CONSULTANCY JOB OPENING
Issued on: 5 December 2016

ORGANIZATIONAL LOCATION:UN-Habitat Headquarters, Evaluation Unit and Urban Planning and Design Branch

DUTY STATION:Home-based with missions as required

FUNCTIONAL TITLE:Evaluation of UN-Habitat’s City Planning and Design Strategy, including the Public Space Programme and Urban Planning and Design Lab, 2012-2016

DURATION:Total 8 weeks from January to April 2017

CLOSING DATE:30 December 2016

Link to full TOR: http://mirror.unhabitat.org/downloads/docs/TOR2016.pdf

BACKGROUND
The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) is the lead United Nations agency for cities and human settlements. The agency was established as the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UNCHS), through the General Assembly Resolution 32/162 of December 1977, following the first global Conference of United Nations on Human Settlements that was held in Vancouver, Canada, in 1976. By resolution 56/206, the United Nations Generally Assembly elevated the UNCHS to Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat).

UN-Habitat, being the focal point for all urbanization and human settlement matters within the UN system, has a role in delivering the global sustainable development agenda - 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, adopted by Member States in 2015, specifically of goal 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

UN-Habitat's work is delivered through six-year Strategic Plans. The previous Medium-Term Strategic and Institutional Plan (2008-2013) was delivered with reform processes initiated in 2011 that lead to the adoption of the current strategic plan 2014-2019. In the strategic plan, UN-Habitat is delivering its work through seven sub-programmes / focus areas that correspond to seven organizational branch entities.

During the period since 2012, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the debate on the New Urban Agenda have taken place and a reciprocal influence has resulted within the UN-Habitat set-up, given the important positioning of urban planning and design in both documents.

The focus of this evaluation is the city planning and design strategy, including the public space programme and urban planning and design lab implemented under Focus Area 2, expected accomplishment (EA) 2.2, which is to deliver “improved policies, plans and designs for compact, integrated and connected, socially inclusive cities and neighbourhoods adopted by partner cities”. The City Planning Extension and Design Unit (CPEDU) is in charge of delivering EA 2.2.

CPEDU provides normative, capacity building, technical and advisory support to partner cities to produce better plans, designs and policies that are compact, connected, integrated, inclusive and resilient to climate change. The Unit uses an implementation strategy for city planning and a public space, which has been in use since 2012 and to date reflects the overall strategy of the Unit.

The Unit has structured its work in a Public Space Programme, a Urban Planning and Design Lab, and a core coordinating office responding to the mandate and demand from external partners and to organize the work, with different focal persons and reflecting budgeting arrangements, and supported by several projects and a variety of donors and clients. The urban planning and design lab and public space programme offer services that include city specific planning tools, principles, standards and methods; training and capacity development events based on training tools, advisory and technical support to produce city wide strategy, plans and neighbourhood designs (i.e., planning charrette with stakeholders, plan review support); facilitation of participatory planning process; feedback on planning contents; design and implementation of pilot projects on public spaces and city wide public space strategy.

Justification / Mandate of the Present Evaluation
This evaluation is undertaken at the request of UN-Habitat Management. This evaluation is considered an interim evaluation of the city planning and design strategy and delivery towards the relevant expected accomplishment of the strategic plan. The recent adoption of the SDGs and the adoption of the New Urban Agenda at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in October 2016 also represent important drivers for a review of the strategy and business model currently used by CPEDU.

The forward-looking elements of the evaluation will play an instrumental role in shaping the focus for UN-Habitat in planning, organizing/institutionalizing and implementing future urban planning activities.

Purpose and Objectives of the Evaluation
UN-Habitat is undertaking this evaluation of the city planning and design strategy including the public space programme and urban planning and design lab, to assess to what extent the overall support and services provided since 2012 by the City Planning, Extension and Design Unit are relevant, efficient and effective, and sustainable, and overall all effects/changes projects implemented.

It will inform improvements to delivery in terms of organizational and substantive aspects both at unit and Organization levels, and may also provide inputs for the expected revision of the strategic plan.

The evaluation is as part of UN-Habitat’s efforts to perform systematic and timely evaluations and ensure that UN-Habitat evaluations provide full representation of its mandate and activities, including sub-programmes, and work at Headquarters, regional and country levels.

Scope of the Evaluation and Sampling
The evaluation is expected to assess achievement, challenges and opportunities from the planning to the implementation of the city planning and design strategy through an interim programme evaluation.

The focus is on the city planning and design strategy and related urban planning lab and public space programme under the purview of the CPEDU, and assessing both completed and ongoing activities implemented since the creation of the Unit in 2012 up to 2016.

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a dynamic, international non-governmental organization. We work to reduce violence and protect civilians in countries affected by violent conflict and its aftermath. NP implements programming through the deployment of civilian protection teams to the field.

South Sudan’s civil war has forced 2.27 million people to flee their homes and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. The people of South Sudan are facing a humanitarian emergency and are in the midst of a conflict that is often described first and foremost as a protection crisis. In addition, the space for a free press and civil society organizations to work has shrunk due to protection issues.

NP is continuing to scale up to meet the growing needs. In South Sudan, NP has a Civic Engagement team dedicated to working with civil society actors and organizations to identify protection issues as well as with journalists to encourage on the job safety and security. Programming is founded on unarmed civilian protection and is thematically focused on protection in displacement, gender based violence protection and inter-communal violence reduction.

We are looking for experienced protection officers to implement community-based violence reduction and prevention programming in South Sudan, in the context of an on-going civil conflict and extremely high levels of displacement. You will be a person with a genuine commitment to working at the community level to promote human rights; someone who is skilled at building trusting relationships in an extremely polarized political climate. You are someone who is not deterred by the complexity of conflict; you are able to analyze conflict dynamics; you are motivated and unendingly persistent in finding and implementing protection and prevention strategies. You will be responsible for working together with other international and national colleagues to directly implement the project and to participate in reporting and documentation. You are comfortable living and working in a physically demanding environment, living full-time in a shared compound environment while enjoying a simple diet.

The successful candidate combines creativity, innovation and demonstrated knowledge of protection, conflict prevention and peace building. S/he is experienced in human rights endeavors, journalism or free press advocacy, or civil society projects; skilled at converting protection, violence reduction and conflict analysis theory into practical, locally appropriate solutions that effectively increases safety and security of civilians affected by violent conflict. S/he has excellent interpersonal skills and flair for connecting and building trust with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. S/he is solutions focused, strategic and is driven by a keen interest and personal commitment to civilian protection.

Combined baseline evaluation: Katika Usalama Tunategemeana: A Community-Owned Approach to Promoting Moderate Voices and Preventing Violent Extremism in Tanga (CTU)

AND
Pamoja! Strengthening Community Resilience to Violent Extremism (DRL) },

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.

The Projects

SFCG seeks an external consultant to conduct a combined baseline for the following two projects: 1) Katika Usalama Tunategemeana: A Community-Owned Approach to Promoting Moderate Voices and Preventing Violent Extremism in Tanga (CTU) and 2) Pamoja! Strengthening Community Resilience to Violent Extremism (DRL).

Project 1: Katika Usalama Tunategemeana: A Community-Owned Approach to Promoting Moderate Voices and Preventing Violent Extremism in Tanga (CTU)

While the issue of violent extremism (VE) is relatively nascent in Tanzania, over the past three years, Tanga has gradually become a hotbed for radicalism in the country. Due to this geographical proximity with Islamist logistical hubs of the Arab gulf, there has been a growing influence of conservative strands of Islam in the area. In addition, Kenyan Police and army’s raids on radical mosques in Mombasa have forced some Islamists to settle in bordering Tanzania. In this context, Tanga is experiencing an increase in active recruitment, terrorist transit and violent activity. The government has responded to these risks through a counterterrorism approach articulated by the National Counterterrorism Center, which has spearheaded initiatives such as community policing efforts to encourage community resilience to VE. However, these initiatives have been undertaken with mixed results, lacking inputs from civil society and affected communities.

To respond to this situation, Search for Common Ground (SFCG) and the Tanga Youth Development Association (TAYODEA), with funding from U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism (CTU), will implement a 24 month project based on the theory of change that if space to constructively dialogue and engage on issues of VE is opened, if community stakeholders are better equipped to recognize and understand the risks of VE and have the opportunities to collaboratively address these risks, and if credible and constructive narratives are amplified, especially among youth, then marginalization of vulnerable populations will be reduced, inclusive participation and self-agency will be increased and alternatives to violent action and division will be promoted, reducing the risk of radicalization, recruitment and violent action and preventing the threat of VE in Tanga.[1]

The overall project goal is to empower communities to prevent VE in Tanga. This goal is supported by three specific objectives:

· Obj. 1: To increase the space for engagement of diverse community stakeholders in community-level dialogue around issues of VE.

· Obj. 2: To share strategies and skills for community residents to counter recruitment narratives and other pull factors.

· Obj. 3: To promote community-owned and -led initiatives to prevent VE.

Project 2: Pamoja! Strengthening Community Resilience to Violent Extremism (DRL)

Tanzania holds a reputation for peace and stability. However, the country has experienced an increase in violent Islamist-related activity and religious intolerance in the past few years, putting it at risk of becoming a new center for violent extremism in the region. Recognizing this risk, and also the opportunity to empower youth and local leaders to address key drivers of violent extremism, SFCG, with funding from the US Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), will implement a 21-month project with community empowerment and interfaith dialogue at its core.

The project is based on the theory of change that if populations vulnerable to extremism in at-risk areas, especially young men and women, have the skills and opportunities to participate and constructively engage within their communities, if local leaders, including religious leaders, are better equipped to recognize the risk of violent extremism and include marginalized groups, and if credible and constructive narratives are amplified, then marginalization of vulnerable populations will be reduced, inclusive participation and self-agency will be increased and alternatives to violent action and division will be promoted, reducing the risk of radicalization, recruitment and violent action and preventing the threat of violent extremism.

The overall goal of the project is to strengthen community resilience to key drivers of violent extremism in at-risk areas. It pursues two objectives and four results.

· O1: To promote participation and inclusion of populations vulnerable to extremism, especially young men and women.

· O2: To foster interfaith collaboration and social cohesion.

2. Objectives of Study

SFCG seeks a consultant to conduct a baseline study for this project. The objectives of the study are as follows:

1. Further analyze the current context, especially with regards to drivers and risk factors of VE in the target areas;

2. Assess the project Objectives, Indicators and Theory of Change (TOC);

3. Conduct a risk assessment in order to ensure “Do No Harm” and conflict sensitivity are respected in the project.

3. Geographic Locations

Katika Usalama Tunategemeana: A Community-Owned Approach to Promoting Moderate Voices and Preventing Violent Extremism in Tanga (CTU): Tanga, Tanzania.

Pamoja! Strengthening Community Resilience to Violent Extremism (DRL): Zanzibar, Tanga, Arusha, and Dar es Salaam.

4. Baseline Questions

The external consultant will be asked to finalize study questions, specifically seeking to identify the following in target communities:

Contextual assessment

· What long-term and recent developments have affected conflict dynamics and VE?

· What is the state of CVE/PVE work regionally and nationally? What are the current approaches being taken? What are the gaps and opportunities? (This should build on the current literature review that SFCG has developed.)

· What are the key drivers and triggers of extremism and recruitment? What unifiers and dividers shape VE dynamics in communities?

· How do these existing dynamics and conflicts affect VE?

Processes Supporting and Protecting Against Radicalization

· How is VE/radicalization understood in the communities of intervention?

· Do people talk about VE? Who, and where do they talk about it?

· Who influences/plays a role in VE? Who influences/plays a role in CVE?

· Who is most vulnerable to VE?

· What are the key narratives driving VE/radicalization?

· What are the key positive narratives (CVE) that resonate with communities?

Community assessment

· What are the capacities of local leaders and organizations currently to work with communities to counter violent extremism and radicalization?

Theory of Change and program design

· Considering the current status of project indicators, objectives and theory of change, are there recommendations for adaptations to improve the potential impact of the projects?

Risk Assessment

· What are the contextual and project-related risks that require monitoring?

· What can the project do to assure it is conflict sensitive and respects “Do No Harm” principles?

5. Methodology

The baseline will apply a mixed methods approach consisting of a literature and document review, quantitative survey, as well as qualitative methods (Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs)). The consultant will be responsible for conducting the literature review, designing the final methodology, developing tools, training of enumerators, data analysis, and drafting of the report.

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.

The Project

Ongoing uncertainty and instability in South Sudan underscores the fragile justice system that has thus far failed to provide effective legal remedies to the most vulnerable segments of South Sudan’s population, particularly women and youth in marginalized rural communities across the country. Compounding the supply-side challenges to the establishment of a vibrant and healthy justice system is the lack of capacity amongst rule of law actors to effectively carry out their duties in a manner that respects human rights and the needs of citizens. Additionally, the absence of information, trust, and confidence in the justice sector has limited the ability of the citizenry to demand effective legal remedies, and a lack of capacity in civil society has hindered their ability to fill the critical gaps in the current justice system, placing the responsibility in the hands of limited interventions by international actors.

To address these issues, the Access Partnership Consortium (APC), consisting of Search for Common Ground (SFCG), in partnership with the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) and the Initiative for Peace Communication Association (IPCA), is proposing a two year project with the following overall goal: To improve access to justice services that provide legal remedies to rural and marginalized citizens in five South Sudanese counties.

This overall goal will be achieved through a three-pronged approach that will: (1) increase demand for effective justice services, (2) improve supply of quality legal remedies for the most marginalized populations, and (3) produce community-rooted research leading to policy reform to ensure nationwide impact.

The project’s theory of change is:

If marginalized citizens have increased access to an improved justice sector, and this access is complemented by interconnected media and civil society support, then the foundation will be laid for a more functional and equitable justice sector, and improved peaceful coexistence at the community level.

The project has three activity streams:

Activity Stream 1: Improved demand for legitimate and effective justice mechanisms that address the needs of the most vulnerable populations.

Objective 1: Citizens are aware of their legal rights and duties.

· Result 1: The APC generates an increased demand for legitimate justice services through increased community knowledge of and familiarity with their legal and human rights and the judicial system.

· Activities: Radio magazine and drama production; participatory theater and community dialogue forums; public info campaign; and justice newsletter.

Objective 2: Citizens, including indigent individuals accused of serious crimes, are provided with legal aid.

· Result 2: Legal aid clinics, advocates, and paralegals have increased capacity to offer pro-bono legal aid services increasing citizen access to legal aid services.

· Activities: Legal aid clinics and the provision of pro-bono legal aid services; assessment of mobile and special courts; support to legal aid advocacy and paralegals; assessment of the referral system; and legal education.

Objective 3: CSOs more effectively facilitating access to justice, with an eye towards project sustainability.

· Result 3: Increased program sustainability through improved capacity and increased engagement in justice system activities by target CSOs.

· Activities: CSO capacity building; technical trainings; and rural justice fund.

Activity Stream 2: Improved supply of quality legal remedies that meet the unique needs and rights of marginalized populations.

Objective 4: Rule of law actors, including police, prosecutors, and prisons, are provided with increased support to carry out their core functions.

· Result 4: Increased trust in rule of law actors through improvement in their ability to carry out their duties in line with human rights standards.

· Activities: Police and prison officer trainings; training curriculum; prosecutor trainings; gender accountability modules; rule of law actor coordination forums; and an assessment of future law activities.

Objective 5: Justice service providers, including customary law courts and statutory courts, are providing citizens (including women and youth) with effective legal remedies.

· Result 5: Improvement in the performance of local justice providers -particularly with regards to the needs of women and youth- leading to increased engagement with justice mechanisms.

· Activities: Statutory and customary law trainings; mentoring program for justice actors; provision of legal resources; community legal meetings.

Activity Stream 3: Community-rooted research leading to policy reform.

Objective 6: Develop a law and policy package on legal aid.

· Result 6: Increased capacity of the Directorate of Legal Aid and Human Rights to execute its functions related to legal aid provisions.

· Activities: Legal expert to support Directorate; assessment of barriers to access to justice; support to grassroots legal aid efforts.

Objective 7: Local and national level policy makers and donors have access to knowledge gained from research on rural justice issues and project implementation to strengthen reforms to legislative and policy framework.

· Result 7: Increased access to authentic information to improve access to justice.

· Activity: Justice and conflict research; integrated research

2. Objectives of Study

SFCG seeks a consultant to conduct a baseline study for this project. The objectives of the study are as follows:

1. Investigate the intersection between justice and conflict in South Sudan (and relevant gaps and opportunities)

2. Conduct a needs assessment to determine the capacities of the following groups in supporting access to justice:

3. Justice sector

4. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs)

5. Police and prison officers

6. Assess the project Objectives, Indicators and Theory of Change (TOC), and potential to carry out Objectives 4-7 in the scope of the project.

7. Conduct a risk assessment in order to ensure “Do No Harm” and conflict sensitivity are respected in the project.

3. Geographic Locations

Together, the donor and implementing partners will determine the five project locations based on a set of criteria including preexisting APC presence, previous experience with INL programming, ongoing access to justice interventions, need for project activities, potential for sustainability, marginalization, and potential for access (conflict and security). Special consideration will be given to Protection of Civilians sites (PoCs), such as in UN House and Bor, where displaced populations oftentimes lack access to fair and unbiased justice mechanisms.

The baseline will be used to determine final project locations. Potential locations include[1]:

• Juba County
• Bor
• Mingkaman
• Torit
• Rumbek
• Nimule

The baseline will be conducted in three of the five locations selected for the project (depending on the budget). Of these three there must be urban and rural population representation.

4. Baseline Questions

The evaluation questions will be developed by the external consultant on the basis of the questions below, specifically seeking to identify the following in target communities:

Conflict and Justice Contextual Assessment

• What long-term and recent developments have affected conflict dynamics and access to justice?
• What is the state of work supporting ‘access to justice’ in South Sudan? What are the current approaches being taken? What are the gaps (and entry points to address them) and opportunities for improved systemic response?
• What are the key drivers and triggers of conflict? What unifiers and dividers shape conflict?
• How do existing conflicts affect access to justice?
• What does ‘peaceful coexistence’ mean to citizens?
• What mechanisms currently support peaceful coexistence?

Assessing Access to Justice

• How do citizens define and understand access to justice?
• Which citizens/demographic groups experience marginalization in communities, and does it affect their access to justice? What are the barriers to accessing to justice?

• Capacities and Service Provision

• What are the capacities of the justice sector in providing services to all?

• What role do the media, civil society, and security sectors play in the delivery of justice, and what are their capacities in supporting access to justice? Assess the current reach and relevance of media and civil society justice campaigns or programs.

• To what extent do media, civil society, and justice sectors coordinate to improve and expand justice services?

Theory of Change and Program Design

• Considering the current status of project indicators, objectives and theory of change, are there recommendations for adaptations to improve the potential impact of the project?

Risk Assessment

• What are the contextual and project-related risks that require monitoring throughout the project?
• What can the project do to assure it is conflict sensitive and respects “Do No Harm” principles?

5. Methodology

The baseline will apply a mixed-methods approach consisting of a literature review[2], quantitative survey, as well as qualitative methods (Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs)). The consultant will be responsible for finalizing the literature review, designing the final methodology, developing tools, training of enumerators, data analysis, and drafting of the report. The Project Team will review all tools as well as collect qualitative data in at least three locations (in consultation and coordination with the consultant). The baseline/needs assessment will include questions developed with the South Sudan Law Society and other entities to look at the intersection of justice and conflict in the country.

Title of the Consultancy :

Concept Note development

Handicap International Program :

Ethiopia

Time of the mission :

10 days

Place of the mission :

Ethiopia

Federation Handicap International (HI) is an independent and impartial international aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, our action and testimony are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights. HI is a not-for-profit organization with no religious or political affiliation. It operates as a federation made up of a network of associations that provide it with human and financial resources, manage its projects and implement its actions and social mission.

1-Presentationof the context**

In 2015/16 Ethiopia has faced its worst drought in decades. This situation is due to the El Nino phenomenon which has significantly impacted weather patterns, limiting agricultural production, straining livelihoods and exacerbating food insecurity among poor and vulnerable households. As El Nino progresses into 2016, Ethiopia is likely to experience both prolonged drought and intense flooding that will further deteriorate the food security and socio-economic status of the poorest families.

In March 2016, 10.2 million people are in need of food assistance, compared to 2.9 million in the beginning of 2015. Poor households in the most affected areas (southern Afar and Sitti zone in Somali region, in East and West Hararghe zones in Oromia, and in Wag Hemra and North Wollo in Amhara region) are expected to remain in Emergency (IPC Phase 4 ) until September. Over 75% of mehercropping production has been lost, one million livestock have died, and over 1.7 million are reportedly at risk due to poor body conditions. Mehercropping represents 90% of the country’s total grain production, which accounts for 80% of Ethiopian agriculture. Over 18 million people are expected to be in need of humanitarian assistance in 2016 (OCHA 2016). Some schools and health facilities have closed due to lack of water, and school attendance rates had fallen because children were required to help move livestock to pasture and distant water. Another issue foreseen would be forced migration. Male members of the households might go to urban areas to find daily work on building sites, leaving their wives and young children at home in quite a vulnerable situation. Also, people’s coping mechanisms regularly involve the selling of vital assets – agricultural tools, seeds and livestock, which can have negative impact on their lives and recovery. The situation is compounded by rising food prices.
