CONSULTANCY TO UNDERTAKE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS TRAINING IN ILAINGARUNYONI CONSERVANCY

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 13:01:49 +0000

The objective of the assignment The activity seeks to help the landowners understand what a conservancy is, its importance benefits, social and environmental implications, and rights that come with such an undertaking. They will be taken through the rights they stand to enjoy from such an undertaking, mechanisms for reporting and addressing grievances and rights violations when they arise, and how they can protect themselves against such incidences. From the ten community meetings/trainings, the OCW board and Illangarunyoni conservancy leadership trainings developed a social and environmental safeguard policy to guide future management of the conservancy. Specific objectives include: Conduct 12 community sensitization/training meetings on conservancy as a land use model, and environmental and social rights leading to Free Prior and Informed Consent. Train OCWR board and Illanguronyi Conservancy leadership on safeguarding and human rights in conservation. Develop an environmental and social safeguard policy for the Illangarunyoni Conservancy. Scope of work The study will be done in Ilaingarunyoni in Kajiado County. Ilangarunyoni is part of the Olgulului-Ololarashi group ranch (OOGR); it was established in 2010 and occupies an area of 29,158.43 acres, covering the western part of OOGR. The conservancy adjoins the Namanga-Meshanani gate access road to the south and the Ilaingarunyoni Hills to the west. The Conservancy is an important dispersal area for seasonal wildlife movements between Amboseli Park, Ilaingarunyoni Hills, and the Eselenkei/ Mbirikani areas. This conservancy is at the initial establishment stage, the land has been subdivided and the community leadership has had initial community meetings socializing the conservancy concept that landowners have accepted to form one. As a standard procedure, the landowners should be taken through the conservancy land use model highlighting the benefits, land tenure, and overall governance and management. Conventionally, the process must reflect principles of Free Prior Informed Consent as they surrender their respective parcels of land to be amalgamated into the conservancy. Consequently, they will be taken through potential select rights that they be of value to them concerning the conservancy establishment and management including, land rights, environmental and social rights, and how they can report grievance and redress mechanisms. This is important as it will allow them to make an informed decision to join the conservancy without coaxition. The gender rights approach will be used to engage the community and help explain rights from a right-holding and role-bearing lens in line with their cultural way of life and agree on a common ground. This will help address gender and youth issues in governance and resource management in the conservancy. Issues of potential rights violations from a wildlife crime policing angle will also be discussed. Expected Deliverables. The consultant (s) will submit a biodiversity assessment report broadly covering the following aspects: Social safeguard policy for the Conservancy Safeguarding training report for OCWR board Community sensitization report. Completion Schedule & Final Deliverables: It is expected that the above study will be completed within 6-weeks from the date of issuance of the Work Order. The consultant will submit a final report in both hard & soft copy within 2 weeks of acceptance of report. Budget The proposed budget should be inclusive of all taxes applicable. Study Management The Consultant will work closely with the Ilaingarunyoni conservancy leadership, rangers and IFAW team. The Consultant will be provided with the logistical support necessary to deliver on the assignment. Resource Requirements: The assignment will require a governance/ social expert assisted by gender professionals, environmentalists, and land experts. etc. Specifically, persons with the following qualifications are invited to express interest. The lead consultant should have an advanced degree in sociology, gender studies, governance, and community development.

Request for Expression of Interest, Climate Finance, Bankable Project Proposal and Carbon Market Development Experts-April 2024

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 12:18:45 +0000

The AECF, a leading African-based development organization, is committed to supporting innovative small and growing businesses in the agribusiness and renewable energy sectors and cross cutting areas. With a primary focus on reducing climate vulnerability, exposure to physical and transitional climate risks, and rural poverty, the AECF strives to promote climate-resilient communities and investments while fostering sustainable, climate-smart, and green economies. Having raised over US$400 million to date, the AECF provides catalytic funding to enterprises across 26 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly targeting businesses that struggle to meet traditional risk-return standards for commercial investors and banks. Aligned with its objectives and climate finance strategy, the AECF champions SMEs through diverse initiatives, spanning the distribution of solar home systems, off-grid solar systems, electric vehicles, biogas off-grid systems, clean cook stoves, agribusiness technologies and services, climate change adaptation finance and mitigation measures, as well as innovative financing instruments and grants. To deepen its impact and tackle gender disparities comprehensively, the AECF seamlessly integrates gender lens investing into its strategies and operations, extending into areas such as the blue economy, biodiversity, natural capital, and nature-based solutions (NBS). In light of the above interventions and increasing demand, AECF is broadening its collaboration with implementing entities (IEs), executing entities (EEs), and National Designated Agencies (NDAs) to access climate finance from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Adaptation Fund, and Global Environment Facility (GEF). Actively seeking partnerships with these entities and other multilaterals and development partners enables AECF to leverage resources and expertise effectively in addressing climate change challenges, while reinforcing its commitment to align with the goals of the UNFCCC and its parties towards net zero and a resilient society. The Request for Expression of Interest (EOI) seeks to establish a pool of experts specializing in climate finance, bankable project proposal development, carbon market development, and sustainability reporting. These experts will provide technical assistance to AECF and its investees/grants/partners seeking climate finance, aiding in the creation of viable project proposals in both mitigation and adaptation including cross cutting areas, exploring opportunities in carbon markets, and supporting sustainability reporting efforts. Their expertise will be instrumental in driving forward the development of climate-resilient projects and initiatives while ensuring transparency and accountability in sustainability practices. Work Assignment Invitations are extended to climate finance experts, including individuals, firms, or research centers, to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) detailing their areas of expertise.

Consultancy: Blended Finance Structuring Study

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 11:34:35 +0000

Near East Foundation (NEF) Morocco Consultancy: Blended Finance Structuring Study Youth Climate Innovation Incubator Program Terms of Reference NEF in Morocco and the YCII program Since 1987, the Near East Foundation (NEF) has worked with communities across Morocco to help build more sustainable, prosperous, and inclusive communities through initiatives in youth empowerment, rural livelihoods, microenterprise development, agriculture, civic engagement, and natural resource management. NEF has gained strong technical expertise to address local challenges and developed a keen awareness of the critical issues facing Morocco today. In April 2022, NEF and its local partner, Emerging Business Factory (EBF), established the Youth Climate Innovation Incubator (YCII) in Marrakech. The initiative addressed two of Morocco’s most pressing issues – climate change and youth unemployment. The YCII pilot sought to identify and nurture home-grown, innovative, youth-led business solutions to climate change impacts, with an initial emphasis on water and climate-smart agriculture. It is among the first in Morocco to provide competitively selected young entrepreneurs focused on climate resilience with access to full-cycle support to test and launch innovative business solutions to climate change challenges. It offered business training and planning, technical expertise, one-on-one mentoring, networks, start-up funding, and acceleration support to test and launch business solutions. The pilot supported 32 start-ups in the Marrakech-Safi region, 10 of which were selected for acceleration support and small grant financing. See YCII Business and Partners annexed for more details. Since October 2023, NEF and EBF launched Growing YCII to improve and scale the YCII program. Specifically, Growing YCII will support 100 businesses in 4 regions (Marrakech-Safi, Draa Tafilalet, Beni Mellal and Souss Massa). To further support sustainability and scaling of the program-supported start-ups, NEF aims to develop a blended finance mechanism that will engage the climate innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem and serve as a catalyst among stakeholders. The mechanism should provide both financial and non-financial support to start-ups in their various stages of development, from the initial seed funding to larger-scale operational investments; as well as rural cooperatives that have successfully accessed markets. The mechanism should bring together government, philanthropic and private sector funding to support entrepreneurs at different stages of development, through grants, loans, and equity investment as appropriate. YCII Blended Finance Mechanism Structuring Study To lay a foundation for the investment facility, NEF is looking for an impact investment advisory consultant or firm to conduct an in-depth structuring study. Scope of Work: YCII programme assessment and presentation of viable financial instruments. Using the evidence gained from the current YCII programme, the consultant will assess a range of potential products and investment modes tailored to YCII start-ups at different stages of development. For example, the acceleration phase may involve a combination of grants and loans, while the scaling phase may introduce a blend of debt and equity from impact investors. The consultant should also look into factors such as risk tolerance, return expectations, and impact goals of potential financiers. Based on findings, the consultant will present viable financing mechanism options to NEF for their feedback and selection of most suitable approach. Estimated deadline: 24 May 2024 Development of in-depth structuring study. Upon agreement with NEF, the consultant will develop an in-depth structuring study of the selected financial instrument. The study should recommend sustainable mechanisms, embedded in the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, for fund management, governance, and accountability. The structuring study should include: Building a preliminary financial model Developing a detailed operating and governance model, outcomes measurements and payment framework Developing evidence-based framework for payment trigger metrics, including targeted outcomes, payment metrics, and verification methods. Building on the original proposals the structuring study should identify potential donors, investors, and optimal investment modes suitable to the objectives and modalities of the YCII. Estimated timeline: June to November 2024 for an anticipated launch of the blended finance facility by the end of 2024. Develop and implement an outreach and financing plan to stakeholders. In addition to the structuring study, the consultant will support NEF in launching a strategic fundraising campaign by managing key funder conversations in consultation with NEF tapping into various channels, including philanthropies, development agencies, impact investors, and commercial lenders. The consultant will also develop tailored funder pitch materials including pitch decks and related outreach materials. Consultancy Timeline Engagement duration: 12 months Programme assessment and initial presentation: May 2024 Structuring study development: June to November 2024 December 2024: Launch of the blended finance facility Engagement and financing support: December 2024 to April 2025 This call will close on May 12, 2024. Application reviews will commence on May 1, 2024. Applicants are encouraged to submit their proposal as soon as able to the Near East Foundation careers page Please apply by submitting with the following documents: CV A short cover letter outlining your relevant experience and areas of expertise.

Consultancy:Training and Developing a Policy Recommendation Document on the Role of Traditional Knowledge in Climate Resilience Building

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 16:48:53 +0000

TERMS OF REFERENCE (TORs): Consultancy Services for Training and Developing a Policy Recommendation Document on the Role of Traditional Knowledge in Climate Resilience Building General Information Intervention: Capacity strengthening and policy formulation the role of traditional knowledge in climate resilience building. Work Description: Consultancy for the development of a policy recommendation document advocating for community-led innovations in combating climate change to strengthen the capacity of climate resilience building using traditional knowledge and best practices to key stakeholders. Project Title: African Activists for Climate Justice Duration:11 days (excluding weekends) Introduction Natural Justice is a non-profit organization rooted in the struggles of communities in Africa. As a team of pioneering lawyers and legal experts, we specialize in human rights, environmental, climate, land, indigenous, and heritage law, in pursuit of social, climate, and environmental justice. We strive to enhance the collective rights of people and protect the sacred relationships that Indigenous people and local communities have with nature. Our work is informed by the values, knowledge, and self-determination of the communities which we stand in solidarity with. Through legal empowerment, research, policy influencing, and our Litigation Plus approach, we work in alliance with communities and like-minded coalitions to support communities to know the law, use the law, and shape the law. Natural Justice’s focus includes enhancing community access to land and governance of natural resources, contributing to the struggle against harmful extractive and infrastructure development supporting processes for recognizing traditional knowledge and access and benefit sharing, supporting community rights within conservation and customary use of biodiversity, and strengthening community actions towards the climate crisis. Together with the communities we work with, we aim to play a key role at the national, regional, and international levels by influencing policy and laws to recognize and enhance the rights of Indigenous people and impacted communities and environmental defenders. We are headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa with regional hubs in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dakar, Senegal. Natural Justice also has additional staff in Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, and Somalia. Context Indigenous peoples and local communities have been considered as mere victims of climate change impacts, rather than key agents of adaptation and resilience building. Their traditional and collectively held knowledge offers valuable insights and a crucial foundation for community-based adaptation and mitigation actions. However, indigenous communities and their traditional knowledge continue to be excluded from the global processes of decision and policymaking as well as key regulatory frameworks that define their future. As a result, climate adaptation programs are poorly designed and implemented, further weakening their customary rights to their lands and natural resources, and ultimately impairing their resilience. Critical assessment of the state of traditional knowledge in building adaptive capacity and identifying barriers and enablers to building it in Kenya remains underexplored in climate change literature. Consequently, research into place-based understandings of climate change, local impacts, vulnerabilities, as well as adaptive capacity is needed to enable effective adaptation and inform efforts to integrate traditional knowledge. Furthermore, the interplay between climate change and wider socioeconomic and cultural changes, such as development pressures needs to be fully considered. In the presence of such critical gaps, existing legislative frameworks may create contradictory or competing effects on the resolution of climate crises and related justice issues. Project Description NJ is currently implementing a project titled African Activists for Climate Justice (AACJ), intending to build strong inclusive, and effective movements promoting climate justice and ensure policies, practices, and frameworks that advance climate justice are adopted, funded, and implemented. Through the Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation department, NJ conducted a Thematic Analysis of Traditional Knowledge and Climate Resilience Building in Kenya, based on the examples in three counties,to document the practices of indigenous and local communities (IPLCs) in Kenya to combat climate change, and the traditional knowledge attached to these practices. The collection was conducted in May, October, and December of 2022, in communities located in 3 counties: Turkana (the Esanyanait Assembly, Ekalaale Assembly, Lorgum community, Lobei Community, and local CSO networks), Lamu (Aweer indigenous community, Amu Beach Management Unit, and Kililana farmers), and Elgeyo Marakwet (Sengwer indigenous community). The data collection was followed in October 2023 by a validation exercise, that allowed the same communities to review and discuss the draft report and conclusions. The following research questions were used as a framework: The dynamic role of traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, and perspectives in local adaptive capacity and climate resilience building. Emerging issues, challenges, barriers, and opportunities influencing the communities’ use of traditional and local knowledge for climate resilience. Key policy gaps in climate resilience building, looking at the promotion, preservation, and utilization of traditional knowledge/cultural expressions in the context of climate resilience building. Preservation and sustainability of traditional knowledge as future means to combat climate change. Lessons, opportunities, and gaps. Opportunities and conditions to establish synergies between state and non-state actors, in the combat against climate change. Towards this end, NJ seeks a climate justice expert to 1) intervene among a convening of stakeholders, facilitate dialogue, and strengthen the capacities of participants on the role of traditional knowledge in combating climate change, and 2) develop a policy recommendation document advocating for community-led innovations in fighting climate change from the deliberations as well as the research findings documented by the Natural Justice team on how IPLCs have been relying on their indigenous knowledge to withstand the effects of climate change. Scope of Work The consultant shall use the research findings from the report developed by the Natural Justice team to facilitate dialogue, strengthen capacity, create awareness, and explore areas of synergies among the stakeholders, to amplify the effectiveness of building resilience toward climate change. From the dialogue, a policy recommendation document shall be developed in collaboration with the stakeholders, to promote the use of community intervention best practices amid social and environmental changes. The assignment will seek to solve the following key problems: Awareness gaps among key stakeholders such as IPLCs, government, CSOs, and climate experts, regarding climate resilience building using community best practices. Lack of comprehensive documentation on the role of traditional knowledge in resilience building as well as the involvement of IPLCs in decision-making processes and their recognition as the custodians of indigenous knowledge. Objective The overarching objective of the study was to understand the state of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions that support local adaptive capacity and climate resilience building among Kenya’s Indigenous People and Local Communities. Towards this end, this project will seek to strengthen the capacity of key stakeholders to engage and amplify the use of community innovations in combating climate change. Duties and Responsibilities Under the overall supervision of Natural Justice’s Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation Coordinator, the consultant shall be expected to: Develop a draft training manual. Develop a facilitator’s guide to accompany the training manual. Formulate a policy recommendation document arising from the discussions held with the multi-stakeholders. Compile a report based on the input from the stakeholders during the convening. Qualifications of the Consultant Expert knowledge/advanced university degree in environmental law, human rights, sustainable development, or any other related field. A minimum of 7 years of relevant experience. Experience in conducting policy briefs. Expert knowledge in climate justice, traditional knowledge, and the legal dynamics around it.

CTG recruits, deploys and manages the right people with the right skills to implement humanitarian and development projects, from cleaners to obstetricians, and mechanics to infection specialists, we’re skilled in emergency response to crises such as the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Through our efficient and agile HR, logistical and operational services, CTG saves multilateral organisations time and money. We handle all our clients’ HR related issues, so they are free to focus on their core services. Overview of position In 2020, Nigeria was declared WPV free for having gone without any WPV cases for over four years. However, Nigeria is experiencing outbreaks of cVDPV2 due to low Routine Immunization (RI) coverage & population immunity. In 2018, Nigeria experienced a major outbreak leading to about 34 cases. The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) in collaboration with partners has ensured the overall planning, implementation & monitoring of the polio eradication program in 19 northern states & a few southern states where the spread was recorded. As of 2018, the number of cases reduced to 18, but about 4.3 million children are still unimmunized (18%, MICS / NICS 2021). RI performance in Nigeria has remained sub optimal for over 10 years, according to the National Demographic Health Surveys (NDHS) of 2003,2008, 2013 & 2018, communication & social mobilization are critical components in RI & Supplementary Immunization (SI) campaigns for polio vaccination & other vaccines.

The network also sees a vital role for youth in Africa to contribute to the development of practical solutions and efforts to enhance the livelihoods of vulnerable communities. The AYC has 228 members in 46 countries on the African continent. The AACJ Consortium believes that building strong and inclusive movements for climate justice in Africa - starting with the target countries - will be an engine for a powerful pan-African movement for climate justice. These programmes are supported by interventions aimed at influencing policies in the Netherlands and at the level of multinational institutions. 9 Programme Advisory Committees (PAC) are responsible for the implementation of these 10 programme components. With regards to movements, the main aim of AACJ is to help build a broad-based African movement that is aligned thematically and geographically, which brings together existing movements and struggles. Such a movement will create spaces for and harness the momentum of groups including youth, women, local communities and the more recent types of ‘leaderless movements’ and will integrate multiple sections of society – to rally around critical issues regarding climate justice. AACJ leads climate action in Africa, empowering communities through impactful interventions like awareness campaigns, workshops, and engagement with decision-makers. The program has successfully raised awareness about the urgent need for climate justice by mobilizing diverse segments of society, including women and young people, AACJ fosters collective responsibility in addressing climate change impacts. With a focus on sustainability and scalability, AACJ's efforts establish a foundation for long-term resilience, adaptation, and mitigation strategies, ensuring a more just and sustainable future for Africa.

Climate justice movements are of paramount importance globally, and their significance in Kenya is particularly pronounced due to the country's vulnerability to climate change impacts and the need for equitable solutions. According to the Kenya National Climate Change Policy, these movements should focus on: Addressing Vulnerability: Kenya is highly susceptible to the adverse effects of climate change, including droughts, floods, and changes in precipitation patterns. Climate justice movements play a crucial role in addressing the vulnerabilities of communities, especially those dependent on agriculture and natural resources. Equitable Resource Distribution: Climate justice movements advocate for the fair distribution of resources and benefits, ensuring that vulnerable and marginalized communities have access to necessary resources to adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts. In Kenya, where resource disparities exist, these movements strive to address socio-economic inequities exacerbated by climate change. Protecting Livelihoods: Many Kenyan communities, particularly those in rural areas, depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Climate justice movements work towards protecting these livelihoods by promoting sustainable agricultural practices, providing resilience-building strategies, and advocating for policies that support rural communities. Preserving Biodiversity: Kenya is renowned for its rich biodiversity, but climate change poses a threat to various ecosystems and endangered species. Climate justice movements emphasize the preservation of biodiversity, recognizing its importance for ecosystems, local livelihoods, and future generations. Mitigating Health Risks: Climate change contributes to the spread of diseases and poses health risks, affecting vulnerable populations in Kenya. Climate justice movements advocate for policies and interventions that address these health risks, ensuring access to healthcare and promoting adaptive strategies in the face of changing disease patterns. Empowering Local Communities: Climate justice movements empower local communities to actively participate in decision-making processes related to climate change adaptation and mitigation. In Kenya, this empowerment is crucial for building resilience at the local level and ensuring that communities have a voice in shaping policies that directly impact them. Promoting Sustainable Development: Climate justice movements advocate for sustainable development practices that balance economic growth with environmental conservation. In Kenya, where development pressures exist, these movements work towards ensuring that development initiatives consider the long-term impacts on the environment and communities. Ensuring Intergenerational Equity: Climate justice emphasizes the principle of intergenerational equity, recognizing that current actions should not compromise the well-being of future generations. In Kenya, this perspective is essential for making informed decisions that consider the long-term sustainability of natural resources and ecosystems. Global Responsibility: Kenya, as a developing nation, has contributed relatively minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions. Climate justice movements highlight the responsibility of developed nations to support developing countries in adapting to climate change impacts and transitioning to low-carbon economies. Policy Advocacy and Legal Frameworks: Climate justice movements play a pivotal role in advocating for and shaping policies and legal frameworks that address climate change at the local, national, and international levels. In Kenya, this involves influencing legislation that supports climate adaptation, mitigation, and justice. Climate justice movements in Kenya are crucial for advocating for equitable solutions, protecting vulnerable communities, preserving the environment, and ensuring a sustainable and just future in the face of climate change challenges. These movements contribute to shaping policies, building resilience, and fostering a sense of collective responsibility towards a climate-resilient and equitable society.

Overview of position In 2020, Nigeria was declared WPV free for having gone without any WPV cases for over four years. However, Nigeria is experiencing outbreaks of cVDPV2 due to low Routine Immunization (RI) coverage & population immunity. In 2018, Nigeria experienced a major outbreak leading to about 34 cases. The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) in collaboration with partners has ensured the overall planning, implementation & monitoring of the polio eradication program in 19 northern states & a few southern states where the spread was recorded. As of 2018, the number of cases reduced to 18, but about 4.3 million children are still unimmunized (18%, MICS / NICS 2021). RI performance in Nigeria has remained sub optimal for over 10 years, according to the National Demographic Health Surveys (NDHS) of 2003,2008, 2013 & 2018, communication & social mobilization are critical components in RI & Supplementary Immunization (SI) campaigns for polio vaccination & other vaccines.

Organizational Context The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, with a 191-member National Societies (NSs) network. The overall aim of IFRC is “to inspire, encourage, facilitate, and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by NSs with a view to preventing and alleviating human suffering and thereby contributing to the maintenance and promotion of human dignity and peace in the world.” IFRC works to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people before, during, and after disasters, health emergencies, and other crises. IFRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (Movement), together with its member National Societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The IFRC's work is guided by the following fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality. IFRC is led by its Secretary General, and has its Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. The Headquarters is organized into three main Divisions: (i) National Society Development and Operations Coordination; (ii) Global Relations, Humanitarian Diplomacy, and Digitalization; and (iii) Management Policy, Strategy, and Corporate Services. IFRC has five regional offices in Africa, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and the Americas. IFRC also has country cluster delegations and country delegations throughout the world. Together, the Geneva Headquarters and the field structure (regional, cluster, and country) comprise the IFRC Secretariat. IFRC has a zero-tolerance policy on conduct that is incompatible with the aims and objectives of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, including sexual exploitation and abuse, sexual harassment and other forms of harassment, abuse of authority, discrimination, and lack of integrity (including but not limited to financial misconduct). IFRC also adheres to strict child safeguarding principles. The IFRC Regional Office for Middle East and North Africa (MENA) based in Beirut supports 17 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' efforts to implement the humanitarian mission responding to both man-made and natural hazards and to become effective contributors to the work of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The regional office's support for National Societies has also increasingly focused on capacity building for effective service delivery. The National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies of the MENA region are striving to advance the shared agenda of serving humanity in the common mission of improving the lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable people. Fundamentally, the mission focuses on alleviating human suffering often caused by disasters, diseases, and other factors that increase exposure to risks in various ways.

ECRP-I became effective in September 2020, leveraging the experience of the Local Governance and Service Delivery Project (LGSDP). LGSDP was implemented between 2014-2019 and financed by the World Bank and laid the foundation for local institutions in South Sudan to actively participate in shaping their local community development initiatives. ECRP-1 focused on strengthening community-level infrastructure delivery and community institution strengthening. The project was implemented by a third party that saw the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) act as the Project Management Unit (PMU) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) provide complementary support. Based on the lessons learned from the first phase of the Enhancing Community Resilience and Local Governance Project (ECRP-I), the second phase, ECRP-II, has been designed to run from 2023-2027. ECRP-II aims to build upon the achievements of its predecessor and promote government ownership, youth engagement, gender inclusion, flood risk reduction, and institution strengthening for disaster risk management. It also includes an Operation & Maintenance (O&M) component tailored to each locality and infrastructure type and introduces performance-based grants to incentivize behavioral change among communities and county governments.

Particulièrement engagée dans le combat contre les maladies liées à l’eau insalubre, première cause de mortalité au monde, SI met en œuvre par ses interventions une expertise dans le domaine de l’accès à l’eau potable, l’assainissement et la promotion de l’hygiène mais également dans celui, essentiel, de la sécurité alimentaire et moyen d’existence. Présentes dans une vingtaine de pays environ, les équipes de SI – plus de 3000 personnes au total composées d’expatriés, de staffs nationaux, de permanents au siège, de quelques bénévoles…- interviennent avec professionnalisme et engagement dans le respect des cultures.

ENQUETE DE COUVERTURE POST ACTIVITE DE RATTRAPAGE DE SUPPLEMENTATION EN VITAMINE A (PECS 1ER SEMESTRE 2024)

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 09:47:28 +0000

Helen Keller International (Helen Keller Intl) est une organisation à but non lucratif qui se consacre à sauver et à améliorer la vue et la vie des personnes vulnérables dans le monde en luttant contre les causes et les conséquences de la cécité, de la mauvaise santé et de la malnutrition. Helen Keller Intl invite tous les soumissionnaires éligibles à soumettre des propositions pour mettre en œuvre une enquête de couverture post campagne de supplémentation en vitamine A prévue en mai/juin afin de mesurer la couverture des activités de distribution des SVA. L'objectif de cet appel d'offres est de prolonger la date de soumission de dossiers de candidature jusqu'au 03 Mai 2024 et de sélectionner un fournisseur qui offrira le meilleur rapport qualité-prix à Helen Keller Intl, lorsque les facteurs techniques et de coût sont combinés. Admissibilité des soumissionnaires La présente DP est ouverte aux organisations non gouvernementales et aux entités d'entreprises privées qui sont jugées capables de mettre en œuvre la portée des travaux, qui ont un solide dossier d'intégrité et d'éthique des affaires, et qui répondent aux critères d'admissibilité énoncés dans la présente section. Les soumissionnaires qui soumettent des propositions en réponse à la présente DP doivent satisfaire aux exigences suivantes : Être une entité non gouvernementale (entreprises à but lucratif et à but non lucratif, organisations non gouvernementales (ONG), etc.) qui sont légalement enregistrées en vertu des lois du pays où elles opèrent. Avoir démontré sa capacité et son expertise pour mettre en œuvre avec succès l'étendue des travaux. Avoir rempli les divulgations requises et les demandes d'information et de documentation intégrées à la présente DP Être prêt à se conformer aux règles et règlements applicables aux donateurs et aux exigences d'Helen Keller Intl. Remarque : Helen Keller Intl n'attribuera pas de contrat à une entreprise qui est exclue, suspendue ou dont l'exclusion est proposée par le gouvernement des États-Unis, ou qui propose de faire affaire avec des entreprises ou des dirigeants d'entreprises qui sont exclus, suspendus ou proposés à l'exclusion, dans le cadre de l'exécution de l'exigence de cette activité. Portée des travaux Helen Keller Intl évaluera toutes les propositions admissibles reçues en réponse à la présente demande de propositions conformément aux critères d'évaluation décrits dans le présent document. CONTEXTE Helen Keller Intl soutient la supplémentation en vitamine A de 40 millions d'enfants chaque année dans 14 pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. Lorsqu'elle est administrée deux fois par an à au moins 80 % des enfants âgés de 6 à 59 mois dans les pays où la mortalité des enfants de moins de cinq ans est élevée et où les taux de carence en vitamine A sont élevés, la supplémentation en vitamine A peut contribuer à réduire la mortalité infantile jusqu'à 24 %. Les capsules de vitamine A sont administrés aux enfants deux fois par an par le biais de multiples mécanismes d'administration. Certains pays organisent des campagnes de distribution de masse où des équipes de distributeurs se rendent dans chaque foyer pour donner la vitamine A aux enfants. D'autres ont intégré le SVA dans leurs soins de santé de base, parallèlement à la vaccination de routine ou à la surveillance de la croissance. Un troisième groupe de pays utilise un système hybride qui combine des campagnes et une supplémentation basée sur les services de routine. A Madagascar, Helen Keller Intl apporte un appui technique et financier pour la mise en œuvre de la Supplémentation en Vitamine A (SVA), dans un premier temps, dans les régions de Sava, Sofia, Menabe, Ihorombe puis compte élargir ses activités vers les régions de Melaky, Betsiboka, Boeny, Diana, par le biais d’activités de rattrapage couplées aux campagnes de vaccination (AVS polio, rougeole, AVII). Ces activités sont généralement organisées deux fois par an, vers mai et novembre de chaque année et sont mises en œuvre par le ministère de la Santé avec le soutien financier et technique des équipes d'Helen Keller. Afin d'évaluer le nombre d'enfants touchés par ces activités (couverture) du premier semestre 2024, Helen Keller Intl mène des enquêtes de couverture transversales auprès des ménages en suivant la méthodologie développée par l'OMS pour mesurer la couverture des campagnes de vaccination. Nous sommes actuellement à la recherche d'un cabinet de consultance ou de consultants pour accompagner les équipes d'Helen Keller dans le pays afin de mener une enquête, après la campagne de supplémentation en vitamine A de mai 2024. L'agence sera responsable de la préparation de l'enquête, y compris l'adaptation du protocole et des outils, la soumission du protocole et des outils aux comités national d’éthique, le recrutement, la formation et la supervision des enquêteurs de données sur le terrain, le contrôle qualité de la collecte des données, l'analyse des données et la production de rapports. Description de l'enquête Les enquêtes, appelées enquêtes de couverture post-événement (PECS), doivent être menées dans les 4 semaines suivant la fin des activités de rattrapage SVA afin d'éviter les biais de rappel. L'échantillonnage pour ces enquêtes se compose de 110 grappes qui doivent couvrir toutes les régions soutenues par Helen Keller Intl afin de fournir une estimation fiable de la couverture de la SVA dans ces régions. Comme Helen Keller couvre 4 régions sur 24, les grappes seront tirés par un tirage aléatoire systématique proportionnelle à la taille de la population par région par l’institut national de la statistique. . À l'intérieur de chacune des grappes sélectionnés, l'équipe de collecte de données procède d'abord à un dénombrement exhaustif de tous les ménages de la grappe, en répertoriant tous les ménages (éligibles et non éligibles), le nombre d'enfants et le nombre de personnes vivant dans chacun d'eux. À partir de cette liste, l'équipe sélectionnera au hasard environ 12 ménages éligibles pour administrer le questionnaire. Ces enquêtes permettent également d'échantillonner au hasard un établissement de santé et un distributeur communautaire dans chacun des grappes sélectionnées afin d'évaluer la performance de la mise en œuvre de la campagne, la satisfaction de l'agent de santé et de l'agent communautaire et d'identifier les défis qui ont pu affecter la couverture des activités de SVA. Les questionnaires auprès des ménages se concentrent principalement sur la réception des services de la SVA et les raisons de la non-réception, la satisfaction des mères gardiennes d’enfants, mais peuvent également intégrer des modules supplémentaires visant à évaluer la couverture d'autres services de santé et de nutrition ou à étudier les connaissances et les pratiques des membres du ménage sur des sujets pertinents pour le pays. Les questionnaires sont numérisés à l'aide de SurveyCTO et le cabinet de consultance doit fournir à chaque équipe de collecte de données des smartphones et/ou des tablettes qui peuvent être utilisés pour saisir les réponses des répondants sur le terrain. Helen Keller utilise la plateforme Survey CTO pour la collecte et le stockage des données dès qu'elles sont saisies dans les formulaires. Helen Keller Intl a adapté les guides et les outils de l'OMS aux besoins spécifiques du PECS et a développé une boîte à outils complète qui comprend le protocole, des questionnaires, des cadres analytiques et des modèles de rapport que l'agence de consultance utilisera pour la réalisation de l'enquête de couverture. Le cabinet de consultance conduire une contrôle qualité des données à différents moments de la collecte : Au cours du dénombrement, un contrôle qualité sera conduit par les superviseurs en retournant dans 10% des ménages dénombrés pour refaire le dénombrement et comparer leurs données avec celle des enquêteurs Via la plateforme SurveyCTO , il devra planifier des enregistrements systématiques de séquence des entretiens du dénombrement.

Helen Keller utilise STATA pour l'analyse des données et le cabinet de consultance devrait fournir tous les fichiers (do files d’apurement et d’analyse) de travail utilisés pour effectuer le nettoyage, la pondération et l'analyse des données. L'analyse et le rapport de l'enquête doivent être prêts dans un délai maximum de 2 mois après la fin de la campagne pour éclairer la préparation de la prochaine série de campagnes. Les dates des campagnes peuvent varier et Helen Keller se réserve le droit d'imposer des changements dans le calendrier des enquêtes.

Consultant – SIHA Strategic Plan Facilitator

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 08:44:19 +0000

Position: Consultant - SIHA Strategic Plan Facilitator Location: Remote with travel to Kampala for in-person engagement Reporting to: Senior Management Unit Timeline: 45 days from the beginning of the process Note: Three days in person moderating the SIHA strategy and placing the starting outlines in simulations with SIHA board selected staff members and selected SIHA grassroots members (Total of 25-30 participants). The rest of the work will be done remotely in consultation with the SIHA team. Application Deadline: May 06th 2024, 12:00AM EAT Introduction: The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) is seeking a qualified facilitator to lead the development of its strategic vision for the period 2025 - 2028. This TOR outlines the responsibilities, qualifications, and application process for this role. The facilitator will guide the strategic planning process, ensuring alignment with SIHA's mission, vision, and values and adapting to the changing context of the Horn of Africa. Background: SIHA, a network of civil society organizations working towards gender justice and the empowerment of women and girls in the Horn of Africa, has been at the forefront of addressing issues related to gender-based violence, economic empowerment, and access to justice. With its roots deeply embedded in feminist principles, SIHA has been instrumental in mobilizing grassroots movements and advocating for policy changes to enhance the lives of women and girls across the region. Building on the successes and learnings from its current strategic plan January 2021 to December 2024, SIHA recognizes the need for a dynamic strategic outlook that responds to the complex and changing socio-political landscape of the Horn of Africa. The timing of the strategic plan update is critical as the current context for promoting women’s rights and gender equality globally and in the Horn of Africa is rapidly shifting and transforming. Global attention to gender inequality and women’s issues has dramatically increased and gained importance in the past decades. The #metoo movement has been particularly central to the increased attention, shining a light on the prevalence and pervasiveness of sexual violence, political instability, and backlash towards women’s human rights and peace and security situations. The daily life of women across geographies and socioeconomic status in the region is becoming more complex. In the Horn of Africa and other parts of the continent, the impact of ongoing armed conflicts, fraction of power structures and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war while the brutality and violence against women and civilians have expanded into new territories is affecting women and girls and emancipating prevalence of violence into an imaginable way. Thus, the presence of SIHA as an active feminist grassroots network and the investment in it is membership and affiliates in the different countries across the region becomes critical to maintain the pact accomplishments and to continue struggling for an egalitarian and just future for the women and the communities across the region. At the same time, the funding environment for programs addressing women is experiencing a shift towards more direct funding to feminist organizations and movements rather than funding single women’s projects. This situation could have some advantages, but it also carries a huge responsibility, as it is putting the burden on the feminist groups to become very updated and savvy in their capacity to navigate such complex reality and to lead communities across the region. In addition, more funding is also becoming available to CSOs and NGOs based in the country or region, and there is a growing discourse on the need for a shift of power from the north to the south. This corresponds with a sharp increase in civil action and awareness in the region and globally. On the other hand, failure to fulfil and deliver obligations often leads to unrest, tensions, and pockets of conflict, as is the case in Ethiopia. On the other hand, the competing and fractured power structures are leading to a campaign of atrocities and violence against civilians in the case of Sudan. These 2 situations reflect severe setbacks and backlash on the conditions of women, which require strong civil society and women movements response and actions. Other countries in the region also struggle to sustain volatile stability and post-conflict situations. Conversely, in reaction to the increased violence and civil unrest, many regional governments have been driven to close the political space and place ever greater constraints on people’s freedom. With the shifting global political funding environment in mind, SIHA is contracting a consultant to lead it through the strategic planning process. The consultant will lead SIHA board members, select staff, and program advisors through a 3-day workshop that aims at developing a revised strategic plan for the next 4 year period, taking into account the shifting context and defining in more detail the methods and approach SIHA should utilize to achieve its overall mandate and mission. Scope of Work: 1. Preparation Phase (May 2024): Review SIHA's current strategic documents and relevant reports. The consultant will develop a questionnaire for SIHA staff, board and selected members based on a SWOT format to assess the strengths and weaknesses of operations as they relate to achieving the outcomes desired. Consult with key SIHA stakeholders to understand their perspectives and expectations. Design a participatory process for the strategic planning workshop. 2. Strategic Planning Workshop (1st week in June 2024): Lead a 3-day strategic planning workshop with SIHA's strategy team and other stakeholders. Facilitate discussions on SIHA's vision, mission, thematic priorities, and strategic approaches for 2025 - 2028. Guide the identification of strategic objectives, key result areas, and performance indicators. 3. Post-Workshop Phase (July - August 2025): Compile inputs from the workshop and draft the strategic plan document. Coordinate a review and feedback process with SIHA's board and key stakeholders. Finalize the strategic plan by incorporating feedback and preparing a presentation for SIHA's board approval. Activities: Assess the working context, including country-specific contexts (political, socio-economic, governance and operational environment), global funding environment, and women’s rights and gender equality. Review SIHA's current strategic plan and related documents to understand the organization's mission, vision, thematic areas, and past strategic approaches. Facilitate participatory workshops with SIHA stakeholders, including board members, staff, partners, and community representatives, to gather input on the strategic direction and priorities for 2025 - 2028. Conduct individual and group consultations with key SIHA stakeholders to refine the strategic priorities and gather specific feedback on the draft strategic framework. Assess and discuss institutional implications (financial, capacity, structure, etc.) Compile and draft the strategic plan, incorporating stakeholder feedback and aligning with SIHA's mission and vision for 2025 - 2028. The draft plan should include an Advocacy Plan and an M&E Framework. Present the draft strategic plan to the SIHA team and board for feedback and conduct a review session to finalize the plan based on the feedback received. Finalize the strategic plan document, incorporating all feedback from the SIHA team and board, and prepare a final presentation of the strategic plan for endorsement. Deliverables: An inception report outlining the strategic review methodology, including stakeholder engagement plans and a detailed timeline for the strategic planning process. A report summarizing the workshop discussions, key insights, and preliminary strategic priorities identified by stakeholders. A synthesized document detailing the refined strategic priorities, objectives, and key initiatives based on stakeholder consultations.

Engagement of Consultant for Public Finance Analysis/Budget Monitoring TOT

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:41:24 +0000

Plan International Nigeria in its new strategy, recognises the interplay of different aspects of governance in the ability of the government, the state, and its institutions to attend to issues affecting the citizens, especially children, girls, and women. In the new strategy, Girls Are Empowered to Take Action and Drive Change, it states in part that “The current situation of child rights and gender equality for girls in Nigeria is influenced by the interplay of a range of social, legal, economic, environmental, technological, and political factors. Whilst there have been legal and policy reforms which have influenced some small but significant shifts in awareness and practices, there are still significant gaps between policies and implementation”. These gaps as further illustrated by the strategy include “Weak political will, inadequate resources, and capacity required for policy and practice impact”. Taking a prime place among these challenges is the commitment of resources to addressing issues of concern, appropriation for gender-responsive capital projects and services and cash backing at the appropriate moments. This, thus means that intervention agencies such as Plan International Nigeria and others like it must of necessity, pay attention to budgetary processes, i.e. from envelopes development to budget defence, approval, assent, and implementation. If there are issues with the budgetary process and the proposals contained in the appropriation bills at the federal and states levels, implementation of the budgets and the budget performances are also issues of great concern. Much of the attention in public finance analyses are devoted to the scrutiny of the proposed budgets, with limited or near-zero attention to the implementation of the budgets. It is in the monitoring of the implementation perhaps that the relevance of the budget to the people, the purposefulness of the budget, and its intention could be gleaned. The relevance of a budget to national development and the aspirations of citizens across the different states is significant and the defence of the rights of citizens or the viability of a rights-based approach to social interventions is also tied to the existence of a budget conscious of the developmental needs of the citizens. This is so, as the budget serves as a crucial tool for governments to allocate resources, prioritise spending, and achieve broader economic and social goals. For any meaningful intervention by any NGO or other intervention agencies, there is need to have capacity for budget engagement, familiarity with the budgetary process, and support of the citizens and their agencies to do same. It is in line with this that a Training of Trainers is planned for selected staff of Plan International Nigeria at the field offices and the country office. To ensure that the training is fit for purpose and deliver on its intention of capacity building of staff to step down the training to other staff, partners and youth platforms, the services of a lead trainers and other support will be accessed. Specific Scope: Plan International Nigeria is seeking consultant to support capacity building of selected staff picked from the field offices and the country office in a Training of Trainers in Public Finance Analysis and Budget Tracking. The staff so trained, are expected after the training to have the capacity to train other staff, partner organizations, and representatives of young people organizations we work with. Roles and Responsibilities of Consultants Design, draft, and implement a comprehensive three-day training scheme that would provide trainees insight into budgetary processes and procedures, institutions and structures involved in budgetary processes and their roles. Ensure the training manual is disseminated to the appropriate team members at Plan International Nigeria prior to the training session. Build capacity of participants on basics elements of budgets and of budget analysis, structures and understanding the variances in budget expenses and revenue. Participate in and lead relevant sessions on Public Finance Analyses and Budgetary Advocacy. Expose participants to basic elements and characters of citizen-centred and gender-responsive budgetary process and budget. Support participants to create actionable plans to promote Public Finance Analysis and Budget Advocacy Deliverables, Time Frame and Level of Effort The period of the contract will be expected to cover a maximum of four days as per agreed upon timeline. The consultants are expected to carry out all the preparations required to facilitate the training as per the suggested time frame above: Tasks: Train Staff on Public Finance Analysis, Budget Advocacy, Tracking and Monitoring Deliverables: Training Resources Training of participants Post-training check and review Expected Time Frame: 3 days Tasks: Feedback, recommendation and submission of Report Deliverables: Process Report and Final Report Expected Time Frame: 1 day Qualifications of Consultant(s) Master’s degree (or other relevant professional qualification) required, preferably in law, social sciences and humanities.

Research and Learning Agency

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 13:08:12 +0000

Who We Are Girl Effect is an international non-profit that builds media that girls want, trust and need. From chatbots to chat shows and TV dramas to tech, our content helps adolescent girls in Africa and Asia make choices and changes in their lives. We create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, and relationships, empowering girls with the skills to negotiate and redefine what they are told is possible “for a girl”. Our reach is 50 million and counting, and we use technology to reach girls at scale so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, health, learning and livelihood. Because when a girl unlocks her power to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others to do so too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, community, and country. That’s the Girl Effect. Background: We are looking for an experienced agency to support us in understanding the learnings from the HPV vaccine launch and rollout in Nigeria by developing a synthesis report of existing evidence around successes, challenges and gaps in HPV vaccine as it relates to knowledge and behaviour change**.** The report will analyze existing research, literature, conduct key informant’s interviews and document findings to support the HPV demand generation efforts.

To understand the government’s plans for the routinization of HPV vaccines, what integration points within the health system are best fit for HPV? Are there considerations for any inclusions or amendments for pre-service and in-service training to capture HPV? Focus Group Discussions: Conduct Focus Group Discussions with AGYW, their parents and caregivers, and teachers to understand their perceptions of vaccines. The FGDs will answer the following questions; Who are the key gatekeepers for adolescents 9-14 years old getting the HPV vaccine? Who is the main decision maker (e.g. father, in-laws, mother)? What is the level of understanding/knowledge of the HPV vaccine and cervical cancer? Do people trust the HPV vaccine? Do they think it is safe? What encourages people to get the HPV vaccine? What stops people from getting the HPV vaccine? What are people’s attitudes towards the vaccine?

BACKGROUND The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and the international community acknowledge the critical importance of gender equality and human rights to the poverty eradication agenda in Somalia.

The Advisory Council is led by the Federal Ministry of Women and Human Rights Development, with Canada and Sweden as donor co-chairs. Its current membership, which meets virtually and in-person on a quarterly basis, is comprised of roughly 100 representatives from FGS, FMS, UN, Donors, NGOs, CSOs, academia. The Advisory Council is a part of Somalia’s new aid architecture where it coordinates, shares information, and participates in other fora, including other thematic working groups (i.e. security and justice, inclusive politics, economic development, social development, and climate change) and an overarching Development Coordination Forum.
