Exciting job opportunity to work with an incredible team in the International Development Sector

ABOUT IWDAIWDA is an Australia based organisation, resourcing diverse women's rights organisations, primarily in Asia and the Pacific, and contributing to global feminist movements to advance our vision of gender equality for all.

VISION : Gender equality for all

PURPOSE : To defend and advance the rights of diverse women and girls

STRATEGIC GOALS 2025 :

1. Resource and contribute to a resilient and vibrant feminist movement, primarily in the areas of freedom from violence and power, leadership and civic space

2. Promote systemic change towards gender equality for all

3. Build a resilient and relevant feminist organisation

We resource the work of diverse women's rights organisations, enable them to be more effective by providing support that goes beyond money, and we make our own contributions to feminist movements through advocacy, knowledge creation and translation.

As part of this contribution, we take actions to decolonise our approach to feminism and development. We want to become the best we can be at partnerships across the Majority and Minority worlds. This means we seek to understand and leverage our locational power so that we know when to :

STEP UP and use our power to leverage resources and access for women's rights organisations, and make our own contribution to feminist movements

STAND WITHfeminist movements in solidarity and amplify the work of global south actors

STEP BACKwhen others are better placed to take the lead

SIT WITH uncertainty, embrace communal learning and deep listening, and accept that time is needed to collectively discern the best course of action.

Our 2023-2025 Strategic Plan outlines a third way between the models of women's funds and international development NGOs.

The Research, Policy & Advocacy (RPA) Coordinator will provide support to the RPA team to extend the organisation's influence through engagement and publications that aim to transform systems of power that underpin gender inequality and advance systemic change. This includes supporting knowledge translation activities by providing analysis and support on key feminist and decolonial issues, such as feminist foreign policy, funding to feminist movements, and feminist climate action.

This position will also contribute to organisational monitoring, evaluation and learning and coordinate RPA Team MEL activities and reporting. It will contribute to and support IWDA's Internal Research Ethics Committee. The RPA Coordinator may also provide support to the RPA team on special projects, including those with a focus on Feminist Movement Strengthening, as required.
