Consultancy services in Gender Equality under Framework Agreement for Associate Advisors

BRITISH COUNCIL(THE) · Tender notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 07:37.

Opportunity overview

Gender equality is an important area of work for the British Council and we are being increasingly called upon to demonstrate the impact our work is making to this area by funders, donors and partners. In close consultation with the British Council's Gender Equality Team, the Associate Gender Advisers will provide additional technical input and support across a broad range of areas of activity, including business development, programme design, programme delivery, research, and capacity building strategy. The scope of activity will include both our contract pursuit(from bi-and multi-lateral donors, including the FCO, DFID and the EU across a range of regions) and our 'core grant- funded' and partnership work.
