges on the premise that by expanding access to subsidized childcare, reliable sexual and reproductive health services, climate and shock-responsive social protection, and opportunities for innovative financing and environmentally-friendly business practices, women, particularly the most marginalized, will achieve economic resilience. This resilience, in turn, is anticipated to enhance productivity and contribute to national development, thereby fostering a more equitable society. Under the auspices of UN Women, the project is structured to address critical areas such as childcare, eldercare, and care for persons with disabilities, while also examining gender dynamics within taxation policies to promote equality.

The Gender and Development Economist, operating under the supervision of UN Women, will spearhead two crucial studies: the Care Economy Study and the Gender, Taxation, and Equality Study. These studies aim to elucidate the nuances of care work, both paid and unpaid, and its economic impact, while also scrutinizing tax policies for their gender implications. By conducting comprehensive research and delivering actionable recommendations, these studies endeavor to inform policy decisions and foster dialogue among stakeholders, including policymakers, parliamentarians, civil society organizations, and private sector entities, to drive meaningful change towards gender equality and inclusive economic development in the target countries.

Applications are to be made through the UNDP portal ...
