In this role, the consultant will provide independent, high-level advisory services to DPET on revising existing indicators in line with international standards and best practices, offer strategic guidance and analytical recommendations to inform internal approaches and documentation, and support knowledge-sharing sessions to strengthen understanding of key concepts and approaches. The consultant will also provide advisory input to enhance the systematic integration of gender perspectives across the CPAS cycle, including impact assessments and data interpretation, while not engaging in implementation or ongoing operational functions.
