Key activities include reviewing the quantitative indicator synthesis, relevant secondary literature, and designing a detailed work plan. The consultant will develop semi-structured interview and focus group guides, map key actors, and conduct fieldwork. This involves collecting data from women of various profiles (rural, urban-rural, indigenous, young, heads of household) and institutional actors. The consultant will analyze perceptions of mining impacts on women's lives, economic autonomy, and community participation, identifying restrictions and opportunities. Finally, the consultant will formulate concrete recommendations for intervention design, community engagement strategies, and local public policies with a gender and intercultural approach.
