Review and Development of the We-care Training Manual

The consultant will develop a practical, feminist, and adaptable Care Training Manual and facilitation resource that strengthens the understanding and application of the 5R framework across policy, programming, movement building, and community engagement contexts. Key responsibilities include:

• Conduct a comprehensive desk review of existing care manuals, programme resources, and relevant literature on unpaid care and domestic work.
• Develop participatory content that supports transformation of harmful gender norms and narratives related to care.
• Document practical approaches for engaging key actors (policy makers, government, CSOs, private sector, communities) in advancing care agendas.
• Produce a high-quality, visually engaging, and adaptable learning resource suitable for both print and digital use.

This consultancy will directly contribute to advancing women's economic empowerment and gender equality by creating a resource that helps transform how unpaid care work is valued, shared, and supported. The manual will equip practitioners, advocates, and communities to drive systemic change in care policies and norms.

The ideal consultant or team should have:

• Proven experience in curriculum development, instructional design, adult learning, or training manual development.
• Strong understanding of feminist approaches, gender justice, and unpaid care and domestic work (UCDW).
• Excellent writing, editorial, and knowledge synthesis skills with the ability to present complex information clearly.
• Experience developing participatory and accessible learning resources; familiarity with African feminist and decolonial approaches is highly desirable.

This is a consultancy contract with a budget to be proposed by the consultant. The assignment offers the opportunity to work with a leading international NGO on a flagship programme, contributing to feminist and transformative change. The estimated level of effort is 45 working days between July and October 2026.

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty. The WE-Care programme is Oxfam's flagship initiative to increase women's and girls' time and choice to participate in social, economic, and political life by transforming how unpaid care and domestic work is valued, eased, shared, voiced, and invested in.
