Researcher and Data Analyst: Gender and Climate Justice Movement Resourcing Consultant(s)

Terms of Reference


We are looking ideally for a team of two consultants- one with data expertise, another with experience
and/or knowledge of and with environmental justice and gender justice movements who can conduct
analysis of data to tell stories.


Concept: Prospera INWF, Global Greengrants Fund, Human Rights Funders Network, and with the
support of Impact Mapper are conducting an analysis of combined data from their own networks and
programmes with the aim of answering the following questions:

  1. What was the total funding for gender and environmental justice by all of us in 2021?
  2. How do we define this term?
  3. Where did this money go (by region, to whom, for what)?/ who are the grantees?
  4. Where did this money come from? Who were the funders-by class and category?
  5. So what? Stories of funding for change/impact
    Based on our results, we will make the case for an increase in funding at this intersection, through
    particular ways, and in certain places, throughout 2024.
