Somalia: International Climate Finance Expert

Organization: CTG Global
Country: Somalia
Closing date: 31 Dec 2016

Vacancy reference no.:

VAC-0402

Position:

International Climate Finance Expert

Place of performance:

Homebased

Contract duration:

up to 4 months

Starting date:

ASAP

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 THE POSITION

Approximately 70% of Somalis are dependent on climate-sensitive agriculture and pastoralism. As floods and droughts become more severe and frequent in Somalia, there is a need to find approaches that can reduce the sensitivity of farmers and pastoralists to increasing rainfall variability. With natural resource degradation also rampant throughout Somalia, most notably for the production of charcoal, Somalia is becoming increasingly vulnerable to conflicts over scarce resources. Climate change and resource scarcity are exacerbated by the absence of policies on land-use and disaster risk management that incorporate impacts of climate change and build resilience across Somalia to better cope with these impacts. At local levels, communities lack the financial, technical and informational resources needed to build their resilience to climate change as well as the knowledge of how to prepare for extreme weather impacts.

To address these issues, Global Environment Facility-Least Developed Countries Climate Fund (GEF-LDCF) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is financing a national project on “Enhancing Climate Resilience of Vulnerable Communities and Ecosystems in Somalia”. The main objective of the Project is to enhance resilience and improve adaptive capacity of vulnerable Somali communities in pilot areas, and the ecosystems on which they depend, to the adverse impacts of climate change. This objective is to be realised by working on set of activities under two main components:

Component 1: Enhancing policies, institutional frameworks and government capacities with focus on review, revision, development and adoption of policies, plans and tools to mainstream and enhance adaptive capacity and mitigate the risks of climate change on vulnerable communities and critical ecosystems.

Component 2: Piloting Ecosystem Based Adaptation strategies with focus on development and implementation of models of community and ecosystem resilience in pilot areas in collaboration with the government and community stakeholders

GENERAL FUNCTIONS

Role objective:

The objective of the assignment is to carry out a Climate Public Expenditures and Institutional Review (CPIER) which will feed into the National Climate Change Policy (NCCP). The goal is to develop a climate policy that has a strong plan for financing the recommended actions and is based on analysis of the costs of climate change to Somalia while also capitalizing on international opportunities for financing of climate adaptation activities.

Development and Adoption of National Climate Change Policy for Somalia as part of the Project titled: “Enhancing Climate Resilience of the vulnerable Communities and Ecosystems in Somalia”

Expected output:

The Climate Finance Expert will not only produce the CPIER, but will also support the Team Leader in preparation of key aspects of the National Climate Change Policy including the development of a budget for a 5-year and 15-year action plan, estimating the economic costs of climate change to Somalia, and proposing institutional strategies for improving planning and budgeting processes. The Economic Expert will also prepare sections for the NCCP on international climate finance resources with recommendations on the most appropriate and viable opportunities for Somalia in light of the prioritized adaptation options.

i. Inception Report: The Climate Finance Expert engaged on this assignment will have to produce an inception report within 2 weeks from the date of signing of the contract, to present a timeline and annotated table of contents of the CPIER and a list of documentation to be reviewed.

ii. Report on Climate Financing Opportunities for Somalia: A report which describes in brief the key funds, instruments, mechanisms and opportunities for accessing financial resources for adaptation in Somalia should be presented. This should be brief and will be further detailed in the CPIER report and in line with the recommended adaptation actions of the NCCP.

iii. Climate Public Expenditures and Institutional Review (CPIER) report: A CPIER report that aligns with the objectives of the NCCP will be produced. The report will focus on costs of climate change to various economic sectors, overall costs of adaptation and mitigation, and review of fiscal and planning process with recommendations on how to address climate change within them.

iv. Final National Climate Change Policy Document (after Validation and Approval of the Federal Cabinet): The Climate Finance Expert will assist the Team Leader in producing the final NCCP document which must be validated and approved by the Somali government.

i. Inception Report: The Climate Finance Expert engaged on this assignment will have to produce an inception report within 2 weeks from the date of signing of the contract, to present a timeline and annotated table of contents of the CPIER and a list of documentation to be reviewed.

ii. Report on Climate Financing Opportunities for Somalia: A report which describes in brief the key funds, instruments, mechanisms and opportunities for accessing financial resources for adaptation in Somalia should be presented. This should be brief and will be further detailed in the CPIER report and in line with the recommended adaptation actions of the NCCP.

iii. Climate Public Expenditures and Institutional Review (CPIER) report: A CPIER report that aligns with the objectives of the NCCP will be produced. The report will focus on costs of climate change to various economic sectors, overall costs of adaptation and mitigation, and review of fiscal and planning process with recommendations on how to address climate change within them.

iv. Final National Climate Change Policy Document (after Validation and Approval of the Federal Cabinet): The Climate Finance Expert will assist the Team Leader in producing the final NCCP document which must be validated and approved by the Somali government.

Project reporting:

The Climate Finance Expert will not only produce the CPIER, but will also support the Team Leader in preparation of key aspects of the National Climate Change Policy including the development of a budget for a 5-year and 15-year action plan, estimating the economic costs of climate change to Somalia, and proposing institutional strategies for improving planning and budgeting processes. The Economic Expert will also prepare sections for the NCCP on international climate finance resources with recommendations on the most appropriate and viable opportunities for Somalia in light of the prioritized adaptation options.

A. Literature review and compilation of relevant documentation, and analysis (5 days)

• Review latest publications on CPIER best practices, lessons learned, and review CPIERs from other countries, especially in the sub-Saharan Africa region.

• Review publications, independent articles, research studies, UN reports, government documents that cover the issues associated with climate change in Somalia. Many of these will be shared by the Team Leader and National Consultant to ensure that key documents are reviewed.

• Review of Existing Policies, Institutions and Regulatory frameworks which will be provided by the NCCP team

• Compile and review all documentation related to international, regional, and national financing sources for implementation of the NCCP. Produce a brief report highlighting the key financing sources and instruments.

B. Prepare CPIER report

• Given the context of Somalia, with weak information systems and lack of availability of data, it is not expected that a full-fledged CPIER be conducted. The Consultant is expected to present a methodology for a CPIER that can be conducted within a short period of time and with limited data availability. An inception plan along with an annotated table of contents should be prepared to guide the discussion and processes.

• The CPIER analysis should be set within the context of national policy and institutional arrangements that exist to manage the response to climate change in each country. Since the NCCP is being produced simultaneously, the CPIER will actually contribute to the development of the NCCP as well. Therefore, it is important that it is developed with this objective in mind, which may be unique to the Somali context.

• The CPEIR should define what constitutes climate expenditures so that Somali institutions are able to track these in the future. The CPEIR analysis should also include estimates of costs of the impacts of climate change on key economic sectors, the estimated costs of adaptation, and recommendations on a fiscal framework for financing adaptation, and description of funding modalities. Moreover, the CPIER should also recommend planning and budgeting processes for mainstreaming climate financing.

C. Support Team Leader in Preparing Sections of the NCCP

• The Climate Finance Expert will assist the Team Leader in preparation of and input to sections on the NCCP. This will include but not be limited to the Vulnerability Assessment, Institutional Analysis, Adaptation Options, and preparation of budgets for 5 and 15 year plans.

    Si vous êtes engagé, un professionnel créatif et êtes passionné de faire une différence durable pour les enfants, l'Organisation leader en matière des droits des enfants dans le monde aimerait vous connaître.

    Depuis 70 ans, l'UNICEF travaille sur le terrain dans 190 pays et territoires pour favoriser la survie, la protection et le développement des enfants. Premier fournisseur mondial de vaccins pour les pays en développement, l'UNICEF soutient la santé infantile et la nutrition, l'eau potable et l'assainissement, l'éducation de base de qualité pour tous les garçons et les filles, et la protection des enfants contre la violence, l'exploitation et le SIDA. L'UNICEF est entièrement financé par des contributions volontaires de particuliers, d'entreprises, de fondations et de gouvernements.

  • Context et justification

  • La mission fondamentale de l'UNICEF est de promouvoir les droits de chaque enfant partout, tel que défini par la Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant; dans tout ce que l'organisation fait - dans les programmes, plaidoyer et la mise en œuvre. La stratégie de l'équité, mettant l'accent sur les enfants et les familles les plus défavorisées et exclus, traduit cet engagement en faveur des droits dans l'action des enfants. Pour l'UNICEF, l'équité signifie que tous les enfants ont la possibilité de survivre, se développer et atteindre leur plein potentiel, sans discrimination, préjugés ou favoritisme. A chaque fois qu'un enfant a une chance inégale dans la vie, aussi bien dans ses dimensions sociales, politiques, économiques, civiques que culturelles, ses droits sont violés. Les preuves sont de plus en plus évidentes que l'investissement dans la santé, l'éducation et la protection des citoyens les plus défavorisés d'une société pour adresser les inégalités donnera à tous les enfants la possibilité de réaliser leur potentiel et conduira au développement équitable et durable des pays. Ceci est la raison pour laquelle l'accent sur l'équité est si vital. Il accélère les progrès vers la réalisation des droits de l'homme de tous les enfants, ce qui est le mandat universel de l'UNICEF, tout en soutenant le développement équitable des nations.

    Depuis le début l'année 2014, l'Unité Santé Maternelle, Néonatale et Infantile a mis en œuvre un programme pour démontrer le coût / efficacité de l'intégration du diagnostic et traitement de la pneumonie et de la diarrhée dans le programme de financement à grande échelle du paludisme dans le cadre de la prise en Charge Intégrée des Maladies de l'Enfant au niveau communautaire.

    South Sudan: Consultancy-Market Assessment and Value Chain Analysis

    Organization: CARE
    Country: South Sudan
    Closing date: 15 Jan 2017

    1. Background

    The Addressing Root Causes (ARC) programme in South Sudan is part of a funding scheme set up by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aimed at tackling the root causes of armed conflict, instability and irregular migration in a number of countries including South Sudan.

    South Sudan has suffered from decades of conflict and neglect. Despite a 2015 peace agreement, the fighting has recently expanded across the country, culminating in an outbreak of hostilities in the capital Juba on July 8, 2016. This latest outburst of violence quickly spread to other regions that had been previously relatively calm, including Jonglei State. The escalation of the conflict has exacerbated an already dire humanitarian situation, presenting interlocking threats to the survival, health and protection of South Sudanese women, men, boys and girls. Distrust between communities and ethnic groups and distrust between citizens and authorities, feelings of marginalization, unresolved grievances from decades of war and conflict, ineffective and inequitable mechanisms for peaceful conflict resolution, lack of employment and economic opportunities, especially impacting youth, gender inequality, harmful gender norms and culture of revenge. The CARE and HDC consortium will implement the ARC programme in South Sudan, in 4 counties in Jonglei state. The programme seeks to address root causes triggering the conflict and instability in general in South Sudan, and specifically in Jonglei. The long-term objective of the programme is: to increase the ability of communities in 19 payams in 4 counties in Jonglei state to withstand economic or conflict induced shocks. ARC has three outcomes areas: (1) Economic Resilience, (2) Peaceful Conflict Resolution and (3) Social Cohesion. Within outcome one, a market assessment is planned.

    South Sudan: Final Evaluation Strengthening Systems of Peace in South and West Kordofan

    $

    Organization: Search for Common Ground
    Country: South Sudan
    Closing date: 22 Dec 2016

    1. Context

    About Search for Common Ground

    Search for Common Ground (SFCG) is an international conflict transformation NGO that aims to transform the way individuals, groups, governments and companies deal with conflict, away from adversarial approaches and towards collaborative solutions. Headquartered in Washington DC, USA, and Brussels, Belgium, with field offices in 35 countries, SFCG designs and implements multifaceted, culturally appropriate and conflict-sensitive programs using a diverse range of tools, including media and training, to promote dialogue, increase knowledge and determine a positive shift in behaviors. In Sudan, SFCG provides technical assistance to local partners in peacebuilding programming.

    About the project

    Since 2009, SFCG has supported our local partner the Badya Centre for Integrated Development (Badya Centre) to strengthen non-violent conflict transformation in South and West Kordofan with a focus on documenting and reinforcing local level peace treaties.

    Our experience has shown that even amid macro-level conflict that spans across regions and borders, local relationships and institutions are key in preventing violence, saving lives and promoting stability. Recognizing the far-reaching consequences of armed violence, numerous communities have crafted creative, contextually appropriate conflict resolution mechanisms that address the structural causes of conflict at the local-level. In South Kordofan, peace treaties have regulated interaction between the Dinka and Misseriya, and the Hawazma and Nuba for decades, for example, while similar agreements have appeared across the region to manage disputes over land, water use, and trade. Yet, despite their significant contributions to defusing local tensions, there had been no attempt to comprehensively document such mechanisms.

    Situated alongside one of Africa’s most volatile borders and home to a growing and pervasive conflict, SFCG and the Badya Centre’s 24-month project sought to raise awareness and understanding – and thus strengthen support – of trusted peace systems in two states critical to the stability of Sudan. The Ministry of Culture and Information was a key partner in the project. Specifically, the project aimed at strengthening reliance on trusted peace systems in South and West Kordofan. This overall objective was achieved through three mutually enforcing specific objectives:

    1. Collect and catalogue traditional and customary peace agreements in South and West Kordofan;
    2. Disseminate findings to key stakeholders at the County, Provincial, and State levels;
    3. Engage local actors in the enforcement of traditional and customary peace agreements.

    As the project is due to conclude in February 2017, SFCG and Badya Centre are now seeking an evaluator to carry out the final evaluation of the work undertaken. Please note that the selected evaluator must be authorized to work in Sudan.

    2. Objectives of the evaluation

    Objectives of the evaluation

    This evaluation will assess the project’s relevance, effectiveness, impact (both expected and unexpected) and sustainability. This evaluation will be independently led by an external consultant (an individual or a team).

    The evaluation will address the following objectives:

    1. Assess activity progress and measure the state of the project’s indicators after implementation of the activities;
    2. Analyse the following evaluation criteria: relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability;
    3. Extract critical lessons learned and make recommendations.

    Audience

    The primary users of the evaluation will be SFCG, the Badya Centre for Integrated Development and the European Union.

    VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
    Issued on: 15/12/2016

    ORGANIZATIONAL LOCATION: UN-HABITAT

    DUTY STATION: Nairobi/ Kenya with travel to Somalia if security permits

    FUNCTIONAL TITLE: Socio-economic and livelihood expert

    DURATION: 6 working months

    CLOSING DATE: 30 Dec 2016

    BACKGROUND

    Prolonged instability in Somalia has culminated in widespread adverse social and economic consequences that have inhibited the development of the livelihood asset base of the Somali people. The country’s 25 year conflict has seen the destruction of key economic infrastructure on a scale seen nowhere else on earth; government buildings, public facilities, roads, and transportation and communication networks have been destroyed or severely damaged. Although this destruction has been wide-spread and affected populations throughout the country, urban centres – hubs for economic activity and development – have been adversely affected. The lack of economic infrastructure that stimulates enterprise development and supports economic growth has resulted in limited investment in the productive sectors, effectively constraining the urban population to rely predominantly on an informal economy based on trade, transport, utilities, communication and construction, for income and service provision. Subsistence petty trading and micro-sized enterprises have become the primary sources of employment and income for the majority of city-dwellers.

    Fragile livelihoods, highly vulnerable to shock, and high unemployment rates are challenges that are exacerbated by the absence of adequate infrastructure. Overall unemployment rates are amongst the highest in the world; 67% among people aged 14 to 29, and 74% among women. The urban economy urgently requires technology and skills transfer to be able to improve productivity and increase access to new markets. Dire living conditions and a system of sustained exclusion have adversely affected the lives of vulnerable urban communities such as IDPs and poor host communities. In the 2001 Somalia Human Development Report Somalia ranked 161 out of 163 countries worldwide in terms of human development.

    Women in general, and female-headed households in particular, face challenges to sustain livelihoods and food security. Balancing work and child-care further hinders engagement of women in economic activities and manifests their dependency on international aid and food care. Somalia has been rated as the fourth worst country in the world in terms of gender inequality . Women continue to face considerable gender barriers to access the formal labour market and find opportunities for improving their quality of life.

    25 years of conflict in Somalia has also resulted in a significant loss of human capital, technical knowledge and capacities; problems which continue to hinder stability and economic development throughout the country. The population in general lacks both the technical skills/knowledge and the funds to initiate or resume any kind of income-generating activities, thus exacerbating the country-wide situation in terms of poverty, job insecurity, and social instability.

    The vast majority of Somalis, in particular women, do not have access to technical and vocational training. A core problem is the lack of availability of high quality vocational skills training and a mismatch in the training that is available and the actual need within the existing market. There is no existing institutional vocational training system in Somalia. Existing vocational training infrastructure is inadequate to supply a qualified and skilled workforce to support the existing and foreseen reconstruction and development efforts, especially in the construction and transportation sectors. Even those that have acquired a basic set of skills, often either possess skills that are not demand driven - resulting in a mismatch between their education/training and the skills in demand by the private sector - or are underskilled and therewith still do not have the minimum skills required by the employees or are unable to move to higher income categories or expand their business activities. In addition, for those already engaged in business activities or those wishing to start a business, lack of access to relevant entrepreneurial training is a major constraint to business development.

    Addressing the deficiencies in the economic infrastructure and the labour market to respond to the needs of the private sector and more dynamic growth markets is more than ever before relevant for Somalia – and nowhere more so than the South Central region. In particular, Mogadishu and Kismayo are both strategic cities possessing economic infrastructure – such as ports and airports – critical to the economic and social stability for the country. Improving productivity and livelihoods, in a gender equal manner, is paramount to ensure stability and socio-economic development throughout the country.

    Project Context

    The proposed project supports both the revitalization of critical economic infrastructure and the development of human capital vis-a-vis quality technical and vocational training necessary to support stability and economic development. This will be achieved by i) rehabilitation of key economic infrastructure ii) women’s empowerment and food security through improving productive capacities iii) strengthening the institutional capacity of Somalia’s vocational training system to deliver up-to-date training courses relevant to the requirements of modern enterprises operating in the country.

    Project Development Goal:
    Improve economic growth and employment opportunities in Somalia
    Project Objectives:

    • Strengthen quality of, and access to, vocational training & improve workforce skills and productivity focusing on critical urban infrastructure (transportation, light manufacturing, construction sector/ construction related industries) as well as in upcoming sectors of the urban economy;
    • Improve livelihoods and food security for urban women in the (renewable) energy and handicraft sectors;
    • Create short and long term jobs through the revitalization of key economic infrastructure such as communication, transportation, distribution networks, financial institutions, energy supply systems, and/or markets through physical rehabilitation, capacity building and on the job skills training.

    The project will be jointly implemented by UN-Habitat and UNIDO.
    UNIDO's mission is to improve the living conditions of people and promote global prosperity by offering tailor made solutions for sustainable industrial development. In Somalia, UNIDO has been focusing on private sector development and the development of vocational training schools to deliver demand-driven training courses. UNIDO's role in the project is to provide the technical aspects of skills training, such as rehabilitation of training centers, provision and installation of equipment, and development of curricula for the technical subjects.

    UN-Habitat’s mission is to promote socially and environmentally sustainable human settlements development and the achievement of adequate shelter for all. In Somalia, UN-Habitat has been heavily involved in the development of the urban economy, urban basic services, and capacity development. UN-Habitat’s role in this project focuses on the coordination of rehabilitation activities, as well as the promotion of livelihood activities in Mogadishu. UN-Habitat specializes in the rehabilitation of public facilities and technical Infrastructure hand-in-hand with capacity building.
