To make this vision a reality, we need transformations in vital agri-food, energy, and water systems. SNV contributes by strengthening capacities and catalysing partnerships in these sectors.

For more information on SNV, please refer to our website: www.snv.org Job Description Overview of the Assignment Persistent poverty, climate-induced shocks, land degradation, and underperforming agricultural markets continue to limit the progress of smallholder farmers in Uganda. These challenges are particularly acute in livestock-based livelihoods, where poor access to markets, unsustainable land use practices, and low productivity converge to suppress living incomes. The effects are felt most across regions like Busoga, Rwenzori, Greater Ankole, and Kigezi—where rural households rely heavily on agriculture and livestock as both a source of income and nutrition. In response, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV), with funding from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in Kampala, is implementing a transformative five-year programme (2024–2029) that aims to increase the living income and resilience of 75,000 smallholder farmer (SHF) households through livestock-centered development. Recognising the need for systemic change, the project moves beyond conventional approaches and adopts Participatory Integrated Planning (PIP) as a foundational methodology to empower SHFs to lead their own development trajectories. By building farmers’ adaptive capacity and fostering integrated planning at the household level, the project will promote sustainable land use, improved livestock productivity, better access to inclusive markets, and enhanced food and nutrition security. The INCLUDE project is firmly anchored in two interrelated outcome areas: sustainable production and inclusive livestock markets. These will be advanced through a locally embedded, ecosystem-based model that brings together public, private, and civil society actors. This is not a traditional top-down project; rather, it is a farmer-centric initiative that values co-creation, continuous learning, and long-term sustainability. Implementation will be led by regional teams, with a total of 32 committed staff under the strategic leadership of the Project Manager. The Project Manager will ensure quality execution, oversee relations with strategic partners, build relations with the private sector, serve as the primary liaison with EKN, and champion transparent reporting and knowledge sharing with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the project’s ambition translates into meaningful change on the ground. Overview of the Position: As the Project Manager for the INCLUDE project under SNV Uganda’s Agri-Food Sector, you will lead the implementation of a transformative 5-year initiative aimed at improving the living income and building resilient livestock-based livelihoods for 75,000 smallholder farmer households across the Busoga, Rwenzori, Greater Ankole, and Kigezi subregions.

Gender Perspectives in Housing Microfinance Access & Use - Consultant
Country: India Organization: Habitat for Humanity Closing date: 25 Jul 2025 Almost a quarter of the world’s population lives in a substandard shelter, affecting their health, livelihoods, and children’s education. Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped more than 62 million people improve their shelter conditions. Yet, Habitat’s construction efforts alone cannot keep pace with the massive and growing need. No response by governments or private philanthropy alone can meet the shelter needs of 1.6 billion people. Lack of adequate housing and limited access to affordable finance affect women asymmetrically, Studies have shown that access to adequate housing positively impacts economic development. Beyond providing shelter, having a home lead to better outcomes for families in health, education, income, and standard of living. Housing is a driver, catalyst, and contributor to 13 of the 17 SDGs. Habitat for Humanity established the Terwilliger Centre for Innovation in Shelter (TCIS) to work with housing market systems. TCIS supports local firms in expanding innovative and client-responsive services, products, and financing, enabling households to improve their shelter more effectively and efficiently, thereby impacting the overall quality of their lives. One of our core initiatives is to help local financial institutions develop client-centric housing finance solutions for low-income households who otherwise lack access to such products from commercial banking institutions. Objective TCIS provided technical advisory to two (2) microfinance institutions in India and one (1) microfinance institution in Nepal to develop housing microfinance loan products of different types to low-income households in the last two years. A total of over 1,200 loans were disbursed to women clients under these new housing finance products across the three microfinance institutions so far. While designing the housing microfinance products with each microfinance institution, the following questions were assessed: * Gender-specific barriers to accessing housing microfinance. * Role of women in deciding on home-based investments. * Considerations around housing microfinance loans and impact on women's safety, health, or livelihood. TCIS now wants to assess these housing microfinance products developed under technical assistance across the three microfinance institutions from a gender perspective. The aim is to understand how housing microfinance products and services developed under the program, including the dissemination of information through construction education materials to a few clients in India and Nepal, affect gender roles, access to decision-making, and well-being. The study would also inform how existing product and service delivery mechanisms can be redesigned to be more inclusive and responsive to women’s needs in the product scale-up phase. The primary objective of the assessment is to * Evaluate the gendered impact of housing microfinance loans on borrower households. * Assess the accessibility, usability, and benefits of housing loans across genders. * Understand how housing finance contributes to women’s agency, household decision-making, and safety. * Identify gaps and opportunities to enhance gender-responsive practices in housing finance delivery. Please note: We encourage using quantitative data points, global case studies, and references to substantiate and validate qualitative and anecdotal findings. Scope of Work The selected research agency will be responsible for:Study Design & Methodology * Develop a research framework and tools incorporating gender analysis and mainstream principles. * Propose a sampling methodology across multiple geographic locations. * Design both qualitative and quantitative tools (surveys, FGDs, IDIs) Fieldwork and Data Collection* * Ensure that at least 50% of the staff at each level are women. * Conduct a thorough briefing for the field survey team. * Conduct surveys and interviews with sample respondents of: - Male and female borrowers - Microfinance institution staff at the branch and zonal / regional level - Product development team/Senior management Please note: the selected firm should coordinate directly with the microfinance institutions and plan field visits. TCIS will provide point person contact details only for each of the microfinance institutions. Data Analysis * Disaggregate findings by gender, MFI-wise, borrower/co-borrower-wise, product-wise, geography, loan type, and income segments. * Analyze the impact of housing microfinance on women and overall changes in: - Housing conditions. - Women’s involvement in financial and housing decisions. - Livelihood and safety outcomes are linked to improved housing. (If feasible, add ‘capture other outcomes in addition to the above – many earlier studies have shown many unintended outcomes, esp. health, education, and social / community as well. If that is not a priority, it can be dropped. Reporting & Recommendations * Inception Report detailing the final study design, methodology, and execution plan. * Analysis plan and reporting format ahead of the field work completion. * Prepare a draft and final report with key insights and infographics. - Word document for publishing - PPT format * Highlight one/two detailed case studies. * Submit a draft report and present draft findings to the TCIS team. * Revise the draft report and present a final report.
