Graphic Analyst<\/p>\n
TERMS OF REFERENCE<\/p>\n
The Fund for Gender Equality is a $68 million, multi-donor initiative designed to advance innovative, high-
\nimpact programmes that focus on women’s economic and political empowerment at local and national
\nlevels, in line with national development plans and priorities. Launched in December 2008 with an initial
\ncontribution of EUR 50 million (US$65 million) from the Government of Spain, and subsequently joined
\nby the government of Norway, the Fund provides grants on a competitive basis to civil society and
\ngovernmental agencies in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the Arab States, Latin America and the Caribbean,
\nCentral and Eastern Europe, and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Up to date, the Fund has
\nprovided grants to 27 Catalytic grantees projects and 13 Implementation grant initiatives.<\/p>\n
As part of a broader Knowledge Management and Communications strategy to collect, analyze and
\nshare knowledge about FGE and our grantees, the Fund would like to commission the creation of three
\nfactsheets. Specifically the factsheets should use text and visual elements to clearly and creatively
\nhighlight the work of the Fund and of our grantees. The themes of the three factsheets are as follows: 1)
\nFGEs Grantmaking Program; 2) Overview of 2009-2010 Grantees; 3) In-depth case study of a specific
\ngrantmaking theme (TBD).<\/p>\n

\nstatistics and data into informative graphically driven factsheets. A successful Graphic Analyst candidate
\nmust clearly demonstrate the ability to comprehend numerically-driven data and convert information into
\nappropriate, visually compelling, and factually accurate materials.<\/p>\n
