The School of Human Development (SHD) at IIHS focuses on social transformation. The School understands social transformation as a set of processes that are rooted in, and seek to directly address:
1. Inequality in social status and substantive rights based on identity;
2. The absence of material and economic dignity for the urban majority; and
3. Inequities in political presence, recognition and participation.
The School’s core focus areas are:
- Decent work;
- Affordable housing;
- Social inequality;
- Social protection;
- Urban health;
- Community mobilization;
- Care Infrastructure.
About the Care vertical nested under SHD
The IIHS Care vertical has several programmes cutting across research and practice which conceptualises and explores feasible care models to address deficits in care, especially in childcare and care for the elderly.
Some of the current projects include research to understand experiences across a series of interventions aimed at strengthening the ecosystem of actors involved in building care infrastructure.
About ‘Unlocking Care and Economic Empowerment’
The project aims to develop care frameworks for women engaged in informal work, with the aim of expanding their access to economic opportunities within their neighbourhoods. By creating models of care services for women in the informal economy, the initiative enables mothers to participate in better income-generating activities. Through multiple scaling strategies, IIHS seeks to design a sustainable framework for delivering care for the informal economy.
Job Description
The position will be primarily under this project, but the incumbent will also support the Care vertical. It will involve supporting the project and the vertical in the execution of administrative, financial, and technical activities.
This will be a contractual position for an initial term of 11 months, renewable on mutual consent.
