World University Service of Canada
WUSC – World University Service of Canada – is a leading Canadian non-profit organization in international development, committed to providing education, economic opportunities and empowerment opportunities that improve the lives of millions of disadvantaged youth around the world.
The Project
WUSC, through the Displaced and Refugee Youth Enabling Environment Mechanism (DREEM) project, plays a unique role as a technical assistance and strategic learning partner to the Mastercard Foundation and Mastercard Foundation partners. The project has three pillars; Pillar A; offering technical assistance to the Scholars program, Pillar C; Strengthening Economic Opportunities for Refugees. The second pillar, Young Africa Works, supports Mastercard Foundation's country partners and staff in Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Uganda to gain the knowledge, capacity and networks to meaningfully include and develop programming that meets the unique training and employment needs, opportunities and aspirations of refugee and displaced youth, especially young women.

Purpose of the assignment
Through a series of webinars, WUSC will help the Foundation’s country partners and staff in Uganda to gain the knowledge, capacity and networks to meaningfully include and develop programming that meets the unique training and employment needs, opportunities and aspirations of refugee and displaced youth, especially young women.

Scope of work
This assignment involves developing and delivering a webinar on the context of refugee and displaced youth inclusion in the tourism, hospitality and the construction sectors in Uganda. The webinar will answer the following questions:
• How are refugees and displaced youth engaged in the construction and tourism sectors? Does it differ for men and women?
• What are the challenges (including safeguarding risks) facing refugee and displaced youth in these sectors?
• What job opportunities both formal and informal, currently exist for them? Are women engaged differently than men; are the opportunities for women different and why?
• Who are the local actors (including employers) currently promoting inclusion of refugee and displaced youth in the sector? What are they doing? Are they having greater success including some refugee groups than others and why?
• How can Mastercard Foundation support the local actors to better serve the refugees including women working in these sectors in Uganda?

Methodology
The assignment entails development of 1.5-hour webinar content on the subject matter. The consultant is expected to refer from current publications/authentic articles (done in the last 5-years). While the context is Uganda, we encourage collating findings with information from other countries that host refugees including Kenya, Rwanda and Ethiopia.

Deliverables
• A webinar presentation (PPT slides) for the relevant subject matter
• A summary (no more than 7 page write up on the workshop subject matter
• A proposed guest speaker where possible
• Work with the YAW program manager to conduct a 1.5-hour webinar for the staff and partners of the Foundation
