The role will contribute to generating evidence for gender-responsive policies.

Job Purpose

The purpose of this consultancy is to support the design and implementation of a qualitative survey to complement the 2026 National Time Use Survey (ENET) in Morocco. The qualitative survey will deepen the analysis of quantitative data by facilitating the interpretation of observed behaviors, highlighting social and cultural mechanisms influencing time allocation, and refining the understanding of unpaid care work.

They will conceptualize and categorize care activities and simultaneous occupations to better account for unpaid care work and its impact on the overall domestic workload and its distribution. The consultant will design specific tools for data collection and investigator training, including a facilitation guide and a structured interview guide. They will oversee the implementation of focus groups in selected regions, ensuring methodological, logistical, and technical adherence. A qualitative analysis of focus group results will be conducted to identify gaps and cultural specificities in the current classification of tasks. The consultant will produce a final report with a contextualized reclassification of the ICATUS nomenclature, a validated parallel activities grid, and an unpaid care activities grid. Finally, a policy brief will be produced summarizing key findings and providing strategic recommendations for the ENET 2026.
