Directement rattaché(e) à la Direction de l’Action d’Urgence de Handicap International France, l’expatrié(e) sera mandaté(e) pour la mission suivante :

CONTEXTE DE LA MISSION

Suite à la chute du Président Kadhafi en Libye un ensemble d’hommes armés sont retournés dans leur pays d’origine (Mali, Mauritanie, Niger…) en emportant avec eux des armes, des munitions et des véhicules. Cet afflux d’homme armés au nord du Mali a ravivé un ensemble de tensions nationales et pro-indépendantistes au nord du Mali. Profitant d’un coup d’état à Bamako le 22 mars 2012, les pro-indépendantistes (le MNLA en lien avec des groupes islamiques) ont profité de cette occasion pour occuper les grandes villes dans la moitié nord du pays. Au Nord, divers groupes armés, actifs depuis janvier 2012, avaient pris le contrôle des principales villes: Kidal, Gao et Tombouctou.

Les différents combats et la mise en place de la charia dans ces zones du Mali ont contraint près de trois cent mille personnes à quitter la zone et à chercher refuge soit à l'intérieur du Mali, soit dans les pays voisins (essentiellement Burkina Faso, Mauritanie et Niger).

Les déplacés internes ont été, pour la plupart, hébergés et accueillis par des familles hôtes déjà en situation de vulnérabilité et de précarité notamment liée à la sècheresse de 2012 qui a frappé toute la région du Sahel. Les populations restées au Nord ont subi une très forte restriction de liberté avec l’application de la Charia, diverses exactions envers les civils, l’effondrement des systèmes éducatifs, de santé, et souffrent de l’absence de services de l’Etat dans tous les domaines.

La situation militaire a pris une nouvelle dimension le 10 janvier 2013 avec la prise de la ville de Konna par les groupes islamistes, déclenchant l’intervention de la France et le déploiement simultané de la Mission Internationale de Soutien au Mali (MISMA).

Aujourd’hui, toutes les villes du nord sont sous contrôle de l’armée malienne soutenue par l’armée française et la MINUSMA (Mission Intégrée des Nations Unies pour la Stabilisation au Mali – organe qui a remplacé la MISMA le 1er juillet 2013) mais la situation reste très précaire et instable. Les combats perdurent en milieu rural et les groupes islamistes ont adopté une logique de guérilla.

Enfin, le processus électoral, clôt le 15 décembre 2013, a vu l’élection d’Ibrahim Boubacar Kéïta (dit IBK) à la tête de l’état et son parti politique ainsi que les partis alliés arrivés majoritaires à l’Assemblée Nationale. Ces élections scellent le retour à un ordre constitutionnel.

Néanmoins, les événements survenus en mai 2014 et caractérisés par la prise de plusieurs villes par les Groupes et Organisations Armées complexifient davantage la recherche d’une solution négociée à la crise malienne.

Les conséquences humanitaires de la situation qui prévaut depuis le début de l’année 2013 sont importantes avec l’amplification par la crise de vulnérabilités existantes ou provoquées par à celle-ci :

• Perte des repères intracommunautaires ;
• Stigmatisation intercommunautaires ;
• Traumatismes dus à la période d’occupation ou au déplacement ;
• Décapitalisation des ménages ;
• Destruction ou manque d’entretien des infrastructures publiques ;
• Destruction ou manque d’entretien de l’habitat ;
• Arrêt des structures de l’Etat au Nord du pays.
• Insécurité alimentaire chronique accrue par la crise.

HI au Mali :

Handicap International est présent au Mali depuis 20 ans principalement sur des activités de développement dans le sud, dans le District de Bamako et dans le nord du pays (dans les régions de Gao et de Tombouctou) : promotion des droits des personnes handicapées, renforcement de la société civile, accès à l'éducation pour les enfants handicapées, insertion professionnelle des personnes handicapées, détection et prise en charge des déficiences chez les enfants, etc.

Présent dans la région de Tombouctou depuis 16 ans, HI a maintenu son assistance aux populations vulnérables malgré l’insécurité qui perdure dans la région ces dernières années. Depuis juin 2012, HI met en place des opérations humanitaires auprès des populations du Nord, dans la région de Tombouctou : distributions d'aide alimentaire, distribution d'intrants agricoles pour les agriculteurs exploitants de petites surfaces, transferts monétaires, réhabilitation de puits appui psychosocial

Country: Zambia
Closing date: 12 Dec 2014

In April 2013, the Government of Zambia launched the National Food and Nutrition Strategic Plan (NFNSP) 2011-2015. Within the NFNSP, the prevention of stunting by focusing on the First 1000 Most Critical Days of life (MCD) is the first strategic priority. To this end, a First 1000 Most Critical Days Programme (MCDP) has been developed by the NFNC and collaborating partners.

The Scaling-Up Nutrition (SUN) Fund is a joint financing mechanism established to support the Zambian National First 1000 Most Critical Days Programme. CARE and its partners, Concern Worldwide and the Nutrition Association of Zambia, are the management agent for the SUN Fund, supporting the NFNC and key line ministries (Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Ministry of Local Government and Housing and Ministry of Education) to implement the First 1000 Most Critical days Programme.

Much of the work supported by the SUN Fund focuses on increasing capacity to provide nutrition services in the 14 priority districts, primarily through support to National and District level Government Line Ministries. The SUN Fund is promoting the scaling up of 14 Priority Interventions (see Annex 1). Each line ministry has lead responsibility for 1 or more of the priority interventions; most fall under MCDMCH but others fall under other Ministries e.g. water and sanitation (MLGH) or diversified foods/diet (MAL).

Each of the PIs has an ideal ‘pathway’ for implementation and will illustrate how interventions and service providers are linked to the household, mother and child. The formal government systems/staff/resources go as far as the district or to the health centres, but in general the formal systems do not reach far into the communities, especially in remote areas. Sun Fund has been supporting the supply side resources, through GRZ and others, but also needs to engage communities on the ‘demand’ side of the pathway. In order to do this, each ministry will need a community mobilization and engagement strategy, which builds on the district plan and maximises existing structures and optimises resources including time spent by volunteers.

Purpose of the Consultancy: To develop a community mobilization and engagement strategy for the SUN Fund that supports the Line Ministries to implement the priority interventions and reach as far and deep as possible into the communities to the target groups (including but not limited to: pregnant and lactating mothers, children under 2 and adolescent girls) .

Annex 1

1. Iron & folic acid supplementation
2. Micronutrient powders (building on current pilots)
3. Multiple micronutrients (pilot first)
4. Promotion of Breastfeeding (Early initiation, Exclusive Breastfeeding and continued breastfeeding )
5. Promotion of Complementary Feeding
6. Promotion of Diverse Diets for pregnant and lactating mothers
7. Zinc provision during diarrhoea
8. Promotion of safe water and hygiene and sanitation
9. Growth monitoring and promotion (facility and community)
10. Vitamin A supplementation
11. Deworming
12. Expanding Integrated management of acute malnutrition
13. Promotion of increased availability of diverse locally available and processed foods (with focus on women’s empowerment)
14. Nutritional sensitive messages in cash transfers & other programmes

Organization: Inter Aide
Country: Malawi
Closing date: 12 Dec 2014

Founded in 1980, Inter Aide is a humanitarian organisation that specialises in the implementation of development programs that aim to promote access for the most vulnerable to development. The programs respond to specific, vital needs of local communities. Our principal objective is to reinforce the capacities of vulnerable populations to allow them to improve the living conditions in their communities.

Inter Aide currently implements programs in 6 countries in Africa (Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar and Sierra Leone) and the Caribbean (Haiti). Our interventions cover several fields of rural development: water and sanitation (including services for the maintenance of water points), agriculture and support to farmers organisations, community health (including the reduction of child mortality, sexual and reproductive health), and primary education.

As a management principle Inter Aide delegates most of the responsibilities to the Program Managers (PM) based in the field, and as far as possible to local partners. They are both in charge of the implementation of the activities as well as the human resources management and all the financial and administrative tasks.

Although the Program Managers are responsible for the management of their programs, Inter Aide has identified three key areas where additional support is required at country level:

· Internal audit procedures need to be implemented at country level to ensure that funds and resources are being used appropriately. Thus Inter Aide is interested in developing a process for “internal project certification” that would set the standard for internal processes and procedures. The certification process should be participatory on every project but external support is required.

· Administrative tasksrelated to labour law (e.g. application of a new pension scheme), visas, insurance, imports, project procedures, etc. These tasks are already handled by the Finance and Administrative Manager at the Inter Aide Support Office in Lilongwe. However, with the current development of our activities in Malawi, we believe that strengthening our administrative set up would allow us to speed up the extension of our activities as well as secure our present programs.

· Identification of partners -Inter Aide needs to be more pro-active in identifying potential local funding and partnership with international institutions and local stakeholders in Lilongwe and Blantyre. This task remains difficult for the Program Managers who are not based in Lilongwe, where the majority of development stakeholders are located.

To meet those needs, Inter Aide is looking for a Senior Advisor for Administration, Auditing & Partnerships. This individual is expected to achieve the following outcomes within one year are:

· The Program Managers and local partners are guided to set-up, revise and apply internal procedures on their respective projects.

· A service of “internal project certification” is designed and implemented.

· The local capacities of Inter Aide for fundraising and partnership increase, leading to additional resources for the programs.

· The capacity of the finance and administrative manager in charge of the Inter Aide Support Office at Lilongwe are strengthened.

Responsibilities

1. Develop a service of “internal project certification” (about 1/3 of the working time):

· Compile internal procedures (e.g. for procurement, human resources, stores management, etc) and support project staff to revise them when needed. 2. Design and test a field audit for internal project certification.Identify local funding and partnership opportunities with institutions (private, public, non-governmental, local or international) based in Malawi, start the dialogue and link them to the Area Manager based in France. (about 1/3 of the working time) :

· Identify key persons and organizations to meet (NGOs country directors, politicians, institutions managers …).

· Arrange meetings and discuss partnership opportunities with the Area Manager. 3. Prepare meeting minutes.Support the Finance and Administrative Manager in charge of the Inter Aide Support Office at Lilongwe (about 1/3 of the working time). Among others tasks:

· Support the design of an activity log book to record all the activities performed as a memory of any process.

· Design and update practical fact sheets explaining how to perform each regular administrative task (e.g. “how to get and renew a working visa”, “how to obtain a tax waiver).

· Support the creation and update of a detailed listing of all contacts in Lilongwe and Blantyre that can be key persons for administrative issues.

· Identify any other needs and provide appropriate support.

Skills and experience required

· 5 year university degree in a related field.

· 2 years of relevant experience in procedure design, auditing and/or in administrative and financial management in a similar context.

· Dynamism, rigor and organization.

· Ability to remain calm in frustrating situations.

· Ability to communicate in a multi-cultural environment.

· Ability to work with minimum supervision.

· Ability to listen and to be diplomatic.

· Mobility (regular trip in Central and Southern regions).

· Fluent English is mandatory.

Conditions of employment

Organization: Concern Universal
Country: Gambia
Closing date: 07 Jan 2015

*Location:*Fajara, The Gambia

Responsible to: Country Director, The Gambia/Senegal

Responsible for: Finance and Administration staff

The Role

The Finance and Administration Manager will provide high-quality financial management of all operations and be responsible for financial reporting to Concern Universal's donors and management. This includes ensuring accurate and timely cash management, supporting project staff to prepare and adhere to budgets, ensuring that financial practices meet required standards, and managing external and internal audit processes. In addition, core budget oversight and ensuring that the Country Programme achieves core cost recovery targets is an important aspect of the role.

Based in our main office in Fajara, the Gambia, the post-holder will manage the day-to-day operation of the office and remotely manage other field offices. This involves line managing all finance and support staff; overseeing the effective functioning of all assets; and ensuring that effective operating and governance systems and policies are in place and adhered to.

The role involves working closely with the Country Director to update policies and systems, evaluate and develop staff, conduct recruitment, devise strategic and fundraising plans and support all areas of decision-making.

About Concern Universal

Our vision is a world where justice, dignity and respect prevail for all. Working in partnership, Concern Universal challenges poverty and inequality by supporting practical actions that enable people to improve their lives and shape their own futures. Founded in 1976, we work in 9 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. By working directly with partners and communities to identify real opportunities for lasting and positive change, we facilitate projects that promote resilient livelihoods and better health and uphold rights.

We work in partnership with organisations that share our commitment to accountability and service within a community-based approach: in all our work we aim to maintain a cost-effective, professional and practical approach while also attaining high standards. Concern Universal is responsive to community needs. In each country we target the sectors where we can make the greatest difference. Distinctive country strategies, developed with the participation of partners, communities, and other key stakeholders, emerge from this.

In the Gambia & Senegal, Concern Universal works to promote sustainable livelihoods, particularly in rural areas. This is achieved through interlinked activities including: farmer training, low-cost irrigation technologies, development of market linkages, community and partner capacity building, and disaster risk reduction. This work is implemented in close collaboration with approximately 15 established local NGOs as well as business and government partners.

An impact report conducted by Concern Universal in 2012 identified that as a result of our livelihoods programmes in the Gambia since 2004, 13,000 households (and specifically led by women and youth members) took on horticulture production as a result of our interventions. An annual increase in income of US$2.4million (spread across the 13,000 households) can be attributed to the work of Concern Universal and our partners. As well as highlighting the significant successes of our work, the impact review also identified areas where we need to do better to secure sustainable livelihood improvements.

Concern Universal’s programme in The Gambia and Senegal is funded by multiple donors, including USAID, EU, Big Lottery Fund, Oxfam America and ECOWAS. The majority of the programme funding is project-related with limited untied core resources. It is therefore imperative that a continuous funding base is secured every year, while ensuring compliance with current project grant contracts.

Organization: International Rescue Committee
Country: Central African Republic
Closing date: 03 Feb 2015

Purpose

While the use of cash transfers has increased in the last decade, the frequent assumption in the humanitarian community is that cash transfer programming primarily benefits livelihoods and food security in recovery settings. Consequently, programming and research have been limited with regards to the potential impact cash transfers have on other outcomes such as women and child protection, especially in acute crisis contexts. As a result, there is a lack of appropriate guidance, standards and tools, potentially exposing women and girls to further harm when gender dynamics and vulnerability to violence are not integrated into the design of cash transfer programming.

Furthermore, to date, very little cash transfer programming has been designed and implemented with the explicit intention of achieving reduction in vulnerability to and prevention of GBV. Through the proposed intervention, the IRC aims to contribute to establishing a response to GBV in the intervention sites, to safely restore livelihoods and to prevent and reduce the risk of GBV and negative coping mechanisms. In addition, the IRC commits to informing the wider humanitarian field about the learning gained from the program and what works in a context such as southern Chad to achieve both livelihood and protection outcomes together.

Context

The conflict in the Central African Republic (CAR) started in December 2012, which has led to the exodus of nearly 300,000 people to neighboring countries (Cameroon, Chad, D.R. Congo). The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has been among the first humanitarian partners to step in to assist the Government of Chad (GoC) in providing emergency health and nutrition services in three sites hosting refugees and returnees. The IRC will also provide safety nets for the most vulnerable among this population, in order to mitigate GBV risks linked to the negative impacts of displacement (prostitution, forced and/or early marriage, social exclusion, etc.). The IRC also seeks to generate learning and guidelines on cash transfers and links to GBV protection/prevention activities which would fill a current gap in best-practice guidelines.

Key Research Questions

• How do cash transfers influence women's perception of their own protection, risk of GBV and coping mechanisms utilized?
• How do cash/in-kind grants to initiate income generating activities influence women's perception of their own protection, risk of GBV and coping mechanisms utilized?

Design & Methodology

The IRC plans for a mixed methods pre-post test learning component, along with robust monitoring, to answer the above key research questions. The methodology will include the below steps but will need to be refined by Consultant:

Step 1: Conduct a rapid but thorough literature review on cash programming and protection/GBV.

Step 2: Conduct formative qualitative inquiry through key stakeholder interviews with humanitarian stakeholders, women's groups, relevant ministries and local NGO actors in southern Chad to provide contextual knowledge on economic vulnerability and GBV risks for the target community.

Step 3: Define a theory of change and develop key indicators as part of the project monitoring design which is to be used throughout the implementation of the program (led by WPE program team). Finalise research protocol, including sample size and methodologies.

Step 4: Conduct pre- and post-tests focusing on existing economic vulnerability, livelihoods, coping strategies and GBV risks with a random sample of program participants.

.

*Note that this research protocol is to be refined by the consultant. The research protocol will be drafted for the full two year program. However, the expected deliverables will only include data collection and report writing for Year 1 as Year 2 implementation is dependent on renewal of funding.

Ethical Considerations

As for any project involving collecting data from human participants, the consultant is expected to uphold the IRC's standard ethical procedures regarding the use and storage of data collected from project participants. All primary data collected should already have been coded anonymously when submitted by field staff, so the report itself is not expected to include any information that could be attributed to specific participants. The project is to follow guidelines from the WHO Putting women first: ethical and safety recommendations and submit the protocol to appropriate review boards as identified by the IRC.

Duration of the Consultancy

The start date will depend on the earliest availability of the consultant to conduct the pre-arrival literature review, research design, and ethical documents. All in-country training of data collection staff and data collection would occur by Dec 31, 2014 for the pre-test. It is expected that the in-country portion of the work will not be more than 40 days (across two separate trips), although this number is flexible and will be based on the consultant's proposed workplan. A proposed schedule is listed below, though is dependent on the consultant's needs and availability. A draft workplan and research design must be signed off by the IRC prior to the purchase of the plane ticket to South Sudan. The total days for Year 1 consultancy is 60 days.
