El Salvador - Climate Justice Advisor

This is a 12-month mandate in San Salvador, El Salvador 

The mandate is under the Equality in Action Volunteer Cooperation Program (VCP), which takes place in 12 countries and 3 regions over an eight-year period (2020-2028).

The VCP aims to increase the involvement of local partners in developing countries in inclusive, innovative, and sustainable development initiatives that will advance gender equality. Oxfam's role is to support these organizations, working with the most vulnerable and marginalized people, to claim and exercise their rights. Oxfam places the rights of women, girls, and vulnerable and marginalized people at the heart of everything we do.

Here's what your daily life will look like:

In close collaboration with Oxfam's in-country team members, your mandate will be to:

• Conduct research and statistical analysis on the impact of these environmental issues on the health and well-being of women in these communities;  
• Advise and provide workshops and training to partner organizations on climate justice issues so that they can implement strategies at the institutional level and adjust their communication, organizational management and strategic planning;
