Work Location

Expected duration
180 Days

**Responsibilities**:
Ending poverty in all its forms, everywhere, is the objective nº 1 of the 2030 agenda, which encompasses the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Among the targets related to this objective is the implementation, at a national level, of adequate social protection measures and systems for all, including mínimal levels of assistance, and by 2030 the attainment of substantial coverage for the poor and vulnerable (target 1.3).
The expansion of social protection coverage is seen as a key measure to ensure that everyone, and particularly the poorest and most vulnerable, can face both idiosyncratic shocks and covariant shocks that compromise the well-being of individuals and families with negative effects both in the short term (eg increase in poverty, hunger and malnutrition), as well as in the long run, such as the reduction of countries' growth potential due to reduced investment in human capital by families and individuals affected by shocks.
The consultancy will have the following objectives:
(i) study on the Brazilian experience with public purchases of food from family farmers and their interconnection with social protection programs;
(ii) studies on international experiences regarding social protection programs with a focus on artisanal fishermen: affected by closed seasons, their socioeconomic impacts and on the management of fish stocks; and
(iii) Presentation of results to policymakers and civil society.

Qualifications/special skills

-An advanced university degree (master’s degree or equivalent) in social sciences or economics or public/social policy.
- minimum of 03 years of research experience in public policies in the areas of social protection, food security, health, public procurement for family farmers and/or related topics.

Languages
- Fluency in Portuguese and English.
