FSD Africa is a specialist development agency which supports innovative ideas to build and strengthen financial markets across Africa. It focuses on reducing poverty by tackling the most intractable financial market challenges in Africa – its core areas include deepening domestic capital markets through addressing the lack of long-term finance, developing the capacity and pipeline for green finance and promoting financial innovation and FinTech, to support increased financial inclusion for vulnerable and excluded groups.
We wish to appoint a consultant (individual or firm) to review and improve an existing three-year (2021-2023), Equity and Diversity Inclusion (EDI) strategic framework, develop a strategy and implementation plan for EDI at FSD Africa. The EDI strategy will be built on the philosophy that valuing people is at the heart of FSD Africa’s organisational performance.
We value and recognize the unique backgrounds, skills, and perspectives of its employees. Through a review of the EDI framework, we are seeking to foster EDI inclusion across the organisation to achieve excellence, high performance and delivery as FSD Africa pursues its mandate.
The Consultant will provide expert input and advice that will coach and guide FSD Africa on developing and implementing an equity diversity, and inclusion strategy. The Consultant will work alongside the EDI Committee to develop the FSD Africa EDI strategy, review and restate the EDI measurement plan, undertake a market review of similar organizations’ approaches and performance on EDI, develop a three-year equity, diversity, and inclusion plan which will support FSD Africa to develop a more inclusive culture – ensuring that staff feel included, safe, and valued at work – and to diversify our workforce so that it represents the communities in which we work. They will also work with the ExCo and staff to contribute to the organisation’s values revamp with specific reference to matters EDI and conduct education to different levels of staff on key aspects of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace. They will also develop relevant communication and sensitization material and training material for routine staff training on the subject.
