Deputy Project Manager Institutional Development
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Humanitarian Aid
Location: Kenya (Nairobi)
Closing date: 21 Sep 2008
Job Description

I. Position Information
Post Title: Deputy Project Manager Institutional Development
Contract type: Fixed -Term (200 Series)
Level: L4 (subject to classification)
Duration: One Year
Supervisor: Project Manager– Somalia Institutional Development Project (SIDP)
Duty Station: Nairobi, with frequent travel to Somalia (possible relocation to Somalia when situation permits)
Date of Issue: 5th September 2008
Closing Date: 21st September 2008

II. Organizational Context
UNDP Somalia is composed of three main clusters: Rule of Law and Security (ROLS), Governance (Governance) and Recovery and Sustainable Livelihoods (RSL).

The three current legal frameworks under which Somalia is being ruled are the Transitional Federal Charter (2003), the Puntland Charter (1998) and the Somaliland Constitution (2001). The Reconstruction and Development program which was developed by all partners in 2007 and which is based on a Joint Needs Assessment that was carried out in 2006 focuses on three pillars: Governance, Social services and Livelihoods. The UN Transition Plan for 2008-9 has formulated five outcomes, four of which UNDP is actively involved in:
- Governance
- Rule of Law and Security
- Local Governance
- Livelihoods

Governance is a growing programme in a challenging environment. It consists of the following components:
- Capacity Building and Institutional Development: provide basic capacity to Government at federal and state level (short term targeted assistance for key government offices and longer term capacity building)
- Local Governance: Support formation and development of local governance, and develop a platform for decentralized service delivery, jointly with other UN agencies
- Dialogue/Constitution and Civil Society: Support to the constitutional process and participatory governance

For the first component of the Governance program, UNDP has put in place an integrated and multi-faceted Somali Institutional Development Project (SIDP) which is divided in two parts: support services and capacity building. The SIDP is the single largest project of institutional development support to Somalia. The Deputy Project Manager (DPM – SS) is the Head of the support services.

Key SIDP outputs are:
- Strengthening policy and legislative systems and processes.
- Developing human resource capacities; and
- Improving public administration through support to the public financial management system(PFM) and public accountability

The rationale for focusing on these four pillars is that sustainable development in Somalia depends on making progress simultaneously in each of these areas: i) Policy and legislative systems and processes need to be improved to assist central government institutions to be more effective and accountable; ii) Human resources need to be developed and better managed, to reduce vulnerabilities, ensure sustainability through Somali led institutions, and support attainment of the MDGs; iii) Critically, improvements in public administration need to be registered to support the delivery of social services to the needy; and lastly, iv) development of physical infrastructure is central to achieving development effectiveness and poverty reduction.

The DPM – SS will need to engage in complex negotiations with a broad range of senior government officials in the framework of the support provided to the Transitional Federal Institutions as well as for the support provided towards the UNPOS led high level peace process in Djibouti as well as other political processes that might require UNDP support. Besides the above, he/she will provide analytical and operational support towards a multidisciplinary partnership process that will be developed under the Capacity Building arm of the SIDP project.

On a daily basis, the DPM – SS will work under the supervision of the Project Manager SIDP and in close collaboration and consultations with the SIDP Capacity Building Team and UNDP Somalia Operations team and will be responsible for the timely implementation of the UNDP activities as agreed in the annual work plans. The Deputy Project Manager will have substantive knowledge of his/her functional area and will function as as OIC of the project in case of absence of the Project Manager. The DPM-SS will supervise a team of staff in Nairobi and in Central South Somalia. The nature of the responsibilities will require the incumbent to extensively liaise and negotiate with the donor community.

Migrant Health Situation Assessment – Internship
International Organization for Migration (IOM)
Intergovernmental organization
Location: Kenya (Nairobi)
Closing date: 19 Sep 2008
Job Description

Migrant Health Situation Assessment – Internship – Unremunerated – 1-3 Months

Background

IOM Nairobi Mission with Regional Functions (MRF) is based in Nairobi, and covers Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Somalia.

The incumbent will be placed within the Migration Health Department (MHD). This unit works multisectorally to strengthen government-driven health systems for migrants and other mobile populations in Kenya and the region. IOM implements its health programme in close partnership with the Coordinating Centre for Migrant Health, situated within the Ministry of Health Division of Health Promotion.

The MHD programme provides technical assistance to IOM Member States through strategic planning, strengthening coordination mechanisms, offering strategic information for designing / improving programmes, and collaboratively developing and implementing government-driven migration health initiatives. Communicable disease surveillance and control, HIV/AIDS, psychosocial well-being, and reproductive and child health are important elements of the programme. Migrant health research and university partnerships are cross-cutting components of the regional framework.

IOM currently operates a community wellness centre in Eastleigh, an area in Nairobi with a large population of migrants of Somali, Oromo (Ethiopian), and Sudanese origin. These culturally-distinct populations comprise individuals of regular and irregular immigration status, a minority who have attained refugee status. The community is largely marginalized from mainstream health programmes due to lack of strategic information on epidemiology, health risk and vulnerability, and health-seeking behaviours. It is believed that language barriers, cultural beliefs, gender norms, poverty, and immigration status are imparting a profound effect on access to preventive and curative health programming.

IOM is seeking a qualified individual to carry out a situational assessment of the health needs and service availability of these populations. Such strategic information is required in order to identify programming gaps, establish priorities within district and national health plans, and to facilitate improved availability and accessibility of vulnerable migrants to basic promotive and clinical health programmes.

Preferred methodology for the assignment is rapid assessment; however, more comprehensive and technical research papers and/or thesis proposals would also be welcomed. Anticipated start date is September 2008.

Expected Output:

Final report that includes description and analysis of:
- Main health conditions and concerns, from perspective of migrants, authorities, and healthcare providers.
- Identification of existing promotive and clinical health programmes targeting and/or available to migrants.
- Identification of health-seeking behaviours and factors affecting service accessibility, quality, and uptake.
- Annexes including list of individuals consulted and bibliography
- Detailed recommendations for improved health policy and programming.

Specific Duties:

Under the overall supervision of the IOM Senior Health & HIV Assistant, and in collaboration with colleagues in IOM Nairobi’s Migration Health Department, IOM Headquarters, government health officials, and the individual’s advisor at collaborating institution (as relevant), the incumbent will:

a) Develop a research proposal including methodology, protocol, work plan, and timeline.
b) Provide a detailed list of resources and support needed from IOM.
c) Collect and review of literature, including research, assessments, action plans (government, UNDAF), and other relevant material
d) Keep IOM and other supervisors apprised of progress throughout, and share draft protocols and write-up for input.
e) Develop a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the methods, findings, and initial recommendations.
f) Submit a draft report to IOM and relevant advisors with possible presentation to stakeholders for validation.
g) Produce final report comprising background, methods, findings, constraints, recommendations, and bibliography to IOM and partners.
h) Oversee editing and final layout of the report using IOM English style guide and the programme’s publications template.
i) Assist IOM and collaborating institution in preparing the paper for publication, as relevant.

Support Provided by IOM:

a) Provide guidance and supervision throughout the placement in addition to the backing and support of IOM as an internationally recognized intergovernmental organization.
b) Provide a functional working space, computer, internet and research software (as relevant), materials required for undertaking the assessment (e.g. stationery), and transport as required to undertake the study.
c) Facilitate access to target populations, government counterparts, and stakeholders.
d) Provision of translators, as needed.

Desired Qualifications:

Consultancy - Mid-term Evaluation
Danish Institute for Human Rights
Location: Rwanda
Closing date: 15 Sep 2008
Job Description

Mid-term evaluation and development analysis of the Rwandan Legal Aid Forum under the project “Building the Foundations of Access to Justice in Rwanda”.

Position: Experienced consultancy team to carry out a mid-term evaluation and development analysis of the project

Duration: Approximately 20 days at least 12 of which should be spent in Rwanda. 4 days may be spent in another country in the region. To start mid October 2008.

1. BACKGROUND

1.1. Overall objective and aims of the project

The Legal Aid Forum (LAF) is a network of legal aid providers working towards a vision of ‘equitable access to justice for all’. It was started in 2006 following a study on legal aid that highlighted the existence of many positive initiatives, but noted limited collaboration and fragmented service provision. The LAF thus aims to create a space for organisations to share information and best practices, collaborate around capacity building and identify areas where combined efforts will strengthen advocacy and research.

1.2. Organisational structure

The Danish Institute for Human Rights is an independent, national human rights institution modeled in accordance with the UN Paris Principles.

In its international work DIHR works in partnership with state authorities, academic institutions and civil society organisations. DIHR has worked in Rwanda since 1997 and since 2006 DIHR has supported the establishment and development of the Legal Aid Forum and is working in a number of countries in Africa to support the work of legal aid organisations.

The Legal Aid Forum is a membership based organisation governed by a Charter adopted by the founding members in October 2006. The membership comprises over 30 Rwandan civil society organisations, the Rwandan Bar Association, the Corps of Judicial Defenders, university legal clinics, trade union organisations and a number of international organisations supporting the work of national legal aid providers.

An elected steering committee of 9 organisations assures the planning and development of the Forum and a small Secretariat (hosted by DIHR) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Forum and its activities.

2. PROBLEMATIC

Following the initial founding period of the Legal Aid Forum it is necessary to analyse and consider a number of different options related to the future structure and strategic direction of the LAF. For this reason the LAF wishes to combine a mid-term evaluation with a more in-depth strategic analysis of the way forward including where applicable comparative experiences from similar networks and grant-making mechanisms in the region.

Whilst the evaluation and analysis will be focused on Rwanda it is anticipated that the final report will be of wider interest particularly to civil society networks in the region.

3. OBJECTIVE

Overall Objective
To analyse the efficiency and effectiveness of the project in working towards the realisation of its objectives and to provide recommendations for the second phase of the initial three year project.

Specific Objectives
PART ONE
To carry out a mid-term evaluation focusing on the effectiveness, impact, relevance, sustainability and efficiency of the project.

PART TWO
To review, analyse and make recommendations in relation to:
- the short and medium term development of the Legal Aid Forum in relation to its organisational structure and management
- the options for the development and management of a grant making body that benefits members of the Legal Aid Forum

4. CRITERIA

It is envisaged that a team of 2 people will carry out the consultancy bringing different expertise and perspectives. The team should have, at a minimum, the following qualifications and experience:

- Professional Experience: at least 10 to 15 years of experience working on human rights and/or access to justice projects including specific experience in carrying out external evaluations. At least one member of the team should have significant experience working with donors and an in-depth knowledge of different approaches to funding civil society initiatives.
Prior experience and knowledge of Rwanda’s developments within the justice system and evolution of civil society is highly desirable.
- Education: a post graduate degree in a relevant discipline such as human rights, law, anthropology, sociology, international relations.
- Language: fluency in either English or French. At least one member of the team should be able to read documents and communicate effectively in both languages.
- Skills: excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to build a rapport with people of differing experiences and backgrounds.
- Other: willingness to travel to and stay in rural areas.

5. APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Interested consultants from Rwanda or other countries should submit an application containing the following elements:
- a 2-4 page concept paper including substantive and methodological aspects;
- curriculum vitae of the proposed consultants and the particular relevant expertise that each consultant brings to the evaluation; and
- proposed consultancy fees, budget and timetable.
Consultants may either apply as a team or individually and a proposal for a team will be discussed at the short-listing stage.

Applications should be sent electronically by 15 September 2008 5pm (Central European / Rwandan Time) to the Danish Institute for Human Rights and the Legal Aid Forum to the following email addresses: cmu@humanrights.dk with copy to karol.limondin@gmail.com and legalaidrwanda@gmail.com.
