Call for a social development consultant in Brazil

The UK Government’s Prosperity Fund is looking for a social development consultant in Brazil.

This was published under the 2019 to 2022 Johnson Conservative government

Objective

The UK Government’s Prosperity Fund aims to support Brazil’s economic modernisation, where increased productivity will facilitate increased sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction.

The Prosperity Fund Programme is looking to improve its Social Development Impact within its initiatives. Therefore, we are resourcing a social development consultant to make sure our Brazil Prosperity Fund Programme maximises the positive impact it has on the poor, women and other disadvantaged groups and identifies and mitigates any risks of unintended harm.

In line with the activities of the Prosperity Fund, the objective of this tender is to provide social development specific knowledge, expertise, support, monitoring and evaluation to the Prosperity Fund Programme in Brazil.

In June 2019, a Social Development Advisor from the UK reviewed the Brazil Prosperity Fund Programme and made recommendations.

The consultant will follow and build on those recommendations. That means reviewing the recommendations to ensure they take account of the Brazilian context, providing further recommendations, providing advice to programme leads and assuring that the Prosperity Fund implementing partners are complying with the recommendations, targets and timelines. The consultant selected for this work will also have the ability to further develop and advance the gender focus of the Programme based on their experience and on international evidence and best practice.
