Description :

Open to Internal and External Candidates

Position Title: National Programme Officer

Vacancy Number: SVN/IOMSO/002/2021

Duty Station: Baidoa, Somalia

Classification: National Officer, Grade NOB**

Type of Appointment: Short term, six months with possibility of extension

Estimated Start Date: As soon as possible

Closing Date: 08 February, 2021

Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

IOM is committed to a diverse and inclusive work environment. Internal and external candidates are eligible to apply to this vacancy. For the purpose of the vacancy, internal candidates are considered as first-tier candidates.

Context:

Conflict, drought, floods, outbreak of locusts, closure of refugee camps in neighboring countries and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated the displacement situation in Somalia. Finding durable solutions to large-scale and protracted displacement in Somalia has become a priority for national and international stakeholders since 2016. Failure to support IDP communities will likely result in disenfranchisement, thereby increasing prospects for radicalization, violent behavior and/or criminality. These scenarios pose an overall obstacle to social cohesion and manifest as clan disagreements, ineffective governance and decelerated development in Somalia thereby reducing the prospects to achieve the goals established in the Somalia National Development Plan, the National IDPs and Refugee Returnees Policy and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Addressing displacement in Somalia is, therefore, an imperative and urgent priority.

In recognition of the complex challenges posed by mass displacement, the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator (DSRSG/RC/HC) launched the Durable Solutions Initiative (DSI). Under the leadership of the DSRSG/RC/HC, the UN system has stepped up its efforts to support durable solutions and progress has been achieved towards making the search for durable solutions a priority for Somalia as reflected in the 2020-2024 National Development Plan (NDP); development of National Durable Solutions Strategy and ratification of the Kampala Convention.

In view of this displacement situation, IOM will be leading a consortium composed of UNDP, UN Habitat, and Integrated Office of the UN Resident Coordinator for Somalia to implement the Saameynta (Impact) programme that seeks to contribute to: “reducing the number of people living in forced displacement through leveraging value generated by urbanization and urban infrastructure investment to deliver durable solutions at scale in three Somali cities (Baidoa, Bossaso and Beletweyne)”. The Saameynta programme was developed to address displacement challenges in an innovative manner seeking durable solutions that are affordable and sustainable through addressing specific inter-related systemic blockages, challenges, and opportunities.

Under the overall supervision of the Programme Coordinator (RDS) and the direct supervision of the Programme Manager (Durable Solutions and Urban), the successful candidate will coordinate, monitor, and support the implementation of the Recovery and Durable Solutions (RDS) interventions, providing technical support to RDS Saameynta Programme in Baidoa district of South West State of Somalia.

Core Functions / Responsibilities:

  1. Support RDS management to liaise, establish and/or maintain cordial working relationships with relevant Government focal points for the effective implementation of RDS activities at South West State Federal Member State level and, Baidoa district.
  2. With technical guidance from the Durable Solutions Programme Manager, assist the project management team and work with local authorities, communities, and partners to ensure that Displacement Affected Communities (DACs) can effectively participate in public affairs as full citizens with equal rights to make independent planning decisions that advance their access to services.
  3. Participate in the development of roadmaps, strategies, and policies for scaling up durable solutions from Federal to Municipal levels.
  4. Participate in the development, implementation and reporting of capacity building initiatives to strengthen DACs, Local Authorities and relevant stakeholders on social cohesion and social accountability.

United Nations Considerations

According to article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. Candidates will not be considered for employment with the United Nations if they have committed violations of international human rights law, violations of international humanitarian law, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, or if there are reasonable grounds to believe that they have been involved in the commission of any of these acts.

The term “sexual abuse” means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions. The term “sexual harassment” means any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that might reasonably be expected or be perceived to cause offence or humiliation, when such conduct interferes with work, is made a condition of employment or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, and when the gravity of the conduct warrants the termination of the perpetrator’s working relationship. Candidates who have committed crimes other than minor traffic offences may not be considered for employment.

The United Nations places no restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to participate in any capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal and subsidiary organs.

Description :

Programme Management Specialist – Joint Policing Programme (JPP)

Organization: UNOPS
Posted: 0
Closing date: 

UNOPS –Somalia Country Office (SOCO) is recruiting this position through an Emergency Recruitment process (EPP).

This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to help shape UNOPS’ efforts to support the expansion of affordable, accountable and effective policing in Somalia.

Somalia is undergoing a significant phase in its political and security development – one that offers opportunities as well as challenges to efforts to secure the foundations of longer-term stabilisation and peace. The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), established in 2012, is set to hold their second landmark Presidential and Parliamentary elections in late 2020/early 2021. Recent high-level political dialogues present some hope for a Somali path to peace. Power relations between the country’s centre and periphery remain at the centre of the Somali crisis, however, and significant questions regarding Somalia’s national security architecture are yet to be adequately negotiated and resolved. Against this backdrop, expansion and development of professional and accountable civilian policing is both a critical precursor to peace-building efforts, and a point of significant political contestation. To that end, Somali authorities have developed a New Policing Model (NPM), which codifies a two-tier federated policing structure.

International funding has been crucial in sustaining the Somali Federal and Federal Member States (FMS) Police in returning a degree of security and rule of law to the country. The continuation and expansion of these efforts are crucial over the coming years. To enable this, the Joint Policing Programme (JPP) supports the Federal and FMS police to implement the country’s two-tier federated New Policing Model (NPM). The JPP takes advantage of the current situational opportunity to enhance collaboration in support of specific and realistic activities aimed at increasing the number of police officers operating across the country and their effectiveness in providing critical basic policing services to communities. By bringing together donor funding for the Police into one programme, the JPP enables the efficient and effective allocation of resources and fosters stronger strategic partnerships between Somali and international actors.

Purpose and Scope of Assignment

The successful applicant will demonstrate strong programme management experience gained through work on substantial and multi-donor-funded development programmes. The Programme Management Specialist will be experienced working in fragile contexts and with a variety of international donors, ideally in Somalia. She/he demonstrates strong interpersonal and stakeholder engagement skills, both with national and international counterparts. Above all, she/he will be proactive, comfortable delivering at pace and very organised.

The Programme Management Specialist will report directly to the Head of Joint Police Programme and form a critical part of the Secretariat team, which includes talented technical, programme and fund management staff.

Establish and/or maintain an electronic knowledge and information management system with due consideration for front-end and back-end users.

Introduction

The International Labour Organization (ILO) Country Office Addis Ababa covers five countries: Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, South Sudan and Sudan. Additional support is provided by the Decent Work Technical Team based in Cairo, Egypt; ILO`s Regional Office for Africa and global technical backstopping units at the headquarters.

The ILO support for Somalia is articulated in the Draft Somalia Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP 2017-2019), which is aligned to the National Development Plan (NDP 2017-2019). As part of the implementation of the NDP (2017-2019) and to contribute towards achievement of the goal of decent work for all women and men, and attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the ILO will implement a project, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), with two thematic focuses in the Somali region: renewable energy and women’s economic empowerment.

This project seeks to address two complementary challenges to Somalia’s development: barriers to women’s full economic empowerment; and lack of access to affordable, renewably-sourced energy. Expanding access to energy in the country has the potential to increase the productivity and competitiveness of Somali women and men run/owned businesses, contribute to alleviating poverty (both of which could lead to increased investment), improve health and education outcomes, and bolster security. Women’s Economic Empowerment gives women the independence, confidence, and ability to transform their lives. There is a direct correlation between improvements in health, education, peace, and security and the eventual success of women entrepreneurs to catalyse change within their regions, clans, towns, and families. Developing women’s economic empowerment and renewable energy is critical in building wealth, creating jobs, and unleashing the potential for innovation that attracts investment and helps every nation develop.

Context:

IOM’s Disengagement, Disassociation, Reintegration and Reconciliation (DDRR) programme is a key component of IOM’s peacebuilding and stabilization portfolio that aims to increase Somalia’s resilience to destabilizing conditions and build national capacity towards sustained peace. The programme aims to contribute to peace and improved security in Somalia through supporting the Federal Government of Somalia’s National Programme on the Treatment and Handling of Disengaged Combatants and Youth at Risk (National Programme).

In the absence of a peace agreement, and other preconditions usually required for traditional Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programming, IOM has been supporting the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) in its implementation of the National Programme through a four-pillared approach that reframes traditional DDR in terms of Disengagement, Disassociation, Reintegration and Reconciliation (DDRR). This context specific and context sensitive approach has been developed and implemented alongside local partners to include the national government and regional administrations, to create viable, reliable, gender-responsive, transparent and nationally owned legal and operational processes to support exit and reintegration pathways for former associates where sanctioned violent extremist groups are involved. In facilitating the reintegration of former associates within these new contexts, IOM works to reduce the risk of recidivism or recruitment into criminal or violent extremist groups by addressing the drivers of conflict and building resilience at the individual and community levels.

Under the overall supervision of the Deputy Chief of Mission and the direct supervision of the Programme Coordinator (DDRR) in Mogadishu, Somalia, the successful candidate will provide technical support for the day-to-day management, coordination, monitoring and reporting of DDRR project activities linked to assigned project grant(s), to include funding from the German

  1. Program Description
  2. Purpose

Over the next three to five months, Somalia will hold three electoral events, including:

  • Upper House elections currently planned December 1-10, 2020;
  • Lower House elections planned for December 10-27, 2020; and
  • The selection of parliamentary speakers and President planned for January-February 8, 2021.

To ensure transparency and credibility in the electoral process, states often encourage and allow for domestic observers to participate in the process. Domestic observer groups, unlike international observers, are able to easily train and deploy a large number of observers.

In Somalia, Creative seeks CSOs to identify, train, and deploy election observers in all six states during the upcoming electoral events. Priority will be given to CSOs with a track record in conducting domestic observation and CSOs that demonstrate inclusivity in project implementation. Activities should clearly identify understanding of the entire domestic observation process and include a comprehensive timeline.

  1. Background

Somalia will be entering a busy electoral period over the next 3-5 months, with legislative and presidential elections expected to be held. However, these elections will not be conducted via the envisaged “one-person-one-vote” elections but instead through a similar indirect voting system utilized in 2016. Under this system, a series of electoral colleges will be established throughout the country that will select the parliamentarians who, in turn, will vote for the president. While Somalis had hoped for a “one-person-one-vote” system, this indirect voting arrangement will allow the polls to take place in a timely manner. However, these indirect elections will test the integrity of the process as the three cycles of upcoming indirect elections take place over the next three months. A robust domestic observation effort is needed to ensure transparency, legitimacy, and credibility.

  1. Objectives

Projects under this grant supported by BUILD will contribute to a domestic observation effort that will cover all aspects of the electoral cycle, from pre-election through the election day and post-election periods. These efforts will also identify critical issues in the conduct of indirect elections and make recommendations for improving future elections in Somalia. Emphasis will be placed on inclusivity in observers deployed to conduct observation as well as the inclusion of marginalized groups, women, and youth in the electoral process.

Illustrative Activities

Examples of activities supported under any grant(s) awarded under this RFA must include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Identify/recruit at least ten (10) observers in each state, with at least 50% women from each state/multiple clans, with a focus on inclusion of marginalized groups as observers;
  • In close collaboration with Creative, develop/adjust methodology to observe indirect elections in Somalia;
  • Develop strategies to ensure observation and assessment of political environment and dynamics in the pre, during and post-election phases of the process;
  • Develop strategies to understand and assess key dynamics in conduct of process, including, for example, participation of women, youth and minority or marginalized groups, security conditions, political finance, access and role of media, election dispute resolution, etc.;
  • Collect data from a range of sources and means including checklists, key informant interviews, media monitoring (broadcast, print and social media);
  • Obtain observer accreditation, with support from Creative;
  • Conduct/participate in a cascade training program with Creative organizing the first training cascade, with grantees conducting follow on trainings in person in each state;
  • Develop a logistics and deployment plan;
  • Develop, in close consultations with Creative, reporting timelines and templates;
  • Develop mitigation plans in event of delays in the electoral calendar and other risks;
  • Develop and commit to a schedule, templates, and timelines with guidance from Creative to avoid partial or incomplete conclusions and assessments by individual observers;
  • Participate in training and incorporate government issued social distancing and other measures and materials (PPE, etc.) to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 during the activity implementation; and,
  • Develop final summary report on observation findings and coordinate its public release with Creative in coordination with other observer groups.

Please note: Due to the spread of the Covid-19 virus in Somalia the applicant should incorporate into programs virtual communication capability which may include online communication with BUILD and participants. Activities can be implemented in the traditional fashion, taking into account guidance from local authorities and in coordination with BUILD project security guidelines.

Job description

CTG Overview CTG stands for Committed To Good. With an ethical approach at the heart of all that we do, it is a description that makes us proud. Respect for the fundamental human rights of our staff, and those our staff encounter, is a cornerstone of our values. We strive for gender equality, inclusion and diversity, providing fair and equal opportunities for all. We take a zero tolerance approach to corruption and stay true to local labour laws and all local statutory requirements.
In operation since 2006, today we are honoured to serve clients in 15 fragile and conflict-affected states assisting with disaster relief, peace building, humanitarian aid and development programmes through our specialised recruitment, HR management and operational services.
Overview of position
  • During the last decade, Somalia, which has been recovering from civil conflict & political instability, was hit twice by severe droughts, 1 in 2011 & the other in late 2016. According to a poverty & vulnerability analysis in Somalia’s Ninth National Development Plan (NDP – 9), poverty is pervasive (or widespread), with the daily income of an average poor Somali being only 71% of the international poverty line of $1.90. Such extreme poverty represents great vulnerability among the majority of Somalis to recurrent shocks such as droughts, floods, displacement, poor health, loss of income or assets.
  • In October 2017, WB, EU & the UN led by MOPIED initiated an assessment of the drought. Within a timeframe of 3 months, the Drought Impact and Needs Assessment (DINA) was conducted. DINA was launched in January 2018 & is a comprehensive assessment of the
  • damages, losses & the needs for recovery that Somalia needs in the medium term. Translating the DINA findings into action, in late 2018, the GOS developed a Recovery & Resilience Framework (RRF).
  • The purpose of the RRF is to enable and inform Somali govt. & international partners programming & financing responses to the needs identified in the DINA. In doing so, the RRF which is scheduled over a 3 – 5-year time frame, will build on ongoing humanitarian efforts & align with the national development planning process, thereby helping to set Somalia on a trajectory towards the achievement of the SDGs. It establishes a collective vision & strategy for enabling recovery & resilience building by breaking the vicious cycle of vulnerability &  humanitarian crises. Using evidence based analysis & a bottom up consensus building methodology, it identifies recovery & resilience building priorities & proposes a financing approach & institutional arrangements by which these can be acted on by the GOS & its international partners.
  • The RRF priorities & strategies have been mainstreamed into the NDP – 9 as policy imperatives that cut across the 4 pillars. This allows national institutions & resilience stakeholders to build consensus around approaches & interventions, which subsequently inform the core principles of resilience.
  • The guiding principles of the RRF include ensuring short to medium term institutional capacity building to efficiently implement, monitor & evaluate both large scale investments in key sectors & small scale investments on the community level in a sustainable manner. As a multi sectoral issue, resilience building requires enhanced collaboration between stakeholders. The establishment of a Resilience Technical

The Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a business unit with DRC which aims to recreate a safe environment where people can live without the threat of landmines, unexploded ordinances and small arms and light weapons. These goals can be effectively advanced through cooperation and joint action with other organizations as well as with integration of operations and programs with its sister organization, DRC.

The Localization Agenda in line with World Humanitarian Summit commitments (25% of International financing has to go to local organizations) is also picking up speed in Somalia. Most donors are committed to give more resources to local organizations. Currently 35% of overall International Funding in Somalia is going to local organizations.

Overall purpose of the role:  The Business Partnerships and Development Unit Manager will drive new business development in support of all Somalia/Land programmes and where possible closely work with Kenya and Ethiopia programmes; creating, identifying and assessing new funding opportunities while promoting learning and innovation at country and regional level. The role is expected to maintain a consistent standard of donor relationship and high-quality proposal development working closely with DRC and DDG HoPs in delivering quality and innovative interventions, multi-country funding opportunities and consortium partnerships.

The function will support the development of an organizational culture that reflects DRC/DDG’s mandate, values, promotes accountability and high performance, encourage a team culture of learning, creativity and innovation. The position which will work closely with Technical Managers and Area Managers, will contribute to the DRC/DDG’s Somalia vision and strategic direction by providing guidance on donor priorities, funding opportunities against DRC/DDG’s core programming themes and sectors.

Responsibilities

HEAD OF LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT

Posted in

Rift Valley Institute

Job Type

Full Time

Location

Somalia

Description :

Head of Learning and Development

Countries: Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan & Uganda

Summary

The Rift Valley Institute is seeking a highly experienced and dynamic educator to design and manage a professional development programme for early career researchers in eastern and central Africa. The position will be based in one of the countries in eastern and central Africa where RVI is operational, with frequent travel within the region.

As Head of Learning and Development you will lead RVI’s learning and development strategy. You will work with RVI country teams, managers, partners and RVI Fellows, supporting existing training programmes in South Sudan, the Somali regions and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the development of new blended learning programmes, ensuring consistency in approach and methods. You will support the professional development of early career researchers through bespoke training, coaching and mentoring and generate original research publications that amplify the voices of African scholars and researchers.

The ideal candidate must have experience in leading and facilitating learning and development programmes, a demonstrable record in qualitative research, pedagogical skills and management experience. This role demands the ability to work collaboratively as well as independently, while handling multiple initiatives.

Job Context and Purpose

For many people and communities across eastern and central Africa, conflict, political violence, climate emergencies, rapid demographic change and social injustice are persistent risks, affecting livelihoods and shaping life chances. These challenges require collective solutions by Africans informed by well-founded, evidence-based research generated in the region. Despite a commitment by African scholars and scholarly institutions to understand and address the challenges, there is a deficit in applied social science research capacity. This perpetuates an imbalance in knowledge production and creates an environment in which externally conceived research dominates, resulting in limited understanding of local realities, local ownership of research processes, outcomes and application. The RVI aims to respond to these challenges by linking scholarly research to real-world impact.

This new two-year project supporting African research capacity and the development of research communities of practice is funded by the Peacebuilding in Africa programme of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. It has three related components that build on RVI’s experience. It will:

  • support the professional development of early career researchers through bespoke training and mentoring to increase expertise and knowledge production;
  • establish and convene research communities of practice in conflict affected countries in East and Central Africa;
  • make publicly available locally generated knowledge and amplify the voices of African scholars and researchers through research and publications.

The Head of Learning and Development will have overall responsibility for managing the programme and delivering its intended outcomes. Over a period of twenty-four months, with a six months inception phase, the Head of Learning will have:

  • finalised the design and establishment of an innovative research capacity-building programme;
  • overseen the design and delivery of training programmes;
  • supported the establishment of research communities of practice that brings together African and non-African scholars;
  • identified sources of funding for African research scholarships and African authors.

How to apply :

Apply on the RVI website. Applications must include a CV and a letter supporting your application outlining your motivation, experience, and knowledge relevant for the position, with two professional references.

Description :

Senior Research Fellow (Post-Doc), understandings and practices of accountability in Somalia

Application Deadline: Friday, October 2, 2020

PRIO has a vacancy for a two-year, full-time Senior Research Fellow (Post-Doc) position under the project Holding Aid Accountable: Relational Humanitarianism in Protracted Crisis (AidAccount), funded by the Research Council of Norway.

Working within the fields of social sciences or humanities, the candidate to be employed in this project will conduct fieldwork-based research focused on how accountability is understood and practiced by (local and transnational) citizens in complex and protracted humanitarian crises. The case to be explored by the Senior Research Fellow is the recurrent famines in Somalia. This work will result in two co-authored articles in English and a policy brief.

About the Aid Account project

In situations of protracted humanitarian crisis, local residents and diaspora groups are key humanitarian actors. They are often the first to assist in emergencies, and they remain engaged throughout the complex crises that may follow. Little is known about how accountability is understood and practiced by (local and transnational) citizens in comparison to professional humanitarians. While the professional sector relies heavily on technical-financial systems, the civic humanitarians often depend on trust-based social networks and social media to provide accountability.

AidAccount aims to map, document, and analyse the moral and social dimensions of accountability as understood and practiced by civic and professional humanitarian aid providers in protracted crises in Uganda, Somalia and Sri Lanka. The project uses the case-study method and in each case, complementary qualitative methods – including participatory mapping, document analysis, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions – will be used to study the normative, institutional and experiential dimensions of accountability conceptualizations and practices.

By developing knowledge about this neglected yet important subject, the project will support the efforts of professional humanitarian actors to improve localisation and thus increase the efficiency of aid delivery. The project furthermore aims to develop a ‘humanitarian lab’ to support knowledge-based policy decisions and improve accountability to both donors and aid recipients. The explicit intention is to cultivate relationships between researchers, humanitarians, policy makers, donors and aid recipients that will lead to sustained interactions and collaborative learning.

AidAccount is led by the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and will involve further research collaboration between NTNU; Oxford Brookes; Makerere University, in Kampala, Uganda; Rako Research and Communication Centre in Hargeisa, Somaliland; and the Centre for Migration Research and Development in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The work package in the project on the case of recurrent famines in Somalia is shared between Rako and PRIO.

A complete description of the project will be made available to interested candidates upon request.

The position of the Senior Research Fellow (Post-Doc) in the team

A successful application is one that makes clear how it will contribute innovatively to the project as a whole, and candidates are encouraged to read the background material closely before writing their proposal.

The Senior Research Fellow (Post-Doc) is expected to execute the work within 2 years. While being placed at PRIO and Rako, the researcher will work with an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the other research institutes involved in the study.

The researcher will work in close collaboration with Dr Cindy Horst at PRIO and Dr Mohamed Hassan at Rako. Progress will be supported through regular presentations at internal seminars and involvement in appropriate research groups at PRIO, and opportunities to present work at international academic conferences and workshops.

We strive for gender equality, inclusion and diversity, providing fair and equal opportunities for all.

In operation since 2006, today we are honoured to serve clients in 15 fragile and conflict-affected states assisting with disaster relief, peace building, humanitarian aid and development programmes through our specialised recruitment, HR management and operational services.
Overview of position
  • Somalia is characterized by a complex migration crisis caused by conflict, natural disasters & a general lack of opportunities. Both conflict & natural disasters have led to the displacement of millions of people, both internally & across international borders, resulting in approximately 1 million refugees in the region & 1.1 internally displaced persons. Further, an unknown number of migrants & refugees have also left the country towards Europe & the Middle East, as well as to Southern Africa. The situation in Somalia remains volatile with recurring drought & floods & an ongoing conflict between the Federal Govt. of Somalia (FGS) with Al Shabaab (AS) as well as inter clan conflicts.

As part of these efforts the Ministry of Interior, Federal Affairs & Reconciliation (MOIFAR) as well as the Jubaland Ministry of Interior (MoI) have called upon the international community to support stabilization activities to improve the lives & address the neglected needs of communities that have suffered under AS rule in recent years. IOM, along with a host of other stabilization partners, are working in coordination with the Jubaland State govt., Lower Juba Regional Governor & FGS to support basic service delivery, improve critical public infrastructure & provide assistance in building social cohesion in newly recovered areas.

Clinical chemistry technologists prepare specimens and analyze the chemical and hormonal contents of body fluids.

Introduction

The ILO support for Somalia is articulated in the Draft Somalia Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP 2017-2019), which is aligned to the National Development Plan (NDP 2017-2019). As part of the implementation of the NDP (2017-2019) and to contribute towards achievement of the goal of decent work for all women and men, and attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the ILO will implement a project, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), in the Somali region with two thematic focuses: renewable energy and women’s economic empowerment.

This project seeks to address two complementary challenges to Somalia’s development: barriers to women’s full economic empowerment; and lack of access to affordable, renewably-sourced energy. Expanding access to energy in the country has the potential to increase the productivity and competitiveness of Somali women and men run/owned businesses, contribute to alleviating poverty (both of which could lead to increased investment), improve health and education outcomes, and bolster security.

Women’s Economic Empowerment gives women the independence, confidence, and ability to transform their lives. There is a direct correlation between improvements in health, education, peace, and security and the eventual success of women entrepreneurs to catalyse change within their regions, clans, towns, and families. Developing women’s economic empowerment and renewable energy is critical in building wealth, creating jobs, and unleashing the potential for innovation that attracts investment and helps every nation develop.

JOB OPPORTUNITY

BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs

Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian

community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organization manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, GIS and remote-sensing.  IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

ACTED is a French humanitarian NGO, founded in 1993, which supports vulnerable populations, affected by humanitarian crises worldwide. ACTED provides continued support to vulnerable communities by ensuring the sustainability of post-crisis interventions and engaging long-term challenges facing our target populations, in order to break the poverty cycle, foster development and reduce vulnerability to disasters.

BACKGROUND ON IMPACT AND REACH

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, GIS and remote sensing. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

ACTED is a French humanitarian NGO, founded in 1993, which supports vulnerable populations, affected by humanitarian crises worldwide. ACTED provides continued support to vulnerable communities by ensuring the sustainability of post-crisis interventions and engaging long-term challenges facing our target populations, in order to break the poverty cycle, foster development and reduce vulnerability to disasters. Their interventions seek to cover the multiple aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a multidisciplinary approach which is both global and local, and adapted to each context. Their 3,300 staff are committed to responding to emergencies worldwide, to supporting recovery and rehabilitation, towards sustainable development.

ABOUT COMPANY :

1. Background

Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) is a diaconal organization established in Norway to work with people around the world to eradicate poverty and injustice. Our vision is Together for a Just World. NCA began its work in Somalia in 1993, following the humanitarian crisis caused by the collapse of the central government in 1991. NCA became active in Puntland following the 2004 tsunami, 2007 in Banadir and 2013 in Lower Shabelle and has maintained this presence and programmes implementation since then. NCA’s Somalia 2020-2024 strategy will contribute to support people in need during emergencies and recovery, advocate for their rights and to build their resilience through the following programmes: Climate Resilience WASH, Gender-based Violence, Peacebuilding, Climate Smart Economic Empowerment and Education for Peace and Sustainable Development. NCA also supports strengthening of civil society and advocacy efforts. NCA Somalia programmes are in line with Somalia National Development Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals.

For over 90 years, Save the Children (SC) has been making a difference in children’s lives in more than 120 countries. We are the world’s largest independent child rights organization, underpinned by a vision in a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. Our mission to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. SC is an equal opportunity organisation dedicated to our core values of Accountability, Ambition, and Collaboration. Creativity and Integrity. Our culture is embedded in these values, along with a strong commitment to our Child Safeguarding Protocol, ensuring that all representatives of Save the Children demonstrate the highest standards of behaviour towards children both in their private and professional lives. Save the Children in Somalia/Somaliland has over 40 years been working in partnership with Civil Society Organizations

NCA/SC Joint Programme in Somalia

During the period 2020-2024, the joint NCA & SC programme to end FGM & CEFM will be in its third phase of implementation to build on the efforts and gains made in the previous phases while expanding to other locations for wider outreach and coverage. The overall goal of the joint programme is to contribute towards the elimination of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM/C) and Child Early Forced Marriage (CEFM) in targeted communities.

The joint programme is guided by a Theory of Change (ToC) to respond to four outcomes areas, which include:

  • Dominant social norms transformed to protect girls and women from FGM and CEFM.
  • Women and girls at risk of violence and survivors of FGM have access to appropriate and adequate medical, psychosocial support (PSS), and livelihood services.
  • Women and girls are empowered to realize their rights and protect themselves from FGM and CEFM.
  • Laws and Policies to end FGM and CEFM are enacted and enforced.

NCA and SC will continue to use various strategies such as community conversations to discuss and explore local solutions that will lead to abandonment of harmful practices; engage influential religious leaders to advocate for abandonment; media to foster awareness and sensitize communities, and capacity-building of community actors to advocate against practices. Engaging men and boys as change agents to influence their peers will continue as a key strategy along with new models promoting gender equality and economic empowerment. The programme will be implemented in seven districts, i.e. Bosasso, Gardo, Garowe and Eyl in Puntland state, and Garbaharey, Belet Hawa and Luuq in Gedo in Jubaland state.

NCA works in partnership with KAALO Aid for development, a local NGO in Puntland (Garowe and Eyl) and SEDHURO in Gedo (Garbaharrey, Luuq and Belet Hawa). Save the Children will implement the programme in Bosaso and Qardo districts through partnership with Tadammun Social Society.

2. Purpose and Scope of the baseline

Purpose of the Baseline.

The main objective of the baseline study is to collect baseline values of which progress can be monitored against the specific project impact and outcome indicators and effectiveness of the joint programme intervention in the Midline and Endline Evaluations. Additionally it is expected to provide qualitative information on the contextual social norms within the field, to inform the programme approach and substantiate future documentation and learning.

Specifically, this study aims to:

  • Estimate baseline values for outcome and impact indicators in intervention areas.
  • Estimate baseline values for outcome and impact indicators in comparison/non-intervention areas and evaluate balance of the estimates between intervention and comparison areas.
  • To understand the knowledge, attitude and practices that drive FGM/C and CEFM among different stakeholders i.e men, women, boys, girls, and religious leaders in the target locations.
  • To investigate the role of religious leaders and young men in interventions to eliminate FGM/C and CEFM.
  • Provide recommendations that the programme should consider based on the findings.

Scope of the Baseline.

The baseline will involve a desk review of programme documents, household survey, FGDs and KIIs. The study will involve as interviews and interaction with a range of stakeholders including beneficiaries/right holders and duty bearers in project locations, NCA/SC partners, local administration and government representatives, religious and community leaders as well as health professionals, teachers, students as well as women, girls, men and youth. Geographically, the baseline will cover the following locations**

  • Gedo- NCA, SEDHURO
  • Puntland – NCA, KAALO Aid for Development and SC/TASS.

Programme Impact and Outcome Indicators

IMPACT/OUTCOME INDICATORS

3. Methodology

The consultant is expected to present a detailed methodology in the technical proposal submission which will be further refined in consultation with NCA and SC during the inception phase. In general, baseline study will employ a quasi-experimental design through the use of a comparison group to allow for comparability of rate of changes between intervention and non-intervention areas in the subsequent evaluations. The sample will be drawn from both intervention and non-intervention areas. During inception phase, NCA, SC and consultant will develop the selection criteria to guide the section of the comparison group. For comparative analysis, a panel survey will be used to compare changes between the baseline, mid-line and endline in the intervention relative to comparison areas.

The baseline will use household survey as the main method of data collection while qualitative methodology will be used to triangulate the data and explain the findings of the survey. The study will therefore combine statistically representative household survey with in-depth qualitative research, which will largely be participatory through engagement with key stakeholders including project’s direct and indirect beneficiaries, women, girls, men, boys and youth, government officials at various levels as relevant, health professionals, and religious leaders among others. The baseline should ensure that the respondents are representative of diversity across the target locations in Somalia (Gender, age, profession, urban, rural, IDP settlements, etc.).

As the unexpected Covid 19 pandemic will have an implication on this study, the consultant should propose an adapted methodology-mitigation actions as part of the inception report.

Sampling strategy and size

The sampling strategy will be finalized collaboratively with the external consultant. The target communities will be selected by NCA and SC with inputs from the consultant and will include rural, urban communities and IDP settlement from both the intervention and non-intervention areas. Sampling will take into account the demographics, stratifications, gender and geographical coverage of interventions. The samples will be allocated in respect to proportion to population sizes of the targeted geographical areas while ensuring that the sample size is representative and adequate to compare change in the intervention areas for all impact and outcome level indicators.

NCA, SC and the consultant will also come up with an appropriate samples for qualitative data collection based on data needs. It is expected that a sample constituting appropriate right holders, duty bearers and other stakeholders will be purposively selected with balance of collective and diverse responses to answer key baseline questions. The selection will be based on the ability to provide objective information for key baseline questions and other fitting inputs into the wider aspects of the context and strategy.

Data collection

The following data collection methods are expected to be used. However, the methods are flexible to any fitting amendments by NCA, SC and the consultant.

i) Desk Review

A background review of the joint programme’s documents including the application and the results framework. Information and publications from external sources related to the programme and baseline objectives will be included in baseline study.

ii) Surveys

For the quantitative method, a standardized questionnaire will be used to generate information on outcome indicators. Structured questionnaires will be administered to the targeted beneficiaries guided by indicators as the units of analysis. These populations will be predetermined during the sampling process.

To maintain the quality of the data, all quantitative data will be collected using mobile data collection. Random onsite verification of data will be undertaken to ensure that the process remains as objective as possible.

Questionnaires will be translated into Somali to prevent misunderstanding and misinterpretation of questions by the enumerators.

iii) Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)

Focus groups discussions (FGDs) with relevant stakeholders including right holders in the target locations will be a main part of the information gathering, in order to ensure that the perspectives of different groups are taken into account. The focus groups should be organized taking into account the diversity of the different groups on the basis of demographics such as age, gender and profession. Participants in the FGD will include women groups, men groups, religious leaders, community leaders, young men, young women, students, etc. The FGDs will be separated by men, women, young men, young women, boys and girls to provide safe space for them to discuss freely and share honest participation by. All interview templates will be available in English and Somali. Interviews will be conducted in Somali, and in-depth notes will be taken on each discussion. Where security permits, interviews will be recorded for better transcripts. **

iv) Key Informant Interview (KII)

Key informant interviews will be used to assess crucial opinions of project stakeholders allowing for in depth data to be collected. KIIs will be used to gain local perspective and up-to-date information as a supplement to information already available and to also triangulate the quantitative data. Key informants will include but are not limited to NCA/SC staff and partners, community leaders, religious leaders, government officials, health professionals, teachers, community education committees etc. In-depth interviews will be important to gauge the opinions, attitude and perceptions of the various stakeholders on FGM/CEFM.

Data Quality Assurance

The joint programme commits to ensure quality data is collected and transmitted from various sources. Quality control will be integrated in all the process including; data collection tools, proficiency based training, pre-testing of tools and onsite verification processes. For high quality, it is recommended that competent research assistants with masterly of sectoral subject matter and deep probing skills will be deployed.

Ethical consideration

Bearing in mind the sensitive nature of this project, specific consideration will be given to ethical issues of research design, piloting of tools, data collection, reporting and storage. Trust, sensitivity and ethical procedures are essential, therefore, the design of the tools, the phrasing of the questions and the skills of the enumerators are key to obtaining valid data. The enumerators will be trained on ethical research, consent and coercion, child safeguarding, child protection, non-judgemental data collection and ethical interviewing, as well as the specific use of the research tools, confidentiality and secure data handling. Participation of children will be done only through qualitative group discussion. Teachers/parents or guardians will be requested for consent before children are interviewed. Child friendly questions and a safe environment for the children will be ensured.

About Mercy Corps

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.

Now, and for the future.

Program / Department Summary

Mercy Corps has been present in Somalia since 2005, responding to emergency needs stemming from conflict and displacement, while continuing work to build more resilient, peaceful, and productive communities in Puntland, Somaliland, Banadir, South West State, Hirshabelle, Galmudug and Jubaland. Mercy Corps Somalia also collaborates with Mercy Corps teams and partners in neighbouring countries to implement multi-country and crossborder programs. Working with a diverse base of donors that includes the USAID/OFDA, GIZ, UNHCR, ECHO, WFP, SSF, EAC, LDS and other foundations and institutional donors, Mercy Corps empowers people to recover from crisis, build better lives and transform their communities for good. We work closely with the private sector, civil society and governance structures at local and national levels to facilitate change and ensure that opportunities are inclusive of all Somalis.

The international community has awoken to the reality that the traditional aid architecture is largely incapable of delivering solutions to today’s humanitarian crises and that new ways of working are required. Yet the “how” of action that will drive lasting results for peace and wellbeing in protracted crisis contexts like Somalia has remained largely elusive. The Baidoa Resilience Partnership, launched in 2018 by USAID, positioned USAID as thought leaders in this space, promoting resilience as a collective imperative that transcends traditional funding, program, and sector siloes to advance pragmatic solutions to the world’s most pernicious challenges.

Mercy Corps is seeking a Resilience CLA & Capacity Development Specialist for the Somalia Resilience Learning Activity (RLA), a two-year opportunity funded by USAID. As a largely autonomous component of a larger regional learning award lead by ACDI/VOCA, the Somalia RLA is designed to leverage USAID’s previous investments in the Baidoa Resilience Partnership to advance collaboration, learning, and adapting (CLA) across actors and funding streams for sustained reductions in humanitarian need. Through the Somalia RLA, Mercy Corps will work closely with USAID, implementing partners, and other stakeholders to collectively analyze what they do and how they do it, surfacing findings to enable the replication and amplification of promising practices within and beyond Baidoa, enhancing USAID and other donor’s return on investment in Somalia

Position Title:

Project Evaluator

Duty Station:

Mogadishu

Contract period

1.8.-30.9.2020, estimated 20 working days

1. Background

FCA is Finland’s biggest development and humanitarian co-operation organization and the second biggest organization working in Humanitarians aid. FCA operates in 15 countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East and is specialized in three thematic priority areas: The Right to Peace (R2P), Right to Livelihood (R2L) and Right to Quality Education (R2QE). FCA Somalia began its reconciliation interventions in Somalia in 2007 through consultations with Somali traditional and religious leaders, which resulted implementation of a Peace Initiative Programme in Somaliland and Puntland in 2008. Through the success of the project, FCA Somalia expanded its operation to South Central of Somalia in 2013, evolving from community level peace building initiatives to state building and state formation interventions at FGS and FMS levels. FCA Somalia has also facilitated the state formation process between 2014 and 2015 which resulted the formation of Galmudug State. It also supported the establishment and election of district councils, which led to an inauguration of two new councils of South West State of Somalia, Hudur in October 2017 and Berdale in early 2018, in accordance with the Wadajir Framework on Local Governance. The process has seen the election of two female district councilors for Berdale among the 21 elected district councilors. FCA Somalia is currently implementing a four-year project on strengthening local governance structures for more accountable and inclusive FMSs in support of the Wadajir National Framework.

The Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers (the Network) was founded in 2013 as a concrete response to the growing awareness among peace mediation organization and the United Nations, that religious and traditional actors are vital, but underutilized, actors in peacemaking processes. Since its founding, the Network has grown into a community of peacemakers ranging from grassroots religious and traditional actors to international NGOs, think tanks, and academic institutions. The Network strengthens peacemaking through collaboratively supporting the positive role of religious and traditional actors in peacebuilding processes and through connecting them to national and international peace builders. Since its founding, the Network Secretariat has been hosted by FCA. From 2007-2014, the work of FCA Somalia and the Network has contributed to solving of 25 major conflicts in Somalia and enabled 18 peace processes to come about. Additionally, the current Head of the Network Secretariat was seconded as an advisor for Minister of Reconciliation during 2011-2012. This cooperation contributed significantly to the selection of a more widely recognized Somalian parliament in 2012.The Network has also conducted research on peacebuilding and conflict prevention in Somalia and in 2017, the Network was selected as one of the contributing organizations for UN publication on peace and reconciliation designed to inform policy-makers working in and for Somalia and eventually published as chapter in the UNSOM-edited book “War and Peace in Somalia” in late 2018.

2. Description of the projects

The Network and FCA Somalia have been supporting the Ministry of Interior, Federal Affairs and Reconciliation (MoIFAR) of Somalia in development of National Reconciliation Framework (NRF) since 2017. The project phase I Supporting National and Local Level Reconciliation in Somalia started in April 2018 with support from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and was concluded in July 2019. The second phase of the project Support to the implementation of key provisions of the National Reconciliation Framework started in August 2019 and continues until end of September 2020. As a result of the project first phase, the draft of the NRF was successfully developed through extensive consultations with more than 700 state and non-state actors in all federal member states (FMS) and Banadiir Regional Administration. The NRF was validated in a national conference in Mogadishu between in February 2019, with participation of around 300 actors from Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), FMS’s governments and civil society across the country and approved by the Cabinet ministers in March 2019. The NRF proposes several interventions, activities and policy recommendations under its five-pillar structure, which are in line with the Network and FCA Somalia’s mission and programme and form the basis for this proposal. The second phase supports the effective operationalization of the NRF at national and Federal Member State (FMS) levels as well as at selected local level contexts through support to the capacity development of MoIFAR to effectively coordinate and monitor the implementation of NRF in collaboration with FMSs and other facilitating partners. The project empowers local peacemakers, and especially women peacemakers, in mediating local conflicts and supports Forgiveness media campaign and events including production and dissemination of documentaries on forgiveness to promote and advance community level peace and reconciliation. The project will also contribute to the dissemination of the NRF and publication of the framework document for the wider public.

Overview of position

The ultimate goal of strategic communications is to advance the national interest and to support national policies and objectives.

This would satisfy an implicit constitutional obligation laid upon democratic governments to inform and explain and, therefore, to communicate effectively. More simply put, strategic communications give OOP the chance explain themselves more clearly and convincingly in order to gain and maintain public support for policy, and to ensure that messages and actions do not conflict with each other and undermine the competence and reputation of government

Background

L’Union Européenne (UE), toujours sous la forme de projets, est le premier donateur d’aide au développement présent à Djibouti.

 

Tous les 7 ans, l’UE définit ensemble avec l’administration djiboutienne un Plan National Indicatif (PIN) qui identifie  les secteurs d’intervention prioritaires. Lors de sa révision à mi-parcours, en 2017, il a été convenu d’inclure le secteur de la justice parmi ses priorités. En conséquence, un document d’action a été élaboré dans ce domaine par l’UE conjointement avec le Ministère de la justice qui couvre évidemment aussi certains aspects liés aux Droits de l’Homme.

Le présent projet s’inscrit et répond à la réalisation des Objectifs de Développement Durable (ODD), en particulier à l’objectif stratégique 16 ainsi qu’à l’objectif stratégique 5, dans une moindre mesure.

De commun accord, mais en l’occurrence tripartite, le PNUD à Djibouti a été choisi comme l’organisation la mieux placée pour mettre en œuvre cet ambitieux projet.

À cet égard, il convient de noter la capacité démontrée du PNUD dans le monde entier à mettre en œuvre les programmes

sur l’état de droit et la justice. De plus, concrètement, le bureau de Djibouti a déjà mis en œuvre avec succès des initiatives compliquées dans ce domaine grâce aux bonnes relations qu’il entretient avec ses partenaires du secteur de la justice et des droits de l’homme, grâce à son positionnement stratégique auprès des institutions nationales pour la réalisation de l’objectif 16 des objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement :

Background Information – Job-specific

The EU Partnership Facility Project

 

The EU is currently funding the Resilience Programme for Somalia which is based on the objective “to revitalise and expand the Somali economy with a focus on livelihood enhancement, employment generation, and broad-based inclusive growth”, financed from the European Development Fund (EDF). Under this project UNOPS has been requested by the EU to provide support by filling in the identified gaps with flexible tools and mechanisms to implement the National Development Plan structure by establishing a Partnership Coordination Facility for Somalia. Coordinated efforts are essential in order to transform Somalia into a more resilient, and improved, economic sector with greater security, gender equity, improved human development, stronger infrastructure, and better access to basic services that are delivered by accountable governmental institutions. This transformation is hindered by slow institutions that are unable to respond quickly to emerging needs. The project will allow these needs to be identified by the Recovery and Resilience Framework (RRF) and Somalia’s 9th National Development Plan (NDP-9) Working Groups, and to be satisfied in a timely, strategic manner.

 

The RRF priorities and strategies have been mainstreamed into NDP 9 as policy imperatives that cut across the three working groups – Inclusive Politics, Economic Development and Social Development. To enhance the effective coordination and coherence of resilience activities, a government domiciled inter-ministerial resilience technical secretariat is to be formed to ensure effective working group operations, timely deliverables and improved alignment of financing to government resilience priorities as laid out in the RRF. The technical secretariats are mandated by the SDRF Steering Committee (SDRF SC) and designed to provide technical and administrative support to the Working Groups. There is also a need for development of the government’s capacity to monitor resilience programmes outcomes and impact on targeted beneficiaries in the short and medium term. Strengthening actors’ collaboration especially in their planning and joint implementation of resilience programs in Somalia is a critical component to achieving the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus.

 

The Partnership Coordination Project requires a Project Management Support Specialist (Resilience) to provide technical support and advice towards the achievement of the EU Resilience Programme Result 3 – “Enhanced capacities for the implementation and monitoring of a national resilience strategy,” – and government stakeholders, through implementation management, monitoring and evaluation working in close collaboration with the M&E

No. of Paralegals:2

Background

The Somalia Joint Justice Programme (JJP), launched in August 2018, is a 30-month programme supporting the Somalia National Development Plan 2017-2019 goal to “Establish independent, accountable and efficient justice institutions capable of addressing the justice needs of the people of Somalia”.

Recognizing the challenges facing the Somalia justice sector, the programme aims to contribute to sustainable security, peace and development by strengthening the capacity of justice actors to increasingly deliver justice services to users and communities in a human rights-compliant manner.

As part of the state building and federalization process, the programme focuses on establishing the foundation for a formal justice system that offers increasingly professional and standardized justice services. This includes a clear legal framework, particularly on judicial organization, and the establishment of key justice institutions at federal and state levels. The programme seeks to Increase access to justice for the most vulnerable communities by providing legal aid services through non- governmental organizations and civil society groups, such as legal aid centres. Key focus areas of the Programme include:

  • Federalization of the justice sector and facilitating the process to agree on a federated judiciary model, including supporting the establishment of key institutions and reviewing the legal framework.
  • Expanding justice services to new areas, especially those outside of state capitals, adopting community orientated approaches to improving local access to justice, and ensure stabilization.
  • Strengthening the capacity of justice institutions & promoting oversight, accountability and inclusivity.
  • Nationalizing training capacities and standardizing training programmes for justice sector personnel.

The Ministry of Justice of the Federal Government of Somalia is working on developing a federal mechanism for regulating, integrating and harmonizing legal aid services across the country in consultation with all relevant stakeholders.

The Ministry of Justice of the Federal Government of Somalia is also working on drafting Legal Aid Act for Somalia.

Moreover, the legal profession in Somalia has been growing over the past few years.

While Puntland lawyers have re-activated the Puntland Bar Association, lawyers in the emerging federal member states in south and central Somalia have yet to organize themselves. However, the federal Bar Association is reaching out to lawyers in the federal member states and it is expected that these initiatives will enable more lawyers to join the legal profession and eventually take up pro bono cases, which will ensure sustainability of legal aid services.

Description :

Organization: UN Development Programme
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 08 Jun 2017

Job Title: Young Graduate Fellow Programme Job Category: Intenship Location: Jowhar, Hirshabelle – Somalia

Primary Reporting Line: MOPIC

Secondary Reporting Line State Formation (StEFS) Project Team, UNDP, Somalia

Duration 3 months (Renewable subject to performance & funding)

Background

In 2012, after a long and troubled transition, a new political dispensation was found in Somalia, with the adoption of the Provisional Constitution, the selection of a new parliament, the election of president and formation of a new government. The challenges faced by the Federal and State Governments are enormous. The challenges can be summarized as follows:

  • The long civil war and looting have destroyed physical infrastructure, equipment and the institutional memory of most government agencies and ministries.
  • There is a lack of clarity on the mandate and functions across Federal and State Government institutions and between the federal and subnational levels of government.
  • Core work-processes in government have suffered in quality and consistency, and service delivery is in many areas virtually absent.
  • Staff capacity is low across the whole spectrum of government institutions with limited mechanisms to identify and redress these capacity gaps.

The Federal and State Governments face significant capacity challenges – at the individual, organizational and institutional level – in implementing their mandate and require institutional support to roll out the New Deal process and implement the different reforms.

On State Level, the Puntland Government is fairly well established. However, the process to establish new State Level governments in ‘south-central Somalia’ has started during 2014. This highly sensitive process is about merging different regions into a state level government administration. It requires an inclusive (political) debate and technical guidance.

The Support to Emerging Federal States (StEFS) Project is one of the Projects developed in response to the New Deal. Aligned to the priorities and principles spelled out in the Somali Compact, the StEFS Project aims to support the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and Emerging Federal States in achieving the Peace-building and State-building Goal (PSG) 1, Inclusive Politics Strategic Objective, to “achieve a stable and peaceful federal Somalia through inclusive political processes.”

StEFS builds on the positive gains, experience, expertise and added value of UNSOM and UNDP in advancing these processes while further delivering key capacity support needed for these new governance structures to function effectively within a nascent federal system.

The Project prescribes a coherent approach to address the needs of Emerging Federal States in addition to those federal level institutions that enable and facilitate the formation and development of these new state structures and federalism process.

Hirshabelle Interim Administration was established in October 2016. It comprises of Hiiran and Middle Shabelle regions.

Handicap International

Job Type

Location

Somaliland

Description :

Organization: Handicap International
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 29 May 2017

NGO PRESENTATION

Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.

Handicap International is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside disabled and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

For further information about the association: http://www.handicap-international.fr/

Present in more than 55 countries, Handicap International is composed of 2 operational directions:

  • The Direction of Humanitarian Action (DAH)
  • The Direction of Development Action (DAD)

CONTEXT OF THE MISSION

HI is opening the position of Inclusion / Access to Services Manager in Somaliland in order to respond to the current crisis affecting the Horn of Africa region.

In Northern Somalia (Somaliland and Puntland), the severe drought is affecting more than 240,000 people and more than 5 million people are living in areas currently experiencing drought. The Government of Somaliland declared drought on August 10, 2015 and failure of rainfall in two consecutive (Gu) seasons have resulted in acute shortage of water for farming, livestock and human consumption. These conditions have triggered a massive shortage of food, fodder, rapidly drying pasture and water. Consequently, malnutrition has increased among infants, children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, women- especially pregnant and lactating mothers.

Several humanitarian organizations coordinated by the Somaliland National Drought Committee (NDC) are currently scaling up their emergency response. The response focuses on basic needs – primarily around food security and WASH. However, based on Handicap International experience, the basic needs response does not include vulnerable persons/groups, not only of persons with disabilities but of those individuals, particularly children, who experience severe acute malnutrition which can result in development delays, as well as those that develop psycho-social trauma as a result of the emergency and related trauma. HI recently approached donors with a proposition of project in Somaliland consisting in a) conducting a comprehensive needs assessment on the impacts of the drought on vulnerable persons/groups and b) intervening in specific emergency response components based on HI’s expertise (e.g. stimulation and physical therapy for children with severe acute malnutrition, psychosocial support etc). Other project proposals are currently in process in response to the crisis in Somaliland.

DESCRIPTION

Based in Hargeisa and under the direct responsibility of the Emergency Coordinator and with the support and technical validation of HQ relevant Technical Referents, the Inclusion Manager will be responsible for:

-representing the organization in humanitarian forums and towards external actors at regional level and in his/her field of expertise

-ensuring technical coherence (of strategies, messages and tools) with the global HI Inclusion strategy in emergency settings (in link with HQ Technical Referent)
-reporting on the above activities as per requested by the line manager

SPECIFICITES

-security: HI operations in Somalia are conducted in Somaliland where security is overall under control, despite some periodic but rare outbreaks. Most activities are currently implemented with or through local non state actors. Non-Somali staffs are limited in numbers and operate under tight security rules, including movement restrictions. Given the highly volatile insecurity in the area, extending operations to South and Central Somalia is yet to be considered.
-accessibility: most areas are accessible, although some require police escort.

PROFILE RECHERCHE

-academic background related to Inclusion of excluded groups, Disability issues, Public health, Social work, Advocacy and/or Research
-at least 5 years of professional experience, including 2 in humanitarian context, preferably in emergency settings
-previous experience as an Inclusion Manager/Advisor

-strong training and organisational skills
-experience working in Somali context and/or experience of the Horn of Africa region would be assets
-strong interpersonal and intercultural skills

Consultant – School Assessment

Mercy Corps

Job Type

Full Time

Location

Somalia

Description :

Organization: Mercy Corps
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 17 May 2017

Overview

Mercy Corps is seeking a consultant to conduct an assessment of 57 secondary schools at 55 schools across Somalia and Somaliland using a tool modified by Mercy Corps.

Somali Youth Leadership Initiative (SYLI)

SYLI is a 5-year USAID-funded education and youth program with the goal of increased education and civic participation opportunities for Somali youth to reduce instability in target areas. The program, which is in its final stages, is being implemented by Mercy Corps, an INGO with operations across Somalia. To achieve the program goals, the program has a series of integrated activities that will work toward three Intermediate Results:

  1. Fair and equitable basic education services (primary, secondary and non-formal education) improved for at least 45,489 Somali youth, community members, and education officials through classroom construction and rehabilitation, teacher training, capacity building of education officials and improved community engagement in education issues.
  2. At least 12,700 youth have improved literacy, numeracy and life skills through provision of non-formal education (NFE) and training of NFE teachers.
  3. 50,000 youth empowered to participate and contribute positively and productively to society through strengthening of youth groups and safe spaces for youth dialogue and support for youth-led advocacy efforts and community improvement projects

The assignment

The engaged evaluator will be required to conduct an assessment at a list of schools provided by Mercy Corps, and will have two weeks to conduct field work, and one week to clean and code data, write a field report, and provide data sets to Mercy Corps. Mercy Corps requires that all data collection be done with electronic tools – either mobile phones or tablets – that are provided by the engaged evaluator.

Overview of School Assessment

Intermediate result one included the construction and rehabilitation of 61 schools across Somalia – 17 schools in Puntland, 21 schools in South Central, and 23 schools in Somaliland. In partnership with the respective ministries of education, Mercy Corps successfully improved the facilities at the schools and improved educational access for students in those communities.

A key indicator of the program is for schools to be considered as conducive learning environments, meaning that each school should provide an environment that is suited for learning. Mercy Corps has adapted the USAID Safe Schools Assessment Tool to better reflect the Somali Context and the realities on the ground. The revised tool – the Conducive Learning Environment Assessment Tool – looks at three core principles:

  1. Supported education programs provide a conducive physical environment for learners
  2. Supported education programs provide a conducive social environment for learners
  3. Supported education programs provide a conducive pedagogical environment for all learners

Each core principle has sub-categories to examine finer details of the physical, social, and pedagogical elements that ensure a conducive learning environment for Somali students. The tool has a series of questionnaires to collect the opinions of students, teachers, administrators, and community education committee members, to examine the adherence to the outlined core principles. Additionally the tool includes several facilities checklists. The combined results of these documents feeds into the ultimate scoring of a school to determine whether or not it qualifies as a conducive learning environment. The engaged consultant will implement the tool and collect and code the data, but ultimate scoring of the schools will lie with Mercy Corps.

Objectives:

  • Implement the Conducive Learning Environment Assessment Tool at accessible SYLI-supported schools
  • Encode and summarize data for each school
  • Provide feedback on the implementation of the tool – challenges and lessons learned

Methodology:

  • Administer surveys – Mercy Corps has developed a survey that will be used to assess each school’s adherence to the tool’s standards. Surveys will be administered to students, teachers, administrators, and community education committee members.
  • Administer facilities checklists – At each target school, administer the facilities checklist. This checklist examines the physical environment of the school.
  • Encode survey results – Encode and compile survey and facilities checklist results into Excel files to be used for analysis and scoring by Mercy Corps.
  • Document challenges and lessons learned – The field team will also document challenges using the tool and will provide lessons learned in the implementation of the tool.

Deliverables:

  • Administer the survey to students, teachers, administrators, and community education committee members at 57 target schools in Somaliland and Puntland
  • Combine survey days at overlapping schools with the impact assessment
  • Administer facilities and documents checklists at each school
  • Encode and compile data
  • Provide cleaned and summarized data set
  • Provide documentation of challenges and lessons learned

Scope of work:

The consultant will work the Mercy Corps M&E Specialist and local field staff to undertake the following actions:

  • Visit the 57 target secondary schools to administer the school assessment tool and impact assessment.
  • Provide regular field updates to Mercy Corps M&E Specialist concerning the progress of field data collection
  • Code the surveys and facilities checklists
  • Provide documentation of challenges and lessons learned in a field report

Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.

We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We’re changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.

The Child Protection Coordinator will generally be deployed as a field level coordinator in a medium or large scale emergency. Alternatively, they may be deployed as the lead adviser in a small emergency. On occasion they may also be asked to gap fill a field level coordinator role in a chronic humanitarian country programme. The overall aim of the Child Protection Coordinator will be to assess, design and guide staff to initiate interventions to address violations of childrens rights to protection from abuse, exploitation, violence and neglect. The Child Protection Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that quality programmes are initiated and capacities developed to provide these kinds of protection to children in a range of Save the Childrens emergency responses world-wide. The Child Protection Coordinator will be expected to lead on sectoral assessment, project planning, coordination, and support fundraising, recruitment and procurement, usually at a Provincial or sub-national level.

A. General context of the project

General context of the project

The Drought in Somalia has increased the malnutrition rates of rural children, and driven up food prices for urban residents. Overall, prices of coarse grains, in key markets of South and Central Somalia, were up to twice their levels of 12 months earlier. Livestock deaths and fire sales have slashed the asset wealth of pastoralists, and cumulative bad harvests will make recovery all the harder for small-scale farmers.

Al Shabaab area of influence is well known to cover most of the rural areas in South Central Somalia and humanitarian access is therefore reduced significantly with increasing the possibility of famine. In Diinsor for example the access to the villages surrounding the town is estimated to be of a radius of 5 to 10 KM only. In Wajid, Bakool Region, the radius is about 30 KM.

The number of people in need of assistance in Somalia has increased from 5 Million to over 6.2 Million in February 2017. This data includes a drastic increase in the number of people in crisis and emergency from 1.1 Million six months ago to nearly 3 Million projected for February to June 2017. 65% are estimated to be in rural areas, 18% in urban areas and 17% are Internally displaced person (IDP). 3.3 Million people are categorized as Stressed in IPC Phase 2.

Health needs have also increased dramatically across the country. AWD/Cholera cases and deaths continue to rise sharply due to the depletion of water sources as result of the worsening drought. The need for essential life-saving medicines has increased and more affected areas are in need of urgent support with life-saving medicines. Some 9,192 cases and 232 related deaths were recorded in the first two months of 2017, with a high number in hard to reach areas of Bay and Bakool.

Projection estimates 4.5 Million people in need of WASH services by the end of April 2017. Situation of children is especially grave. Some 363.000 Children acutely malnourished. School children are dropping out due to the drought. The education cluster also estimates that if the situation deteriorate to the level of 2011 50,000 school going children will be displaced.

· review members’ response against appropriate DAC criteria;

Organization: Save the Children
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 21 Apr 2017

TERMS OF REFERENCE

FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SOMALILAND TVET STRATEGY

1, 0 Introduction:

A consortium of Save the Children International (SCI), CARE Netherlands and Norwegian Refugees Council (NRC) are implementing Horumarinta Elimiga Phase II (HE II) Program with SCI as the lead agency. The program is being implemented in partnership with Ministry of Education & Higher Studies (MOE&HS). The European Commission (EC) funded program is aimed at contributing to a sustainable, cohesive education system offering relevant services to the majority of the relevant age groups in Somaliland. The Technical Vocational Education & Training (TVET) is one of the major components of this program. The project has a target of reaching 1,100 disadvantaged youth (50% females) through the provision of employable skills training, linked with Employment Promotion Services and functional literacy/numeracy training. The skills training is being conducted in Vocational Training Centers and Host training Enterprises located in the major towns of Somaliland.

So far, skills training has been offered up to skill proficiency level 3.Past labor
market studies have indicated that there is a need to scale up skills training to the next level of
training (level 3 and above). The need for higher level Polytechnic and technical institutes skills training is demonstrated by MOE&HE effort in upgrading Hargeisa Vocational training center into a Technical Institute and enrollment of primary school graduates for a three program in various skills..

MOE&HE has expressed dissatisfaction with the current short term certificate skill training mainly supported by different partners due eminent un-employment saturation. Past labor market skills surveys, studies and MOE&HE have expressed need to scale up TVET training to higher levels and upgrading of some VTCs into Technical Schools and National Polytechnics besides overall quality enhancement to address lack of regional comparability of standards, international competitiveness, facilitation of learner’s mobility, access and equity, appropriate learning pathways and progression loops, and uncoordinated skills training by different NGOs meaning the current VQA / F requires – reviews and approvals.

The Strategy on higher level skills training envisions provision of relevant higher level skills for industrial and economic development, improved access, equity, employability and assurance on quality. This will entail a participative all-inclusive analysis to inform appropriate rational strategies that guide policy maker’s decision making. In addition the process will guide review of the current VQA/F structure to enhance relevance, training qualification pathways and beneficiary progression towards higher level skills and employment training. This will also position the VTCs and Secondary Technical Institutes within the VQF progression pathway. To ensure continuity, the VTCs level training will remain a critical progression path that benefits primary graduates who fails admission into formal education or higher level technical pathway, benefitting formal education graduates thus enhancing self-employment, job placements and some extent stem migration practices by College and university graduates..

2.0 Scope of work

The Strategy will provide a practical guide on a limited pilot upgrading of some VTCs into a number of Technical schools and a Polytechnic. The – strategy will model a cost effective pilot by MOE&HE on technical facilitative aspects that includes designs and structures outline, curriculum review and development, equipment, technology levels, manpower forecast and development, quality training, phased tasks, timing and schedules, cost estimates, potential financing and a framework planning matrix to inform strategic contractual implementation strategies. The guide will design a suitable cost recovery and private sector linkages model, identification of development partners and resources mobilization to enhance achievement of desired – goals in a phased approach. To ensure a coherent strategy, an LFA, will be developed.SCI will support MOE&HE convene a pre strategy consultative stakeholder’s forum to review and design a coherent all-inclusive VQF qualifications pathways as a validated input towards higher level skills training.

3.0 Expected outcome:

The objective of this consultancy is to develop a sound strategy for the TVET system in Somaliland. The strategy will inform progression of current TVET system into advanced level of technical skills training system. In addition, it will give foundational guidelines to different types of TVET trainings to be executed in Somaliland.

4.0 Specific Tasks:

The consultant will undertake the following tasks:

  1. Analyse the current MOE&HE Education and TVET policies, studies and strategies including Horumarinta Elimiga phases 1 and 2 documents, studies and relevant reports to input assessment on current training system inherent structural/institutional strengths, weakness opportunities and constraints.
  2. Based on a rational training value chain analysis – Horumarinta Elimiga phases 1 and 2 -develop a strategy to strengthen current VTC skills training and employment of the graduates.
  3. Document appropriate strategies to overcome current MOE&HE organizational and training provision constraints and means of tapping inherent strengths and opportunities.
  4. Analyse the social cultural, economic trends, technological factors to identify potential economic sectors for growth, existence of untapped demand driven skills to input justification for VQA/F reviews, higher level Institutional based skills training and employment trends.
  5. Through an inclusive process input modifications on current MOE&HE VQF progression pathways to enhance skills training and employment equity, access, relevance, flexible pathways and progression.
  6. Outline a phased rational approach towards upgrading of some VTCs into Secondary Technical Institutes and a National polytechnic within current and potential means of MOE&HE
  7. Develop Technical secondary Institutes and a Polytechnic mainstreaming strategy including modelling, structures, curriculum development, equipment, appropriate technologies, manpower, forecasts, phased piloting tasks, schedules, cost estimates, financing opportunities.
  8. Map out MOE&HE skills training partners and stakeholders, sources of financing and potential next steps. Clearly demonstrate the contribution of the private sector towards skills training and employment.

Description :

Organization: CTG Global
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 30 Apr 2017

Overview of CTG Global:

CTG support and manage humanitarian projects in fragile and conflict-affected countries around the world. With past performance in 15 countries – from the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and Central and South America – we offer a holistic fabric of project management, implementation and support. Skilled in emergency response to crises such as the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, we have the ability to act quickly (crisis response teams can be on the ground in 24 hours) and to establish structured operations in high-risk environments. CTG recruit and manage qualified, skilled teams with extensive experience operating in challenging conditions.

Overview of position:

The Federal Government of Somalia has requested UNDP to help in formulation of a project proposal for funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The project is to contribute towards enhancing the coping capacities of a large segment of the rural Somali population vulnerable to extreme climatic events, such as, droughts and floods. The project will build on on-going initiatives of UNDP and other development partners. Additionally, the project will have collaboration with key national and international institutions to support Somalia to be better prepared against the climate induced shocks and reduce the humanitarian crises resulting from recurring climatic disasters.

Somalia is among the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change and climate variability, a situation aggravated by the interaction of multiple stresses, occurring at various levels and coupled with a low adaptive capacity among the population. In Somalia, poverty, environmental degradation, migration and conflict are some of the major root causes for extreme vulnerability of the population, which is predicted to worsen due to climate change. The existing major climate hazards in Somalia are droughts and extreme flooding events. In addition, there are other climate-related phenomena such as dust storms, heat waves and cyclonic winds whose occurrences, though less frequent, still pose serious threats to local livelihoods and future climate change is expected to see all of these hazards intensify.

UNDP-Somalia under its program PREP has been supporting the national/regional govt in Somalia to benefit from the global climate financing. The NAPA in response to climate change for Somalia was completed in April 2013. The NAPA was prepared by the federal govt. of Somalia with the support of UNDP. NAPA highlights the priority actions for building the coping capacities of the institutions and communities against the negative impacts of climate change. As a follow-up of NAPA, the government of Somalia and UNDP financed the LDCF1 project “Enhancing Climate Resilience of the Vulnerable Communities and Ecosystems in Somalia” to implement priority actions identified in the NAPA. The GCF full proposal will build off the lessons learned and successes of the LDCF1 project by up scaling and building upon the project.

A consultant will support the formulation of the feasibility study and the full proposal in line with UNDP and GCF procedures. The International Team Leader Dr. Cara Tobin, will set the activities plan for the national consultant for data collection, site visits, workshop facilitation and coordination with the key stakeholders, technical reporting etc.

Role objectives:

The main objective of the assignment is to conduct site visits to determine the selected sites and prioritized adaptation measures for GCF project intervention. The sites will be selected based on a list of adaptable criteria. The facilitator must also use participatory processes to detail the adaptation measures required for GCF financing. These measures must be prioritized based on a cost-effectiveness and alternatives analysis.

Expected output:

The activities for the project formulation will have to be in accordance with the standard procedures established by GCF.

The Field Coordinator will play a key role in coordinating and supporting the project document formulation under the guidance of International Team Leader and Project Manager UNDP/PREP. The scope of work will include:

Description :

Organization: Danish Refugee Council
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 15 Apr 2017

1. BACKGROUND

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a private, independent, humanitarian organization working on all aspects of the refugee cause in more than 30 countries throughout the world. The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and its sister organization DDG has been providing relief, humanitarian community safety, and early recovery/development services in the Horn of Africa since 1997. The aim of DRC is to protect refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) against persecution and to promote durable solutions to the problems of forced migration, on the basis of humanitarian principles and human rights. DRC works in accordance with the UN Conventions on Refugees and the Code of Conduct for the ICRC and NGOs in Disaster Relief. The Danish Demining Group (DDG) aims to recreate a safe environment where people can live without the threat of landmines, unexploded ordinances and small arms and light weapons. These goals can be effectively advanced through cooperation and joint action with other organization as well as with integration of operations and programs with its sister organization, the DRC.

In Somalia, DRC is providing relief and development services using a human rights framework, aiming at supporting IDPs, returnees and host communities affected by conflict and natural disasters. Currently, the main sectoral programms include; Food Security and Livelihoods; NFI/Shelter; WASH and Infrastructure; Protection and Advocacy; Community-Driven Recovery and Safety; as well as Emergency Response on a case-by-case basis. The DRC Somalia program is guided by DRC HoA & Yemen 2016 Strategic Program Document which is aims at ensuring synergy and complementarity of all humanitarian interventions in the region.

Cash for Food Security Support in Somalia (CAFSS) Project

For more than two decades, Somalia has experienced violence, conflict and lawlessness, which has exacerbated poverty and hardship, undermined social and economic development, and made it challenging for the international community to address humanitarian and development priorities. Long-standing conflicts, drought and floods have disrupted livelihoods, and food security coping mechanisms, with repeated failure of crops, diminishing water resources and water quality, depleted livestock, rising food prices and deteriorating purchasing power. Today, about 6.2 million people — or are in need of life-saving or food assistance. More than 1.1 million people remain internally displaced and have been waiting for too long for durable solutions to change the course of their ordeal. An estimated 363,000 children under the age of 5 years are acutely malnourished, with 71, 000 of them facing death if not treated.

Recurrent shocks and poor access to services continue to require a strong focus on community resilience. As the majority of Somalis depend on subsistence farming and pastoralism for their livelihoods, seasonal shocks such as flooding and drought continue to cause critical humanitarian needs on a regular basis, with an impact on the already weak economy. Despite concerted efforts of the various humanitarian actors in the country, regional governments and the Somali Federal Government (SFG), some of the country’s most vulnerable populations remain in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and protection. This is the situation not only among those who reside in South/Central region, but there are thousands of affected populations that are food insecure and have limited access to basic needs in other parts of the country in Somaliland and Puntland.

The goal of the CAFSS project is to improve the food security of the targeted food insecure households through provision of conditional and unconditional cash transfers. The cash transfers are meant to increase the purchasing power for target households with limited access to food commodities that are readily available in the local markets. Cash transfers are deemed to be a dignified means of supporting beneficiaries as they allow them to make their own choices in terms of the types and quantities of food to purchase. DRC is targeting the extremely food insecure households and expects that a significant proportion of the cash will be spent on food with only a small proportion of the cash grant being spent on other essential items. The predictable cash transfers will ensure that the targeted households are able to meet their basic food needs when labor opportunities are few, limiting income and access to food. DRC estimates to reach around 32,826 beneficiaries through this project. 70% of the total target beneficiaries will be IDPs while the rest will be identified from the host communities.

2. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MARKET ASSESSMENT

Markets are social arrangements that facilitate both physical and virtual exchange of goods, services and information among market actors. Market conceptualized as a system comprises a network of various market players; associated infrastructure, inputs and services- connected market chains; and rules and norms that shape market engagements. Markets are therefore critical for the poor not only as consumers and producers but also in terms of access to capital and market-based information. Markets also make an important contribution to dimensions of food security in relation to availability, access and stability. While at the most basic level markets involve the production, distribution and exchange of goods and services, well-functioning, healthy, and equitable markets have more nuanced qualities. These markets are inclusive of the most vulnerable actors including women, youth and persons with disabilities; resilient to possible shocks; and are responsive to consumers’ needs and preferences. This assessment will collect information on market dynamics in the face of the changing household economy and humanitarian environment to inform program design and planning of resilience and cash-based programs by DRC in Somalia.

  • Provide an in-depth district-wise profile of food-insecure and vulnerable people, and their livelihoods.
  • Provide an analysis of markets, their functioning and price trends in the targeted locations including an analysis of risk (hazards, natural disasters, economic shocks, etc) and their potential impact on the most vulnerable.
  • Provide a differentiated analysis of the current situation of different populations sets (including IDPs, returnees, refugees, host communities or pastoralists/agro-pastoralists) with regards to food access, market opportunities, gaps, and vulnerabilities and challenges to be addressed.
  • Analyse the impact of drought on food-security with reference to levels of vulnerability, numbers affected, where they live (locations), reasons for food-insecurity and asset deterioration.
  • Identify value chains that have economic potential in both domestic and international markets, for further analysis. Are we able to accurately do this with the beneficiaries identified and selected?
  • Provide a comprehensive analysis of the households livelihood situation and their capacity in relation to cash for assets and cash relief – including but not limited to an analysis of purchasing patterns, transport and distribution networks, agricultural inputs systems, market absorption capacity of vocational skills and other livelihood products.
  • Assess urban and rural market drivers and their role in creating enabling conditions for the different livelihood groups, covering contextual factors and identifying the gaps to be addressed.
  • Establish the appropriate assistance to reduce vulnerability and food insecurity taking into account political, socio-economic and agro-ecological context, food supplies, markets, livelihoods, coping strategies, nutrition, health, education, etc.
  • Identify the root causes of food insecurity and vulnerability among populations affected.
  • Provide assessment of the most preferred and feasible resource transfer modalities and mechanisms in the project target areas.
  • Recommendations for programmatic approaches to address short term to medium priorities with regards to strengthening and expanding livelihood opportunities and systems and building resilience to withstand possible shocks.

3. SCOPE OF CONSULTANCY

Somalia

Description :

Organization: Farsight Africa Group Ltd.
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 09 Apr 2017

Background

In February 2007, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1744 authorized the deployment of African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). This force is mandated to conduct peace support operations in Somalia to stabilize the situation in the country in order to create viable conditions for humanitarian assistance. AMISOM’s work falls within five (5) geographic sectors in Somalia, and is divided into the following thematic areas: military, police, humanitarian work, civilian and maritime.

Working closely with AMISOM is the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), which was established in May 2013 by the United Security Council, with a core mandate to provide policy advice to the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and AMISOM on peace and statebuilding goals in the areas of governance, security sector reform (SSR) and rule of law (RoL), development of a federal system, electoral process, and coordination of international donor support. UNSOM exercises its mandate in accordance with the principles of Somali ownership. UNSOM is also mandated to help build FGS’s capacity to promote respect for human rights and women’s empowerment, promote child protection, prevent sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and strengthen justice institutions.

The UN Security Council Resolution 1863 of January 2009 established United Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) with a mandate to deliver logistical support package to AMISOM which included strategic communication capacity promoting AMISOM and UNSOM efforts.

The AU/UN Information Support Team (IST) brings together a consortium of companies that provides strategic communication support to AMISOM, UNSOM and UNSOS. The overall strategic communication support by AU/UN IST to AMISOM, UNSOM and UNSOS is to build Somali and international support for their efforts to assist the FGS and the Somali people to build a stable, peaceful and prosperous Somalia, based on the respect for the rule of law, as well as Somali tradition, culture and values.

The IST Consortium developed a comprehensive communication strategy on the basis of the situation in Somalia, the mandates of AMISOM and UNSOM to shift the narrative in Somalia by delivering communication campaigns in the following five (5) thematic areas:

(i) Inclusive politics

(ii) Security

(iii) Justice

(iv) Economic foundations

(v) Revenue and services

The specific objectives of AU/UN IST are the following:

· Reaffirm AU/AMISOM’s core purpose in Somalia

· Reinforce the FGS

· Foster dialogue, reconciliation and settlement

· Undercut clan violence and criminal activity

In December 2014, quantitative baseline survey of citizens’ perceptions of peace and stabilization initiatives in Somalia was carried out to gather public opinion, attitudes and trends on security, participation in the peace process, national building and governance institutions, women’s and children’s rights and the democratization process of Somalia. The results of the baseline survey fed into the strategic communication and peacebuilding initiatives.

An end-line survey is planned to measure the impact of implemented initiatives on public opinion, attitudes, and trends on security, participation in the peace process, statebuilding, perception of governance institutions, and the democratization process of Somalia.

1. Objectives of the Survey

The overall goal of this survey is to follow-up on the citizens’ perceptions of peace, stabilization and statebuilding initiatives in Somalia. That is, the main aim of the end-line quantitative opinion survey is to track public opinion, attitudes, trends, narratives and media coverage to inform the development of the communication strategy and implementation plan.

The specific objectives of this survey are the following:

· To track public opinion, attitudes, trends, and media behavior in comparison to the baseline indicator.

· To assess the impact of the various peacebuilding initiatives that has been implemented in the last one year and how they reflect on citizens’ perceptions.

· To inform the development of the communication strategy and implementation plan moving forward.

2. Issues to be Studied

Through measurement and comparison with baseline data on the key variables of interest outlined below, the survey will provide data to aid in the design of the strategic communications campaigns alongside other interventions in the rebuilding of a peaceful and prosperous Somalia, as well as measure the effectiveness of the same.

The twelve (12) key information areas of the baseline report will be reviewed in this survey include:

I. Peace and reconciliation

II. Stabilization process

III. security sector reform (SSR) and rule of law institutions

IV. Capacity building

(iii) People’s perception of the Somali government/governance institutions.

· Are people getting enough support and services from the government?

· Assessing the outgoing/former government.

(iv) People’s views vis-à-vis AMISOM’s planned exit strategy 2018-2020.

(v) People’s support or views towards Al-Shabaab versus AMISOM.

· Since AS lost territories to SNA and AMISOM have they also lost popularity and support among the people?

(vi) Preferred news and information media frequently used by the Somali people – both traditional and social media. Example: Which radio stations are popularly used by Somalis – VOA, BBC, etc?

(vii) AMISOM Quick Impact Projects (QIPs):

· How the AMISOM QIPs have been impact on the beneficiaries? What impact have AMISOM QIPs had on the people?

· How are the AMISOM QIPs received and perceived by the recipient communities?

The survey will employ a quantitative research methodology. By definition quantitative research involves collecting numerical data that can be analyzed using mathematical statistical methods.

Background

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, GIS and remote-sensing. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

ACTED is a French humanitarian NGO, founded in 1993, which supports vulnerable populations, affected by humanitarian crises worldwide. ACTED provides continued support to vulnerable communities by ensuring the sustainability of post-crisis interventions and engaging long-term challenges facing our target populations, in order to break the poverty cycle, foster development and reduce vulnerability to disasters.

  • Use markets and other key information available to inform situation and response analysis and develop technically sound proposals
  • Gather additional information on needs and market functionality when necessary

Capacity-building and implementation

  • Carry out training and build the capacity of RI staff and partners in all aspects of cash-based and/or market-based programming, including for implementation, adaptation, monitoring and evaluation of market-based and cash-based programming.
  • Ensure consistence and coherence in use of implementation and monitoring tools in collaboration with the Global Cash advisor
  • Work in close collaboration with other members of the team to ensure an integrated approach to meet the other basic needs of the affected population

External Representation

Description :

ORGANIZATIONAL LOCATION:

Regional Office for Africa, Somalia Programme UN-HABITAT

DUTY STATION:

MOGADISHU

FUNCTIONAL TITLE:

Programme Coordinator

CONTRACT TYPE:

Consultancy

POST DURATION

11 months (with possibility of extension depending on performance and availability of funding

CLOSING DATE:

30 March 2017

Background:
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. UN-HABITAT helps the urban poor by transforming cities into safer, healthier, greener places with better opportunities where everyone can live with dignity. It works with organizations at every level, including all spheres of government, civil society and the private sector to help build, manage, plan and finance sustainable urban development. Currently, UN-Habitat is supporting the Federal Government of Somalia to develop durable solutions for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Refugee Returnees (RRs).
Over 1.1 million people, or nearly ten percent, of the Somali population live in protracted internal displacement. Another one million Somalis are in displacement in neighboring countries, bringing the total displaced population to approximately 20% of the current estimated population of Somalia. Most IDPs live in unplanned and informal settlements in urban areas. For example, Mogadishu is home to nearly 400,000 IDPs , which is over one third of the overall internally displaced population in Somalia. About 55% of the IDPs are concentrated in two of Mogadishu’s peripheral districts. Overall, this constitutes one of the highest IDP concentrations across the African continent. Protracted internal displacement is therefore an inherently urban phenomenon in Somalia and must be addressed against a backdrop of increasing urbanization and growing rural-urban migration trends, with one of the highest urban growth rates in the world. Additionally, 55% of the almost 3,000 RR families from Yemen settled in IDP settlements in Mogadishu, and in 2016 alone 6,332 refugees from Kenya returned to Mogadishu under UNHCR’s voluntary repatriation programme.
In this context, UN-Habitat, UNDP, UNHCR, CESVI, SWDC and SIDO have formed a consortium and developed a joint programme proposal for the EU-Reinteg call for proposals under the 11th European Development Fund, which the European Union approved in December 2016. Start date for the programme called “EU-Reinteg: Innovative durable solutions for IDPs and returnees in Mogadishu through enhanced governance, employment and access to basic and protective services” is 1 April 2017. Over a three year period, the programme facilitates the gradual resolution of the protracted displacement of IDPs in Mogadishu, notably by enhancing local integration capacity. The programme focuses on: (a) strengthening relevant governance structures through capacity building and accountability mechanisms to create the relevant sustainability potential for solutions, on (b) implementing innovative, replicable and scalable solutions for basic and protective service delivery and employment, and, (c) producing, by the end of the programme, a comprehensive and implementable urban durable solution strategy which includes financing schemes for the scale and complexity of Mogadishu’s IDP situation. This programme originates from and directly supports the Somalia IDP Solutions Initiative led by the Federal Government of Somalia represented through the Deputy Prime Minister and the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator and which builds on the primary role and responsibility of authorities to support durable solutions.

Organization: CANADEM
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 07 Mar 2017

CANADEM is seeking seasoned professionals with previous relevant experience with information management who are available for an immediate deployment to Mogadishu, Somalia as a seconded expert with OCHA for a 5 month contract.

Position Title: Information Management Officer

Duration: 5 months
Location: Mogadishu, Somalia
Position Grade: P3

Brief description of emergency outbreak/upsurge and the consequences for OCHA:

Somalia is in the grip of an intense drought, induced by two consecutive seasons of poor rainfall. In tlie worst affected areas, inadequate rainfall and lack of water has wiped out crops and killed livestock, while communities are being forced to sell their assets, and borrow food and money to survive. The humanitarian situation has rapidly deteriorated and renewed famine is a strong possibility in 2017, only six years after a devastating famine led to the death of more than a quarter million people – half of them children. Out of 12.3 million Somalis, over half (6.2 million) are now in need of humanitarian assistance, up from five million in September, Of these nearly 3 million need urgent life-saving assistance, another drastic increase from 1.1 million six months ago. Displacement, malnutrition and drought-related diseases are all on the rise. Some 363,000 acutely malnourished children need urgent nutrition support, including life-saving treatment for more than 71,000 severely malnourished children. The total case load for one year will be 944,000 acutely malnourished children, including 185,000 severely so. School children are dropping out due to the drought, Children and women are also more at risk of violence and abuse during such times. The drought is already exacerbating competition for resources such as water and increasing possibilities of local tensions. Drought-related distress migration from rural areas to towns, other regions or into Ethiopia in search of life-saving and livelihood opportunities is higher than in 2011. Already over 3,000 Somalis have crossed the border into Ethiopia,

The Humanitarian Country Team has launched a famine prevention plan covering January to June seeking $825 million to reach 5.5 million people with life-saving assistance.

OCHA’s role and key challenges:

OCHA Somalia’s main IM role is to provide quality information and information products to support decision making within the humanitarian coordination structures in place, at the national, state level and international level. Presently, OCHA does not have IM presence in the field and inevitably, this affects the timeliness of IM support that can be offered to field operations, This affects operations negatively as the fluidity of the crisis requires response in very short timeframes or in real time* which is proving to be difficult with current staff limitations. The humanitarian community has come to expect key IM products from OCHA, although we are in a position to produce most of them, the nature of the drought crisis is such that more products are being demanded by the humanitarian community and it is becoming very difficult to meet that demand because of the lack of adequate staffing. The communication with the field offices is not very reliable, which makes it very difficult to offer remote IM support from Nairobi.

Main partners and stakeholders in the field:

Currently OCHA Somalia collects information through Cluster coordinators, Cluster IMOs and the OCHA Somalia field team. The OCHA IM unit also supports the information management needs of the HC, HCT and ICCQ to help decision-making processes. In absence of strong government systems, OCHA IM is one of the few agency-led sources of credible information that is necessary inform appropriate decision making.

Travel within country/region required?

The IMO may be required to travel within the country and to Nairobi. The office will make budget provisions to cover the travel costs.

Details on security situation/structure and staff well-being (e.g. security level, living conditions?);

Mogadishu is a High Risk level duty station. All areas to travel on mission are also currently considered High Risk level, with the exception of Awdal region in “Somaliland” which is medium. Accommodation in Mogadishu at the MIA and in all other location is MOSS/MORSS compliant. Deployment to Mogadishu requires a four-day SSAFE training organized by DSS in Nairobi. More detailed information will be made available upon arrival.

Main tasks and duties to be executed:

· Manage the information management needs of the Operations Centre in Mogadishu

Organization: Adeso
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 01 Mar 2017

ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

Adeso, formerly known as Horn Relief, is an expanding and vibrant African-based international organization, working with communities to create environments in which Africans can thrive. We work to prevent and overcome situations that adversely affect community well-being by: reinvigorating the economy, developing skills for life and work, providing humanitarian aid, and influencing policy. Our belief that economic, social and environmental security is the bedrock of a healthy community drives the nature and intent of our programming. Adeso has been strengthening rural livelihood and delivering innovative humanitarian aid and development programs for the past 26 years. Currently, we have programs in Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan. Adeso is an exciting, dynamic organization experiencing managed rapid growth. It offers sound employment conditions with opportunities for personal growth and development.

POSITION SUMMARY

Adeso is seeking a competent consulting firm or qualified individuals with specialties in evaluating Agriculture & Food Security, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (Wash) and review of disaster management component of the projects; to evaluate the impact of Adeso’s Supporting Pastoral-Agro Pastoral & Urban Poor through Recovery initiatives (SPUR) Project in Somalia/Somaliland. The consultancy is for a period of 30 days, beginning a few days after the application deadline of March 1, 2017 and will include desk review work, field data collection, data analysis, report writing and a presentation of the findings to the field team and Nairobi. Adeso encourages Consultancy firms or groups who can assign specific consultant specialized in WASH, Disaster reduction/ management and in Agriculture & food security.

PROJECT SUMMARY

SPUR is a 12 Month project funded by USAID-OFDA (April 2016 – March 2017). SPUR utilized a community-driven development approach to strengthen social, economic and respond to emergency and recovery projects in Mudug and Sanaag regions to provide support to vulnerable groups affected by emergency crisis. These interventions aim at improving livelihood of the project beneficiaries by protecting livelihood assets but also improve access to water and sanitation through rehabilitation of water facilities and improve the design to cater for sanitation and hygiene promotion component and to build resilience among most affected households. The project built on the gains realized in the SCORES II project, implemented by Adeso in 2015-2016, which provided humanitarian assistance as part of emergency response. It also adopted a multi sector strategy that links emergency interventions to recovery by strengthening recovery of livelihood and rehabilitation of communal water source assets in order to address emergency needs and develop opportunities for community asset building among most vulnerable households.

SPUR was designed to go beyond short-term crisis response and focus on enhancing household capacity to address recurrent problems such as food security and sanitation. The project included the following major components: provision of agricultural inputs, community based public health initiatives and the strengthening of early warning systems to include livelihood-saving early warning messages to communities through the Disaster Management Authority. These components complement each other and when combined, actively support households to maintain their livelihood strategies while addressing key WASH problems.

Currently Adeso is developing a strategy that is primarily hinged on a social safety nets approach. This strategy is geared towards building reliance not only at the household level but at the community level as well.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT

The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the progress made towards achievement of the overall and specific objectives of the project, its impacts on the lives of beneficiaries who have been directly involved in the project activities, including their families, communities and on the responses of policy makers at local and national levels after the end of the implementation period. The assessment will also help determine any impact the project has produced on the main target communities and project beneficiaries in terms of meeting their food security needs, improving access to clean water, increasing livelihood security and improving disaster preparedness. The evaluation will also gauge the level of community and other stakeholder participation and ownership of the implementation process including the identification of the intended and unintended outcomes, best practices and lessons learned as well as challenges arising from programme implementation. In addition, the evaluation will come up conclusions and recommendations on the way forward.

Specific Objectives

Investment in Children: Measuring and Tracking

Child Protection, Education and Health budgets in Somaliland and Puntland

Background

For over 90 years, Save the Children has been making a difference in children’s lives in more than 120 countries. We are the world’s largest independent child rights organisation, underpinned by a vision in a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. Our mission to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC) in its Article 4 places an obligation on all governments, including the poorest, to make the most out of their resources in order to invest to the ‘maximum extent of their resources’ in children and to ensure that all local and national resources are well spent to bring about positive outcomes for children. Children’s rights remain hollow promises if they are not backed up by appropriate financial allocations and expenditures by the respective governments. . Governments have a core role in making public investments to the fulfilment of children’s rights and wellbeing as highlighted in the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child General Comment 19: Public Budgeting for the Realization of Children’s Rights.[1]

Child Rights Governance is one of the five thematic areas of Save the Children Somalia/Somaliland (SCISOM) Country Office. One of the sub-thematic intervention in the CRG work is Investment in Children (IiC) focusing on child rights based budgeting. Child rights based budgeting consists of a critical element of analysing, measuring and tracking national budgets to determine whether sufficient resources are being allocated, and spent in sectors such as Education, Health and Protection which have a high impact on children’s lives.

To this end, one of the activities of the CRG components of the Danida frame and Norad projects in Somaliland and Puntland respectively is to measure and track budgets in the Education, Health and Child Protection sectors. SCISOM therefore seeks to engage the services of qualified International Consultant/s or firm with demonstrated expertise in child rights based budget work.

Consultancy objectives

The general objective of this study is aimed at improving government budget allocation and spending on child protection, education and health sectors in Somaliland and Puntland, through generating data and evidence on the efficiency, effectiveness and equity of government allocation and spending

Specific objectives

  • To conduct a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the adequacy, equitable, allocative efficiency and utilization of the education, protection and health budgets of Somaliland and Puntaland mainly within a national level (Hargeisa, Garowe capital towns).
  • To establish visibility of child protection budgetary allocations by the Somaliland and Puntland. governments
  • To establish adequacy of budgets in order to effectively implement child protection interventions
  • To establish the extent to which the public including children are involved in the budget process
  • To develop an advocacy action plan based on the findings of the study for increased and efficient use of budgets within the education, health and child protection sector in fulfillment of the Child Rights principles of non-discrimination, best interests of the child, participation and the right to survival and development

Scope of services

The study will be conducted at national levels within Hargeisa, and Garowe. In Somaliland, the consultancy work covers tracking budgets on education & child protection and in Puntland in education, health and child protection. The consultant shall ensure completion of the following activities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the consultancy contract:

  • Identify existing policies in child protection, education, health and analyse or measure the governments commitment to implement the policies.
  • Assess and analyse the amount of budget allocated and spent (adequacy, equality, effectiveness and efficiency of of budget allocation) to the ministries of Education and Health as percentage of the GDP, and as a total of the public expenditure, and in relation to other selected sectors to be identified at a later stage.
  • Analyse trends or percentage change in the government’s allocation and expenditure on primary education and health care since the year 2012.
  • Make detailed analysis of the structure of the education and health budgets by looking into its internal distribution across programmes (early childhood development, primary, secondary, tetiary level , vocational skills trainings, , child health, maternal health) and further analyse budgets based on cost areas (such as capital and recurrent, salaries, overheads, teachers’ salaries etc).
  • Assess and analyse the proportion of education and health budget that mostly benefit children (primary school children -such as text books, library, furniture, teachers training) and child health as percentage of administration costs.
  • Analyse the impact of budgetary choices on specific groups such as disabled children, street children, children of minority groups, children in selected IDP camps.
  • Assess and analyse the trends in changes in education and health situation of children.

  • Identify key advocacy issues. An advocacy plan will be developed by SCISOM staff.
  • Provide practical recommendations including how to implement the recommendations.
  • Present the key findings in validation workshops to be organised in Hargeisa, Somaliland and Garowe, Puntland.

Scope of measuring and tracking the Child Protection budget

Child protection work is complex and not clearly defined. This is because, violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of children are entrenched within social, economic, political and cultural fabrics of societies. Violence against children happen in private and public settings and assume many different forms. Child protection policies, buddgets and interventions are usually scattered in various government ministries such as Labour and Social Affairs, Women Development and Family Affairs, Justice, Legal affairs, Education and Health

It is thereofre not the responsibility of one government department, but every government ministry and department , to ensure that reasonable efforts are undertaken to ensure that children are protected from all forms of violence, abuse and neglect, based on the purview and mandate of each specific government department.

Child protection budget is defined as the sum total of all budgeted interventions, in any given area that directly contribute to the prevention and or response to abuse, exploitation, neglect and violence affecting children.

The key tasks in tracking the child protection budget includes mapping of government organisations including specific departments within ministries that work and allocate budget for the following CP interventions:

  • Government departments such as children’s desks, national coordination mechansims or focal points that Coordinate child protection activities and coordinate and engage in child protection working groups (CPWGs).
  • Child protection policy and law reform
  • Institutions of care such as orphanages and child protection homes/centres
  • Preventive and responsive child protection services (eg. family tracing, referal services)
  • Training and capacity building of relevant public service professionals
  • Public awareness raisng in child protection

What are we tracking in child protection?

a). Visibility of child protection in national and sector strategies and plans: This is to establish if child protection is one of the priorities of government or not. The extent to which different components of child protection, in Puntland and Somaliland context, are clearly and comprehensively reflected in relevant government plans and strategic documents: Eg.

  • Is there budget allocated to protect children from FGM, child marriage, child abuse, child trafficking, children involved in armed conflict and exploitation of children.
  • Are there interventions in such as family tracing, psychosocial support services, child protection centres etc.

b). Visibility of child protection in medium term financial plans and funding proposals: Are child protection issues prioritised by government and donors by way of being reflected in strategic plans and programmes of action?

The consultant/s will travel to Hargeisa (Somaliland) and Garowe (Puntland) to collect the required information from the relevant government ministries at national levels only.

The consultant/s will produce two concise reports both for Soamliland and Puntland each excessing 50 pages (excluding annexes) in four hard copies as well as in electronic copies of the study.

Methodology

The consultant/s should come up with a detailed methodology of gathering information or data to inform the measurement and tracking consultancy assignment. However, in education and health sectors the study should mainly focus on review of budgetary and financial plans and expenditure records/documents in the Ministry of Education, Health, Finance and Planning. Qualitative method of data collection (KII) should also be employed to gather information on budgetary allocation and expenditure from key government officials at National levels.

Tracking the child protection budget should mainly focus (refer to the section: scope of measuring and tracking the child protection budget) on mapping out responsible ministries or departments in child protection, assessing visibility of child protection in national and sector plans as well as in medium term financial plans and funding proposals.

Duration of role

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR MICRONUTRIENT SURVEY IN SOMALIA

Posted in

UNICEF

Job Type

Full Time

Location

Somalia

Description :

Organization: UN Children’s Fund
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 03 Mar 2017

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR 2017 MICRONUTRIENT SURVEY IN SOMALIA

BACKGROUND

In 2009, UNICEF Somalia, in collaboration with the Food Security and Nutrition Assessment Unit (FSNAU) of FAO and the ministries of health, carried out the National Micronutrient Survey, to assess anemia, Vitamin A deficiency and urinary iodine among women and children. The survey also collected information on infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, malaria prevalence, as well as anthropometric data in children under-5. The results pointed to high levels of micronutrient deficiencies among pregnant and lactating women and children under-5. Iron deficiency in women of child bearing age stood at 41.5 per cent, 59.3 per cent in children under-5 and 73.7 per cent in children under-2. Vitamin A deficiency rates among women, at 33.3 per cent, were well above the 20 per cent WHO cut-off. With household utilization of iodized salt at 3.9 per cent and excess median urinary iodine levels above the WHO cut off (300μg/L were reported.

Since the 2009 survey, UNICEF Somalia has implemented and scaled up a number of programs to combat micronutrient deficiency, notably the semi-annual Vitamin A supplementation for children aged 6-59 months through routine and mass supplementation, as well as micronutrient supplementation for prevention and treatment of anaemia in pregnant and lactating women through provision of iron, folate and multiple micronutrient tablets. Significant efforts have also been made to improve children’s access to management of diarrhoea through zinc and oral rehydration salts and the delivery of micronutrient powders for home fortification have been integrated in IYCF to improve the status of anaemia in children under-5. To date, despite the excess levels of urinary iodine reported in the 2009 micronutrient survey, as a result of lack of conclusive evidence on the main source of iodine excess, no iodine programming has been implemented. Further investigation is required to inform any policy or future actions for Somalia.

OBJECTIVES

The main objective of the 2017 micronutrient survey is thus to provide updated estimates of the micronutrient status of particularly vulnerable population groups namely, children aged 6-59 months, non-pregnant women aged 15-49 years, and pregnant women. By 2017, the survey will specifically:

(i) Determine the prevalence of iron deficiency and anaemia in children aged 6-59 months, pregnant and non-pregnant women aged 15-49 years using biological indicators;

(ii) Determine the prevalence of Vitamin A deficiency among children aged 6-59 months, pregnant and non-pregnant women aged 15-49 years using biological indicators;

(iii) Determine the iodine nutritional status among school aged children both pregnant and non-pregnant women using biological indicators;

(iv) Estimate the coverage of households using adequately iodized salt and estimate the iodine content in water samples;

(v) Assess key IYCF practices among caregivers of children aged 0-24 months;

(vi) Assess the nutritional status of children aged 6-59 months using anthropometry.

RATIONALE

Since the 2009 micronutrient survey, no other survey has been conducted to assess the micronutrient status of the population in Somalia. As a result, there is no up-to-date data on the prevalence of deficiencies of iodine, iron and Vitamin A. The 2017 National Micronutrient Survey aims to fill this information gap by providing comprehensive and updated estimates of micronutrient deficiencies in Somalia at national and sub-national levels. The survey results will help inform priorities and investments for the next UNICEF Somalia country program (2018-2022) including partner programing, as well as address any gaps in knowledge. The process will help inform policy decisions and will contribute evidence for program review and implementation of a National Nutrition Strategy and Action Plan. In addition, survey findings will guide the planning, monitoring and evaluation of micronutrient interventions, as well as support the tailoring of micronutrient interventions to fit current gaps.

Furthermore, at the time of the 2009 survey that reported excess iodine in Somalia, the sources and consequences of the excess iodine were not well understood. Since then, some research conducted by FSNAU has confirmed the presence of high iodine in the water table. The proposed survey will thus complement findings from the secondary analysis of iodine data supported by the UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office in conjunction with Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Within Somalia, this information is essential for UNICEF to make appropriate recommendations to the Government and other stakeholders regarding micronutrient programming and policy directions especially for iodine

DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT

The survey will be a national, cross-sectional, population-based survey as well as disaggregation in terms of urban and rural areas, gender analysis (boys and girls) and areas with high concentrations of internally displaced persons (IDPs). With a sample size to be determined to ensure satisfactory precision to make programmatic decisions specific to Somalia and to sub-national estimates. The sampling frame will be based on enumeration areas from the national population estimates, however, each geographical area (Somaliland, Puntland, and the states (4 states and federal government) of central southern regions of Somalia) will be treated as a separate stratum, allowing for separate estimates for each stratum and after appropriate statistical weighting, combinations of strata and for Somalia as a whole. Two-stage sampling will be conducted and the sample size required for each stratum will be based on the estimated prevalence; the desired precision; the expected intra-class correlation coefficients based on previous surveys, where data is available; and the resulting design effect for each indicator, taking into account an expected maximum non-response of 6 per cent (including refusals) at the household level and an 80 per cent individual response.

The target populations will be pre-school-aged children aged 6-59 months, school aged children six years or older for iodine analysis, non-pregnant women of reproductive age (15-49 years) and pregnant women. Vitamin A status will be assessed in women of reproductive age, using serum retinol, and in children aged 6-59 months, using retinol binding protein. Iodine status will be measured in pregnant and non-pregnant women. Investigating malaria prevalence among key populations will provide better understanding of the etiology of anaemia, including iron deficiency and other micronutrients, and inform appropriate interventions to address it.

For pre-school-aged children, key nutrition indicators to be collected include prevalence and severity of anaemia and iron and vitamin A deficiency. For non-pregnant women, indicators include prevalence and severity of anaemia and iron, vitamin A and iodine deficiencies. Markers of inflammation will also be assessed to aid in the interpretation of findings. For pregnant women, information on gestational age will be collected together with key indicators including prevalence and severity of anaemia and iodine deficiency. Additional variables, such as socio-economic status, household and individual food consumption patterns, infant feeding practices and intake of micronutrient supplements, will also be assessed, as they may influence various types of micronutrient deficiencies or play a causative role.

Interested research agencies are expected to submit a technical proposal with detailed methodology including recommended laboratory methods and procedures for all biomarkers. The technical proposal should contain the minimum list under the specific task below:-

  1. Review and develop background and literature review on the nutrition status of children and women in Somalia considering contextual factors and interventions
  2. Develop and finalize a survey protocol and methodology with design, sampling procedures, selecting households and subjects, estimating the sample size
  3. Support the listing and updating of survey households to be sampled based on the latest population estimates
  4. Develop a study framework and detailed implementation plan for the period of consultancy
  5. Develop, pre-test, translate and finalize survey questionnaires, standardize other survey tools ass applicable
  6. Develop list of biomarkers, indicators and how they will be assessed and details of specimen handling
  7. Develop logistics plan including cold chain requirements, transportation and shipment of samples to reference laboratories and quality control measures
  8. Presentation of an inception report to the “Assessment and Information Management Working Group (AIMWG)”

FUNCTIONAL TITLE: Consultant: Land Expert

SUPERVISOR Unit Leader, Land and GLTN Unit , ULLG Branch

CONTRACT TYPE & DURATION 4 months with possibility of extension

EQUIVALENT LEVEL P3

VACANCY CLOSING DATE 21 February 2017

BACKGROUND
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, is the United Nations agency for human settlements. It is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. The Land and GLTN Unit, located within the Urban Legislation, Land and Governance Branch of UN-Habitat has the mandate to develop, test and disseminate pro-poor and gender responsive approaches in regard to urban land, innovative residential tenures, affordable land management/administration systems, and land related regulatory/legal frameworks and tools. The Unit hence focuses on research and tool development also to supply technical advice to Member States and backstop the Regional offices and other sections of UN-Habitat. Land tools provide a resource for enabling action. While there has been extensive global discussion around land policies that work for the poor, there has been insufficient attention paid to the development of methods for developing and implementing these pro-poor land policies. Consequently what are required are land tools that are affordable and accessible for all sections of the population in countries around the world. This is essential for creating societies with sustainable, equal access and use of land. Work has already started on these approaches, both for developing and post-conflict societies. Incremental expansion of this work over time, as capacity is developed, will take place through the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN, the Network), the Secretariat of which is located at UN-Habitat.

Land disputes and land tenure/ownership problems occupy a central position in the protracted conflict in present-day Somalia. Endowed with vast rangelands and hence the dominance of pastoralism, Somalia also has pockets of cultivated agricultural land and growing urban areas, a case in point being the Lower Juba region, which is endowed with fertile soils, rich grazing grounds, and abundant marine resources. Yet, conflict has kept Jubbaland chronically unstable for over two decades. Driving the conflict in Somalia has been clan-dynamics and warlordism, both of which have only served to reinforce one another (Deherez 2009 ). Jubbaland, the proposed case study for this proposal, is seen as another emerging federal state in Somalia, a key factor with implications on how the conflict-situation manifests itself in the region. As a country, Somalia has a long history of population movement, both voluntary and involuntary. The dominance of pastoralism entrenches migration as a key feature of the country’s subsistence economy. Environmental pressures, especially droughts and other climate-change induced challenges, has fueled population movements. Yet, involuntary movements caused by war, forced the intense migration of people, giving rise to monumental refugee and IDP-related problems. This resulted in multiple and widespread problems in the area of housing, land and property rights issues. In brief, the land conflict situation in Somalia is complex and context-specific, with many dimensions to it. Such a complexity dictates that any intervention in Jubbaland and Kismayo be guided by an informed analysis of the local situation, and hence this proposed study on the land conflicts situation in Somalia ‘s Kismayo and Jubbaland region.

This proposed study is a joint initiative between UN-Habitat (Land and GLTN Unit) and the DPA/UNSOM.
The Land and GLTN Unit, located within the Urban Legislation, Land and Governance (ULLG) Branch of UN-Habitat, is mandated to develop, test and disseminate pro-poor and gender responsive land tools and approaches within the continuum of land rights framework. Established in 2006, the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), is a growing coalition of more than 70 international partners concerned with rural and urban land issues, working together to contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development through promoting secure land and property rights for all, demonstrated through country-level interventions.

The objective of the study is to investigate the land conflict situation in Somalia’s Kismayo and Juba lands for purposes of guiding the work of the UN system in Somalia in peace building and land-conflicts management. Further to this, the findings will contribute to policy making in Somalia’s land governance sector. The specific objectives of the study are to:

  1. Assess land governance systems, land tenure rights and their implications for development.
  2. Document and map land claims of pastoral communities in Jubbaland, and
  3. Investigate land ownership and land use patterns in Kismayo

Consultancy : Community-Driven Recovery and Safety in Somalia

Posted in

DRC

Job Type

Full Time

Location

Somalia

Description :

Organization: Danish Refugee Council
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 21 Feb 2017

1. CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT

The CDRS project is based on the shared experience of DRC/DDG implementing community-driven recovery, development, safety and conflict management programming in more than 200 communities in Somalia since 2008. In this way, the project benefitted from more than six years’ experience testing and refining the Community Driven approach in Somalia in the evolving context. In particular, the project was informed by experiences and learnings derived from DRC and DDG’s interventions in the following areas: Community empowerment, improved service delivery and bottom-up governance are supported by civic education and community-driven development processes.

The overall aim of CDRS was: To contribute to the stabilisation of fragile parts of South Central Somalia by strengthening social justice through improved community level governance mechanisms and enhancing access to employment opportunities, social services and security for conflict affected populations.

In order to achieve this intended impact, three project outcomes are identified as contributing factors:

i. Community empowerment: Communities in South Central Somalia take control over and freely exercise their right to decide on the design, implementation and evaluation of their own development and safety plans

ii. Bottom-up governance: Local governance structures in three districts in South Central Somalia are reinforced to be more responsive and accountable to community needs

iii. Conflict prevention and management: Traditional systems with additional community involvement are able to identify and address underlying causes of conflict and to manage potential conflicts in a peaceful manner.

iv. Social, economic and security services: Improved access to social and economic infrastructures and services, employment opportunities, security provision for the population of communities in Somalia

v. Safety: Improved community safety in relation to risk management with firearms & Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and improved conflict management skills for individuals

CDRS Theory of Change

CDRS project is built on the premise that it is critical to support the informal and formal systems of governance and strengthen citizen engagement to enhance community safety, strengthen the provision of services, and livelihood opportunities in order to stabilise fragile areas of Somalia and improve the quality of life for Somalis.

The Theory of Change for the CDRS project postulates that;

a) If the members of each community are empowered to decide on the design, implementation and evaluation of their own recovery and safety projects.

b) If members of each community benefit from a safe environment.

c) If members of each community have equitable access to social and economic infrastructure and services, as well as access to justice and security.

d) If members of each community and their representatives are better able to manage conflict and tensions peacefully.

e) If members of each community have access to jobs and employment opportunities.

f) If members of each community are aware of methods of self-protection in response to explosive remnants of war (ERW)/ small arms and light weapons (SALW) in the communities.

g) If local governance structures are strengthened to become more responsive to recovery and safety needs of all members of all communities, then each community will experience stability. More stable communities and districts in Somalia will contribute to reduce instability in the country.

The ‘Rapid Response (Pre-CDRS) initiative’ and the main CDRS project principally share the same Theory of Change.

DRC/DDG’s strategy for CDRS is guided by the assumption that it is critical to support the informal and formal systems of governance and strengthen citizen engagement to enhance community safety, strengthen the provision of services, and livelihood opportunities in order to stabilise fragile areas of Somalia and improve the quality of life for Somalis. This is in keeping with a context where the relationship between communities and the government has been jeopardised by several factors, and where the government has often been unable to provide services to its citizens. In such cases it is important that the delivery of such services entail community participation and strengthened interaction with local government institutions, both formal and informal. The chart below summarises the theory of change.

CDRS Approach

The CDRS approach encompasses the following key elements:

Community Safety and Recovery Plans

Through the community planning process, communities (i) articulate their self-perception and future vision, (ii) prioritise their needs and develop an action plan (called Community Safety and Recovery Plans – CSRPs) to work towards their vision, (iii) organise into a decision-making body (or refine an existing one, to ensure it represents all segments of the community), (iv) analyse their own resources and mobilise external resources, (v) manage resources to carry out their projects and ensure quality and accountability.

The implementation of the CSRPs takes place through four different processes:

i. Community Block Grants and Social Services Access Grants;

ii. Community safety related activities (delivered by DDG under its CS programme);

iii. Conflict prevention and management activities;

iv. Livelihood interventions

Rapid Response – Piloting a pre-CDRS model

The idea behind the pilot was to see if a fast track peace dividend intervention model can be anchored in communities recently out of conflict and with a changed government structure. The idea of the model was to prepare communities for longer-term CDRS type interventions. The project targeted one district with pre-CDRS.

Peace dividend grants were viewed as an instrument to facilitate collective action between social groups and conflict divisions, as well as to initiate transparent joint decision-making between community representatives and de facto authorities. The assumption is that if community representatives are quickly brought into interaction with each other on clearly defined terms with conflict management safeguards, and newly inserted governance structures are actively engaged while additional livelihood coping strategies are offered to meet immediate household needs and enable residents to engage in communal processes, stability can be enhanced and opportunities for longer-term programming created.

Whereas the TOC are the same, the indicators for outcomes and outputs of this part of the project intervention are slightly modified (please refer to Annex B LFA and Annex C Matrix TOC), as well as the elements of the rapid response mechanism pay more emphasis to social service/infrastructure and livelihood deliverables and less to the processes around empowerment and inclusive governance.

The ‘Rapid Response Initiative’ is, akin to CDRS, focused on the demand side of the state-civic interaction and works directly with community members.

The ‘Rapid Response Initiative’ was envisaged to take around 6 – 9 months to implement and targeted district centres rather than the village level.

The main elements of the pre-CDRS are as follows:’

  • · Conduct operational and risk assessment of target districts:
  • · Conduct context and stakeholder analysis:
  • · Carry out civic education campaigns:
  • · Consultation, planning and implementation of a ‘peace dividend’ project:
  • · Conflict analysis, management and resolution activities

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE EVALUATION

This impact assessment has three main objectives:

O1: To measure the extent to which the CDRS project achieved the intended Objective and Outcomes as illustrated by the respective indicators

O2: To examine extent to which DRC and DDG cooperation was operationalized through the project and how this impacted on project implementation and achievement of the desired outcomes

O3: To unpack the concepts and assumptions underlying community engagement both for the pre-CDRS and full CDRS methodology0 To assess the compliance of the clauses in the agreement, results framework, approval of changes by Sida through communication and Correspondences.

Based upon these findings O1, O2, O3, and 04the evaluation should:

R1: Provide recommendations on future programming based on lessons learned, promising and best practices

R2: To provide conjectures about causal mechanisms that may lead to social change and to develop an alternative theory of change

R3: Provide recommendations for future impact evaluations

R4: Inform whether the grant agreement has been complied with in accordance with agreed conditions

3. METHODOLOGY

The impact evaluation should use both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to examine the results of the CDRS activities.

The quantitative method should focus on measuring change in pre-established indicators in order to understand what certain outcomes and impact the activities had on certain key areas. For the quantitative methodology a post-test only treatment and comparison design is required with additional qualitative process tracing (done internally by DRC/DDG) to observe changes in the treatment community, but also to attempt to identify attribution.

In addition, the qualitative method, developed by the consultant/consultancy firm, should seek to understand in more detail what elements come together to make project activities successful and what elements may have hindered success. .

The Consultant/Consultancy firm is expected to provide a detailed description of the methodology that meets the requirements outlined above.

In addition, the Evaluation methodology proposed should include the following mechanisms which are intended to enhance learning and accountability from the Evaluations process:

1) A reflection forum: The purpose of the reflection forum will be to facilitate a structured and systematic engagement of the project beneficiaries/stakeholders in order to directly enlist their perspectives on inputs on the key learning’s based on their experiences with the project that has been implemented. This forum will serve the purpose of validating issues/experiences that may have been gathered in the process of collecting evaluation data and information. By so doing, the evaluator/evaluation firm will be in a better position to identify and prioritize the key learning’s that would be documented in the evaluation report and lessons learned note.

2) Formal beneficiary feedback forums: present an important opportunity to reflect on issues, challenges, problems or concerns that have been communicated by the beneficiaries through existing formal and informal reporting and feedback mechanisms. This mechanism is expected to facilitate a two-way interaction with beneficiaries that will entail a) a more systematic review of feedback received to identify and spot light on key lessons and b) further engagement or probing of the beneficiaries to identify additional experiences/information that could potentially inform lessons learned

4. KEY EVALUATION QUESTIONS

  1. What outputs did the CDRS project deliver and to what level of quality?
  2. What did the CDRS project achieve at outcome and impact level?
  3. Are the positive outcomes and impact likely to be sustained / continued? What data can support the results and how reliable is it?
  4. Did the programme achieve its Theory of Change and how valid was the underlying assumptions made in terms of DRC and DDG collaboration? Why/why not was the Theory of Change achieved/not achieved?
  5. was the grant agreement and the attached terms and conditions fully complied in accordance with agreed procedures?

5. EVALUATION CRITERIA

Overall, the evaluation seeks to identify the impacts of CDRS project through quantitative and qualitative data collection. The qualitative methodology examines this question in a more open-ended manner and also looks more closely at what characteristics are most likely to support successful project objectives, including sustainable sub-projects and communities that are better enabled to drive their own development.

While the quantitative methods answer the question of how successful project activities have been at improving certain outcome and impact indicators, the qualitative research answers a broader question of what makes a project successful or unsuccessful.

Specifically, the research question for the qualitative method can be defined as follows:

What are the most significant outcomes and impacts of the CDRS programme and what characteristics most likely contribute to these results?

A number of guiding questions should be used in the qualitative methodology in order to obtain a full answer to the main qualitative research question. These are based upon the following OECD DAC Criteria:

i. Relevance/Appropriateness

  • How relevant were the project activities and prioritised needs from the CSRPs (as perceived by community members and district authorities)?
  • How did the pre-CDRS affect the wider process?
  • To what extent was the Theory of Change valid in reaching the overall objective?

ii. Effectiveness

  • Did the CDRS project reach its outputs and how was the quality of DRC/DDG activities and what issues can be improved?
  • To what extent were the four key processes for implementation of the CSRP successful in achieving the planned outcomes?
  • What added advantages, if any, are there with DRC and DDG collaboration/joint programming? What are some of the challenges?

iii. Efficiency

  • How successful was the CPIUs and the planning process in mobilizing community ownership and participation in identifying and prioritising needs?
  • How successful was the CPIUs and the planning process in planning, informing the communities and mobilising for resources?
  • How efficient were the Peacebuilding Networks in resolving conflicts? What could improve for future programming?

iv. Impact

  • Did the CDRS project reach its intended impact (overall objective) indicators?
  • What factors may increase and/or decrease the project’s intended impact to improve relations between the community and different tiers of government?
  • What unintended benefits have resulted from the CDRS activities?
  • What unintended consequences have resulted from the CDRS activities?

v. Sustainability

  • To what extent has the target communities shown improved ability to manage its own development priorities and initiatives? Why / why not?
  • What factors may lessen the community’s ability to take charge of their own development?
  • What factors are most likely to contribute towards the long term success and sustainability of sub-projects?
  • What factors may lead to improved relations between communities, Village Councils (VCs) and District Councils (DCs)?

vi. Cross-Cutting Themes: Participation and Gender/Social Inclusion

  • Was the CDRS project considered inclusive by communities and local government?
  • What role did women, youth and minorities among others play in the CDRS project? And how did they participate and/or influence decision making?
  • By examining these guiding questions, the qualitative methodology should be able to identify more clearly the key drivers for the success of the project, both from a technical perspective (linked to the objectives) as well as beneficiary perspective. Furthermore, it can also assist in identifying other research questions to be examined in the design of future impact evaluations.

vii. Compliance of agreement

  • Have all changes and decisions made by DRC/DDG been supported by necessary approval from Sida

6. SCOPE OF THE EVALUATION

The Impact evaluation proposed here seeks to understand the impact of CDRS activities in the three districts of Baidoa, Luuq and Warsheikh, i.e. a total of 60 communities. All project activities in these districts will have been completed, some for a considerable period of time. The time passed since completion of activities could have the adverse effect of presenting little impact if changes that occurred were short-lived or in cases where benefits might only have very temporary affects. However, if some project activities have led to the type of long-term changes in practices and well-being that are typically the aim of community driven interventions, then any demonstration of impact should suggest sustainable results.

The contract period should be for a maximum of 90 days after signing of the contract, which means that the full evaluation report should be finalized and shared with DRC/DDG by the latest 30 May 2017. The contract duration should be split into two periods:

First period: To develop an appropriate methodology for a post-test only treatment and comparison design is required, which includes a workplan for data collection (approximately 15 days) which should be followed by a review meeting with participation of DRC/DDG, Sida and the external consultant.

Second period: Data collection, analysis, write-up and dissemination (approximately 45 days)The consultant is required to develop a feasible work plan/activity schedule covering the suggested number of workdays and submits as integral part of the proposal for this consultancy.

The consultant can request an extension of the duration, if the assignment is delayed due to any of the following circumstances:

  • Changes in the assignment at the request of DRC/DDG.
  • DRC/DDG does not take the required decisions or present material or other contributions within the agreed upon time frame.

Bids that do not meet the necessary requirements of the timeline, finances and methodology will not be considered.

7. EVALUATION DELIVERABLES

· Inception Report / Response to ToR

· Draft Report

· Final Report

· DRC Lessons Learned Note

· Dissemination meeting with key stakeholders including a PowerPoint presentation

8. INTENDED USE OF THE EVALUATION FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Somalia country team in collaboration with the regional management team will review and use the findings of the impact assessment to make relevant adjustments to future programmes.

Description :

Background

The Joint Programme on Local Governance (JPLG) was launched in 2008, the programme is currently in its 2nd Phase (2013 -2017). The Joint Programme, which has five partners including ILO, UNCDF, UNDP, UN-HABITAT and UNICEF, is aligned to and contributes to the Somali development frameworks (Somali Compact, National Development Plans). The overall objective of JPLG is to promote improvements in local governance quality that can contribute to peace consolidation, development and equitable service delivery. This is to be achieved through 3 outcomes:-

· Outcome 1: Policy and legal frameworks are improved to enable local governments to deliver equitable services.

· Outcome 2: Local government capacity for equitable service delivery is improved.

· Outcome 3: Local governments are accountable and responsive to community priorities in providing equitable and sustainable services and promoting local economic development.

The Local Economic Development (LED) component of the Joint Programme on local Governance (JPLG) is designed to build the capacities of the local governments on economic development and engage the private sector in local governance and service delivery and contributes to outcome 3 of the programme. This is to be achieved by supporting the development of strategies, frameworks, structures and interventions which promote collaboration and engagement of the private sector in local governance and service delivery as well as economic growth in support of decentralization.

Justification

The ILO through JPLG has supported 12 districts across Somaliland, Puntland as well as Baidoa, Beletweyne, Jowhar in new Federal Member States of Somalia in the establishment and strengthening of economic local governance structures and capacities to reflect the priorities of communities; encourage and guide local economic development and forge partnerships between the private, public and community sectors. Interventions designed and implemented are informed by local economy assessments, incorporating labour market survey, business enabling environment survey data, and outcomes from participatory LED strategic planning. These address barriers in exploiting local economic potential; create an enabling environment for inclusive private sector-led growth and decent jobs in each district. The results of these interventions include i)Business regulatory environment through improvements to simplify and streamline the business licensing procedures in 6 districts in Somaliland, 6 in Puntland and currently on-going in Mogadishu, Benadir Region. This has resulted in an increase (ranging from 20-40%) in number of businesses on the register and expanding the revenue base. ii) A complementary micro and small enterprise development support package of interventions targeting over 800 beneficiaries in 2014/15 involved the development of business development service providers and certified entrepreneurship trainers (using the ILO Enterprise Training Modules, Start and Improve Your Business), targeting young graduates, new and existing micro-and small enterprises for enterprise training and start-up loans through micro-finance schemes in partnership with the private sector. Support to cooperatives, skills training and the introduction of local resource-based, employment intensive technologies in construction and environment conservation including bio-gas technology has been also been provided iii) Through the Local Economic Development funding window (under the JPLG Local Development Fund) which has supported the local administrations undertake projects to improve existing and build new economic infrastructure including markets and roads. In view of the strong local commitments and visible results on the ground, the LED approach is becoming popular in the localities. There are many good practices and lessons learned emerging from this approach that could be documented and scaled up.

In 2015, the JPLG conducted a mid-term review of the programme, one of the recommendations from the review was an assessment of the LED approach implemented by the JPLG to assess its impact and inform the design of the 3rd phase of the programme. The assessment will inform the key actors on the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the LED approach that is being implemented. The need to harmonize the LED processes with the local government planning process has been identified to avoid promotion of parallel planning processes and funding streams. This assessment will guide the integration of local economic development in the governments core Participatory Planning and Expenditure Management framework (PEM).

Objective

The overall objective of the assessment is to assist the JPLG, donors, governments, regional administrations private sector and other potential partners understand the efficiency, effectiveness, relevance (governance, server delivery), sustainability and impact of the LED approach and practices adopted by the JPLG.

f) Assess the institutional relationship, arrangement and management of the intervention in terms of ensuring accountability, equity and sustainability;

g) Assess the overall LED approach, in light of improving gender equality and enhancing women empowerment;

h) Assess the linkage and contribution of the LED approach to the outcome of the JPLG programme

i) Analyze and illustrate the comparative advantages, value added, best practices and lessons learned to promote the LED approach/ intervention;

A series of meetings with the key actors in national, regional and local levels, private sector and communities as well as field visits to the districts. There will be several interviews and consultations to be conducted with the focused groups and beneficiaries.

Request for Proposals: End of Project Evaluation:-Safe Drinking Water Project

Posted in

WVS

Job Type

Full Time

Location

Hargeisa

Description :

This is an End of Project Evaluation to assess the progress made by the project towards achieving its goal of improving access to safe drinking water for vulnerable communities in Somaliland.

The assessment of the project impact will focus on the contribution made by the project from inception, assess the impact, appropriateness, relevance, effectiveness and sustainability which should help to draw and document key lessons learned and the best practices to the project stakeholders.

The evaluation will adopt both qualitative and quantitative study techniques. Background

Access to safe drinking water and good hygiene practices are basic to human survival, healthy living and dignity. Lack of these fundamentals is one of the main underlying causes of water related diseases, malnutrition and child mortality. UNOCHA statistics for Somalia (2012) further show that less than 20% of households have access to protected water source1. UNOCHA statistics (2015) show that 2.8 million people are in need of safe water2. Water supply coverage is low for both drinking and domestic use, particularly in rural areas. Most Somalis fetch water from open wells usually located close to pit latrines and therefore prone to contamination. A rapid assessment conducted by WVS in November 2015 showed that most rural households collected water from piped networks, boreholes and shallow wells. There are also companies who collect water from wells and dams and sell to households (water trucking and kiosks). Furthermore, despite many years of humanitarian support in water supply, maintenance of water facilities is largely neglected, as WASH actors leave the management or maintenance of these facilities to local water committees, who in some instances neglect them or are unable to maintain them when broken down. In areas where there are boreholes, the boreholes are overburdened throughout the year. In case of breakdown due to the lack of maintenance, alternative sources are mainly rivers, streams and dams which increase the risk of contamination. Consequently, poor maintenance and operation of water facilities has reduced access to safe drinking water, contamination of water sources and also increased the prevalence of water-related diseases.

A survey conducted by UNICEF3 in November 2015, revealed high levels of diarrhoeal disease; 16% (watery diarrhoea) whilst 5% (bloody diarrhoea) among adults. The high prevalence of diarrhoea is a sign of consumption of contaminated water or food. Diarrhoeal prevalence is high for children with 18% having suffered from watery diarrhoea whilst 6% have suffered from bloody diarrhoea. Whilst 46% of the people in Somalia indicated that they prepare oral rehydration salts (ORS) as a way of managing diarrhoeal diseases, it was found that most of the caretakers/mothers were not able to properly prepare ORS solutions at home. This indicates that child treatment options could be ineffective in preventing child morbidity and mortality related to unsafe water use in Somalia. The UNICEF survey indicated that children are more likely to be affected as a result of cross contamination from adults due to poor hygienic practises and the consumption of contaminated water, thus the need to target caregivers of children with the proposed intervention. Accordingly, the Proctor & Gamble (P&G) project was designed to address the above challenges in the project areas of implementation.

The current programming uses an integrated model incorporating child protection, livelihoods and resilience, health and water supply, and has strong components on cholera awareness and hygiene promotion. Capacity building at primary health care level is carried out by trained village health worker and water management communities. To complement the current project and sustain the positive behavior change, WVS received the Procter and Gamble (P&G) funding to cover an estimated 64,488 beneficiaries, especially women, men and children living in rural areas of Somaliland. The project is aimed to improving access, knowledge and use of P&G water purification tablets in the target communities. The project outcomes are expected to be realized in coordination with the Ministries of Heath, Water Resource Management at regional and, district levels. This project focuses on ensuring quality of water at point of use (PoU). The project activities also complement other water supply projects which include construction of earth dams and solar water pumps. The project also focuses on building the capacity of target communities on the use of water purification tablets to treat drinking water. Currently, the use of water treatment tablets in Somaliland is approximately 9% (UNICEF, 2015). The primary source of obtaining water treatment tablets is mostly NGOs who usually move away at the end of each project, leaving the communities to resort to contaminated water sources. WVS is running long term development projects to which beneficiaries will be targeted with the water purification packets. This project has been mainstreamed in existing projects as WVS supply and stimulate communities to realize the value of treating water. WVS also seeks to establish a long term partnership with P&G in order to ensure a recurrent supply of the water treatment packets for many years to come. In some areas, P&G water purification packets are being used as a “bridge intervention;” while WVS endeavors to work with the government in the provision of water treatment systems. The intervention will complement other WASH projects which are focusing on the construction of sand dams, installation of water pumps, and promotion of improved hygiene practices (proper hand washing, water storage as well as prevention and treatment of WASH related diseases.

Since the launch of the P&G Project in April 2016, implementation has been going on by the project staff and partners in Odwene, Baki, Lughaya, Gabiley, Darbudhuq (Lasgeel) districts in Somaliland. The project is expected to end by March 31 2017. As the implementation of the project comes to an end, there is need to conduct an evaluation to assess the impact of the project on beneficiaries; as well as delineate emerging issues that should be addressed in future programming for similar interventions. The Project Goal: Improving access to safe drinking water for vulnerable communities in Somaliland.
