Que faisons-nous en Haïti?

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL (SI) est intervenue auprès des victimes du séisme dès janvier 2010 dans les sites de déplacés de la capitale. Pour sortir progressivement de la logique d’urgence, SI a entrepris, à partir de septembre 2010, d’accompagner les populations vers un retour dans leurs quartiers et d’améliorer leurs conditions de vie de manière durable.

Grâce à une approche communautaire continue et une volonté de mieux comprendre les besoins de la population, SI a rapidement été convaincue de la nécessité d’appuyer le processus de reconstruction. Afin de prendre le relais des actions humanitaires classiques, nos équipes mènent aujourd’hui, en étroite collaboration avec les autorités haïtiennes, un projet d’aménagement urbain plus complexe et plus ambitieux dans le quartier de Christ Roi.

Nos équipes continuent également de développer des projets de prévention des épidémies et de réponse aux flambées de choléra. Enfin, nos équipes interviennent depuis 2014 dans le domaine de la sécurité alimentaire dans le département du Sud-Est.

Compte tenu de la période de transition dans laquelle le pays évolue (urgence puis post urgence puis développement) le cadre stratégique pour l’année 2016 s’oriente sur :

Serbia: Consultant for develop child-centered, multi-sectoral and multi-hazard DRR/resilience strategy in the Republic of Serbia

Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Serbia
Closing date: 06 Jun 2016

Background:

Disasters negatively impact children and women’s rights. They exacerbate already existing vulnerabilities and inequities. As disasters are a function of hazard, vulnerability and capacity, they are both a humanitarian and a development concern. W

The Republic of Serbia has, in the past years, since the adoption of the “Hyogo Framework for Actions onwards” shown its commitment to the disaster risk reduction policy and has made significant steps in terms of development and strengthening the institutional capacities and legal framework for the disaster risk reduction both at the national and the local level. However, the 2014 floods in the Republic of Serbia have made evident a number of vulnerabilities of the Serbian population and economy that in view of climate change, deserve special attention and require the reduction of disaster risks.

Looking into the future, Serbia needs to consider the occurrence of disasters as an opportunity to solve longstanding deficiencies and the recovery and reconstruction programmes should be viewed as an integral part of the socio-economic development plans. In that respect, issues such as identification and reduction of risks should be made part of the development agenda, since they negatively affect the most vulnerable groups (the poor, the lower income, people with disabilities, women, Roma population, etc…).

With a mandate combining humanitarian relief with long-term development objectives, UNICEF recognises its crucial responsibility to integrated DRR across its work. The UNICEF country office in Serbia places a particular emphasis on strengthening the emergency preparedness and response readiness as well as the mainstreaming of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) throughout the programmes in its 2016-2020 country programme document.

Purpose of the assignment:

UNICEF is seeking to develop its child-centered, multi-sectoral and multi-hazard DRR/resilience strategy in the Republic of Serbia to guide its support to the Government of the Republic of Serbia in the areas of health, education, child protection and social welfare.

Haiti: Consultant - Elaboration of an emergency response mechanism for the national social safety net

$
0
0
Organization: World Food Programme
Country: Haiti
Closing date: 12 Jun 2016

Background

The Kore Lavi Program aims to reduce food insecurity and vulnerability by supporting the Government of Haiti in establishing a replicable safety net system and expanding capacities to prevent child undernutrition. For this program, CARE and WFP have to develop an emergency response mechanism that can be linked to the safety net to address shocks that have socio-economic impacts in Haiti. A recurring shock that Haiti has been facing over recent years is drought, which has affected some of the poorest areas of the country. Haiti is also regularly facing other natural disasters (e.g. floods, hurricanes) that can have severe consequences on livelihoods. Hence, the need for a robust and flexible mechanism to respond to those shocks.

Objective of the assignment

The main objective of the consultancy is to elaborate an emergency response mechanism to respond to shocks in Haiti. This mechanism is to be an integral part of a food security-oriented national social safety net program targeting the extreme poor.

Scope of work

Desk review (11 days)
The first phase of the consultancy is a desk review that will serve to formulate options for an emergency response mechanism linked to a national social safety net. International experiences and current drought-related emergency response interventions in Haiti will be assessed to determine which options have the best fit for Haiti. Viable options will then be studied in-country in the next phase of the mandate.
During this phase, it is expected that the consultant will:
 Review the Kore Lavi program documentation and other relevant background information on Haiti, including earlier concepts of emergency mechanisms.
 Review documentation on on-going emergency interventions in response to the 2015-2016 drought in Haiti.
 Conduct an extensive review on emergency social safety nets through secondary sources (and primary sources, if the consultant has relevant contacts).
 Devise a set of criteria and weighting scale on which to rate emergency response options. A particular emphasis should be put on options that could build on existing social protection mechanisms for greater cost effectiveness, efficiency, and overall benefits, as well as those that build resilience or lessen the impact of future shocks for the at-risk population.
 Formulate and rate emergency response mechanism options.
 Provide a detailed report of research findings and set of options.

 Present findings to CARE and WFP in person or remotely (via Skype or phone).

In-country consultations (10 days)

The second phase of the consultancy will involve consultations in Haiti with appropriate stakeholders to further refine the analysis of the options presented in the first phase and allow for the selection of a preferred recommendation to be elaborated in detail in the final report.
 CARE and WFP will share a list of the main stakeholders in advance of the arrival of the consultant. It is expected that the consultant will comment on this list and share recommendations of other stakeholders to be consulted, if needed, before arriving in Haiti. CARE and WFP will subsequently propose a timetable and arrange the necessary meetings.
 The consultant will interview stakeholders such as: Kore Lavi Consortium agencies, Haitian Government institutions at both central and departmental levels (Prime Minister’s Office, Ministries of Social Affairs, Health, Directorate of Civil Protection), donors (CIDA, ECHO, USAID), local authorities, community representatives and beneficiaries of past emergency projects as well as the WFP team charged with gathering lessons learned from the current emergency response to the 2015-2016 drought in Haiti.
 On the last day of the in-country consultation, the consultant is to present a summary of the main findings and the preferred emergency response mechanism for discussion with CARE, WFP and the Haitian Government.

Final report and presentation (7 days)
In the last phase of the mandate, the consultant will prepare a final report based on the initial desk review and the in-country consultations.
 The report should narrow down the initial recommendations to the preferred emergency response mechanism for the national social safety net. The report should explain clearly why this option is the best suited and why other options were not retained.
 Importantly, the document should present how the preferred emergency response mechanism is customized to best fit Haiti’s situation. This would include its functionalities, a high-level estimate of the number of beneficiaries that it may realistically cover and the budgetary requirements for the initiative.
 The consultant is to present a draft version of the report to CARE, WFP and the Haitian Government (the presentation can be done in person or remotely via phone or Skype) for a last set of oral and written comments to be integrated in the final version of the report.

Deliverables

The consultant will deliver the following products:
 A detailed report including a) the findings of the research conducted on emergency social safety nets and b) the set of options for emergency response mechanisms selected on the basis of a Haiti-specific criteria and a presentation of this report in person or remotely (via phone or Skype).
 A presentation of the key findings of the in-country consultations and of the preferred option for the emergency response mechanism.

 A final report detailing the option recommended for the emergency response mechanism and a presentation of this report in person or remotely (via phone or Skype).

Duration and location of assignment

The consultancy is expected to be completed in 28 work days (over a maximum of 40 calendar days), which include travel days to Haiti. The mandate is to start following the signature of the contract, ideally by June 20th.
In Haiti, consultations will take place in Port-au-Prince, and possibly in one of the departments where the Kore Lavi program is active, namely the Artibonite, Center, Northwest, Southeast and West. For international consultants that are not based in Haiti, a total of 10 days will be allocated for work in Haiti and for the inbound and outbound travel from the consultant’s place of residence. For the time spent in country, the standard United Nations daily per diem will be allocated.
Academic qualifications and required competencies

Serbia: Consultant- graphic designer for On-line Catalogue of Assistive technologies

Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Serbia
Closing date: 09 Jun 2016

Background:

Inclusive education (IE) has been set as an education policy priority and subsequently incorporated into legislation adopted in Serbia starting from 2009. Implementation of the IE is of key significance for the realization of child and human rights, social inclusion and human capital development. Law on the Foundations of the Education System at all levels of pre-university education guarantees access to all children, ensures the right to education, institutional teaching with additional support and individualized approach.

As a result of the project between the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development and UNICEF Office with support of the Swiss Agency for Cooperation and Development (SDC), the Group for Social Inclusion (GSI) was formed in April 2015 with the goal to ensure continued advancement of early development and inclusive approach at all levels of education in Serbia. Based on analysis of current status for inclusive education, the GSI in cooperation with partners, developed the draft Action Plan for Inclusive Education, as foreseen by the Action Plan for implementation of Strategy for Development of Education until 2020.

One of the priority goals of the AP for IE is creation of inclusive environment for development, learning and participation. Accessibility of assistive technologies to children and students is one of the requirements for meeting this goal. Assistive technology or adaptive technology (AT) is an umbrella term that includes assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and also includes the process used in selecting, locating, and using them. AT promotes greater independence by enabling people to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by providing enhancements to or changed methods of interacting with the technology needed to accomplish such tasks. The provision of AT requires knowledgeable professionals on AT and its functions. However in Serbia there are no many teachers and professionals fairly familiar with AT. Furthermore, there is no comprehensive tool that would provide easily accessible information and characteristics on AT to teachers, professionals, parents, education institutions, ISCs and other interested stakeholders. In order to enable accessibility of and dissemination of knowledge on AT, UNICEF and MoESTD, shall support development of the On-line Catalogue of Assistive Technologies (AT). Main goal of the on-line catalogue is to provide access to information to all stakeholders (parents, education institutions, inter-sectoral committees etc.) on existing AT, their main characteristics, best use, as well as where and how they can be provided.

Purpose of the assignment:

Under the general guidance and direction the UNICEF and MoESTD/ GSI, the incumbent will be responsible to design, develop and release an accessible On-line Catalogue of AT based on the content already developed by the AT Education Expert. The On-line Catalogue meeting the principle of universal design shall be placed on the MoESTD website, GSI page and shall enable different technical possibilities (zooming, automatic slide-show, searching, saving, downloading…). The graphic designer shall work in close cooperation with the consultant for Assistive technologies and follow business requirements for On-line catalogue.

Over 23,000 full-time staff as well as over 12,500 staff working as volunteers ensure quality in areas such as disaster prevention and emergency management, rescue services and social services. Since its foundation in 1888, ASB has stood for continuity and reliability as a politically and denominationally independent federation.

  3. Basic skills training in safe construction practices to ensure all aspects of resilience in terms of (re-) construction of houses and social infrastructure are applied.

  4. Building on ASB past successes, 250 primary schools in the school districts of Fonds des Negres & Leogane will receive disaster preparedness refresher lessons through regular trainings and other extracurricular activities. Additionally, 367 schools in Petit Goave, Grand Goave, Leogane will benefit from either radio programs in schools and/or DRR extra curricular activities.

  5. The establishment of school gardens in 8 selected schools as well as support to 10 previously established school gardens.

Serbia: Individual Contractor to support Education Programme in the area of Early Childhood Education and Care

Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Serbia
Closing date: 19 Jun 2016

Background:

Providing quality education for all is one of the top priorities for UNICEF in Serbia. Our goal is to support the most vulnerable children to realize their full potential through participation in quality and inclusive education from early childhood.

The results of the 2014 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey in Serbia show equity gaps between the general population and vulnerable groups in the education. At the pre-school level, majority of children from vulnerable groups, especially Roma, children in formal care, and those in the poorest households are excluded from early education programmes. The main barriers to provision of universal access to pre-school programmes include lack of physical capacity particularly in rural areas, financial constraints of parents with law socio-economic status, the lack of diversified quality programs that would respond to the needs of children and parents, lack of understanding of the importance of pre-school education for child development. The MICS 5 results show that 50% of parents both from the general population and Roma living in informal settlements find that there is not a need for child to go to the pre-school if there is someone to take care of him/her at home. During the last five years, the number of preschool facilities has increased by about 30%, but this still fails to satisfy the needs of children and families, especially in rural areas and of vulnerable families. Strategic and legal framework in the pre-school education has been improved too, introducing more equitable enrolment policies and mechanisms for quality development, while there are still poor implementation capacities across the country.

In the Republic of Serbia, early childhood education and care (ECEC) and inclusive education (IE) have been set as education policy priorities and subsequently incorporated into legislation adopted within the 2009-2013 period. Their implementation is of key significance for the realization of child and human rights, social inclusion and human capital development. However, implementation capacity has not yet caught up with legislative changes.

UNICEF focus in the area of education at the pre-school level is on system changes for greater results and sustainability. UNICEF works closely with the Ministry of Education and other partners to support the implementation of the inclusion provisions in the area of Early Childhood Education and Care. UNICEF has provided coherent technical assistance and policy advice not only to secure inclusive policy development, but also by demonstrating mechanisms and implementation modalities at national, local and school levels in the area of early learning. UNICEF has been supporting development of enabling legal framework, studies and researches for ensuring pre-school education for all, improvement of data collection and management, implementation of quality standards of the pre-school institutions (capacity building of pre-school teachers, parents, local stakeholders. UNICEF has continued with modelling of new measures in the area of early childhood development, by developing capacities of institutions for the implementation of these measures and partnering with national academic institutions for monitoring of the effects.

In the next period UNICEF will continue to support efforts of different stakeholders toward building more inclusive quality pre-school education.

Purpose of the assignment: Individual Contractor to support implementation of the UNICEF Education Programme in the area of Early Childhood Education and Care - This assignments is expected to contribute to advancing capacities of stakeholders to further develop and implement inclusive and quality early learning policy and practices, in line with the output 1 of the WP Education Programme 2016-2017.

Serbia: Individual Contractor to support Education Programme in the area of inclusive education

Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Serbia
Closing date: 19 Jun 2016

Background:

Providing quality education for all is one of the top priorities for UNICEF in Serbia. Our goal is to support the most vulnerable children to realize their full potential through participation in quality inclusive education.

The results of the 2014 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey in Serbia show equity gaps between the general population and vulnerable groups in the education. At the pre-school level, majority of children from vulnerable groups, especially Roma, children in formal care, and those in the poorest households are excluded from early education programmes. The same trend continues at primary and secondary school levels – primary school enrolment for the general population is 97 per cent, while for Roma it is 69 per cent. The completion rate for the general population is 93 per cent, compared to only 64 per cent for children from Roma settlements. 89 per cent of the secondary-school aged adolescents among the general population attend secondary school, while this is the case for only 22 per cent of adolescents from Roma settlements (only 15 per cent of girls). According to the statistical data – (Republic Statistical Office 2011, DevInfo), the secondary school completion rate is 84 per cent (88 per cent for girls, 81 per cent for boys); it is significantly lower for children from vulnerable groups. Children with disabilities have insufficient support throughout schooling despite the existence of the inclusive education legal framework. Inclusion is hampered by the lack of resources and capacity, as well as by negative attitudes towards the full inclusion of children with disability.

In August of 2009, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development (MoESTD) passed the Law on the Foundations of the Education System that provided the legal framework for an Inclusive Education system. The strategy and action plans for development of education by 2020 have been adopted by the government in 2014 and 2015. However, the implementation mechanisms recommended by these documents need further strengthening. In this regard, capacity and resources allocation for the implementation of the overall strategy and legal provisions present the major area of partnership with UNICEF.Implementation of IE is of key significance for the realization of child and human rights, social inclusion and human capital development.

Through different initiatives including all levels of governance, UNICEF has been advocating for the every child’s right to inclusive quality education. UNICEF has provided coherent technical assistance and policy advice to secure inclusive policy development and to improve education quality, through introduction of new mechanisms for school improvement and demonstrating mechanisms and implementation modalities at national, local and school levels in the area of early learning, inclusive education, drop-out and violence prevention, etc. At the policy level UNICEF supported development of relevant legal framework supporting equal educational opportunities, development of comprehensive framework for monitoring and evaluation of inclusive education in Serbia and institutional development and strengthening for inclusive and quality education - MoESTD. UNICEF supports research initiatives and analytical work aimed to inform policy development. In the next period UNICEF will continue to support efforts of different stakeholders toward building more inclusive education system.

Haiti: Country Manager - Haiti

Organization: Clinton Health Access Initiative
Country: Haiti
Closing date: 09 Jun 2016

Overview:

Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is focused on large scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower pricing agreements for treatment options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with over 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective treatment and care.

CHAI's global malaria program provides management and technical support to countries around the globe to strengthen their malaria programs and reduce the burden of this preventable, treatable disease. We support governments to scale up effective interventions for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance, with the goals of sustainably reducing the number of malaria-related illnesses and deaths worldwide in the short-term and accelerating progress towards malaria elimination in the long term.

CHAI is seeking a Country Manager to be based in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Country Manager will be responsible for providing highly effective day-to-day operational support to the Ministry of Health's malaria program, which is aiming to eliminate malaria from the country by 2020. Past experience with malaria or even health programs is not necessarily required for this position. Instead, we are looking for a fast learner who can think logically and strategically, someone who has the proven ability to work through really hard problems with patience and perseverance, who is extremely organized and detail-oriented, and who can motivate others and help them work more effectively. The position requires a highly motivated individual with proven leadership skills, outstanding analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills, and experience making organizations and/or systems work better. We need someone who can get things done, even under chaotic circumstances.

The successful candidate will lead CHAI's small but dedicated country office and represent us in high level regional and country-level meetings with governments and partners. S/he will closely coordinate with CHAI's regional manager and technical teams to support the execution of high-impact programs designed to eliminate malaria. CHAI is part of a consortium of partners, Malaria Zero, The Alliance for a Malaria-free Haiti, and will work closely with the consortium to design and implement a coordinated strategy for elimination. Though eliminating malaria will bring new and unique challenges every day, typical projects may involve improving logistics, strengthening systems for reporting and analyzing data, and designing programs for targeted and intensive intervention in specific geographical areas. The candidate will manage all operational aspects of the country office, have deep personal commitment to producing results, and be patient and optimistic despite daunting challenges.

Responsibilities:

Programmatic

  • Lead the M&E development and implementation plans of CHAI supported interventions and lead the country team in the preparation of donor reports
  • Develop and manage regular submissions of CHAI's programmatic report to the Haiti Ministry of Planning

  • Develop and manage program budgets in collaboration with program staff
  • Support human resources management, including recruitment and management of existing staff

  • Maintain appropriate bi-directional communication with CHAI Boston to ensure that CHAI's global capabilities are being fully leveraged
  • Coordinate with Boston, Haiti legal counsel and accounting firm to ensure all legally required documentation is prepared and submitted to appropriate authorities
  • Perform other tasks as necessary

Qualifications:

  • Experience conceiving, planning and executing complex programs or projects with verifiable results
