The GESI Advisor will work primarily on EWB Vanuatu’s ‘Tumble Drum’ project. The Tumble Drum is a hand-operated washing machine designed to alleviate Ni-Vanuatu women’s domestic laundry workload and associated health difficulties. The device was originally designed in response to the Vanuatu government’s proposal to ban disposable nappies, but has evolved through community discussions to become the basis for a community laundry business, functioning as a social enterprise, and women’s livelihood project. 

Our project aims to increase women’s incomes, reduce their workload, and encourage men to adopt laundry work and challenge the gendered perception of washing clothes. Due to the focus on gender-related outcomes, EWB is seeking a GESI advisor to help scope the possibilities for a community laundry business based on the Tumble Drum and identify strengths and areas for improvement in our project design.

This role would be suitable for a postgraduate research student or early career professional interested in working on a project concerning the following areas: GESI, WASH, human-centred design, gender and international development, women’s economic empowerment.
