YouLead Gender Equality Coordinator Needed At Cuso International

Cuso International, a Canadian development NGO, is the executing agency of the five-year (February 2014-March 31^st 2019) Youth Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Access and Development (YouLead) project in Cross River State, Nigeria. Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA, 
Canada) and Institute of Public Administration in Canada (IPAC) are Canadian implementing partners along with Nigerian partners and stakeholders. The project is in its 3^rd year of implementation working 18 Local Government Areas.


YouLead is a capacity building project promoting female and male youth employment and sustainable economic growth in CRS by developing and supporting appropriately trained and skilled entrepreneurs and workers, and promoting the appropriate policies, regulations and enabling environment for this to occur in a gender-responsive, sustainable and market driven manner. YouLead provides technical assistance, using Canadian and in-country professionals, and working with local partners (government policy makers, business and financial services providers, youth resource centers and training organizations) to support natural resource value chains, help provide access to markets, and identify alternative and additional business opportunities for young women and men producers; build the capacity of micro and small enterprises to scale-up and ensure fair process and better working conditions for young women and men; and ensure that the appropriate policies and enabling environment is established. YouLead will also improve access to youth friendly financial services and products for young entrepreneurs. To that end, efforts will be made to ensure viable linkages between youth resource centers, technical training institutions, financial services providers, and the private sector.

The YouLead Project is being funded by Global Affairs Canada and therefore has to be implemented in line with GAC’s Gender Policy. The Project therefore uses GAC’s definitions for gender equity and gender equality. Gender equity means being fair to women and men. To ensure fairness, measures are often needed to compensate for historical and social disadvantages that prevent women and men from otherwise operating as equals. Equity leads to equality. Gender equality means that women and men enjoy the same status and have equal opportunity to realize their full human rights and potential to contribute to national, political, economic, social and cultural development, and to benefit from the results. Originally, it was believed that equality could be achieved simply by giving women and men the same opportunities. Same treatment, however, was found not necessarily to yield equal results. Today, the concept of equality acknowledges that women and men may sometimes require different treatment to achieve similar results, due to life conditions or to compensate for past discrimination. The Gender Equality Coordinator therefore needs to be creative and innovative in facilitating the design and implementation of programs and activities which lead to gender transformation, and address women’s strategic needs as well as women’s practical needs. This may require gender equality-specific activities and interventions and affirmative action to address historical inequalities and past discrimination.
