We strive for gender equality, inclusion and diversity, providing fair and equal opportunities for all. We take a zero tolerance approach to corruption and stay true to local labour laws and all local statutory requirements.
In operation since 2006, today we are honoured to serve clients in 15 fragile and conflict-affected states assisting with disaster relief, peace building, humanitarian aid and development programmes through our specialised recruitment, HR management and operational services.
Overview of position
Background Information:
Somalia is amid major new political and security developments that will offer a greater possibility for peace and security than the country has seen in over 20 years.  Across the country, security is gradually improving and economic activity is slowly restarting. The presence of the State on the territory is being re-established in the context of a three-tiered federal system which includes the FGS, Federal Member States (FMS) and district level administration. With the support of the international community, Somalia will continue to develop modernized institutions, with the aim of restoring services. The revised Aid architecture builds upon the coordination architecture that was established to support the coordination and implementation of the New Deal Compact previous New Deal Compact architecture. The government is currently carrying out a series of processes towards which they would like external aid to align and which may affect the structure of the Somali aid architecture. On one hand consultations are being conducted to prepare a revised National Development Plan (NDP 9) which will also act as an iPRSP for the period 2020-2024. On the other hand the government, through an effective internal coordination mechanism, has recently finalized four roadmaps which identify a wide set of priorities and propose milestones and activities in the areas of Inclusive Politics, Economic Development, Security & Justice, and Social Development. The government is also committed to the New Partnership for Somalia (NPS), agreed in London in May 2017, which includes a Mutual Accountability Framework (MAF) between the Government and the international community.

The NPS and the NDP define aid management arrangements through the Somalia Development and Reconstruction Facility (SDRF) and its constituent pooled funds, administered by the UN, the World Bank, and the African Development Bank. However, the current aid management arrangements and SDRF pooled funds only address approximately 20% of the aid flows into the country, and do not provide detailed policy recommendations on how to manage broader aid flows, which remain off-budget and outside of national oversight mechanisms.

The EU is currently funding the Resilience Programme for Somalia which is based on the objective “to revitalise and expand the Somali economy with a focus on livelihood enhancement, employment generation, and broad-based inclusive growth”, financed from the European Development Fund (EDF). Under this project UNOPS has been requested by the EU to provide support by filling in the identified gaps with flexible tools and mechanisms to implement the NDP/CAS structure by establishing a Partnership Coordination Facility for Somalia. Coordinated efforts are essential in order to transform Somalia into a more resilient, and improved, economic sector with greater security, gender equity, improved human development, stronger infrastructure, and better access to basic services that is delivered by accountable governmental institutions. This transformation is hindered by slow institutions that are unable to respond quickly to emerging needs.

With the rapidly changing landscape, and the roll out of the NP9 approaching, it is envisaged that there will be a huge impact on the coordination of Resilience programming.

1.0 Background

Protracted Conflicts and coupled with natural disasters plus cultural links are the main drivers of population movements through Somaliland. While there is an estimated 2.6 million internally displaced people in Somalia, with approximately half of these living in IDP settlements (in urban areas and host communities); close to 85,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are currently living in Somaliland.

Displacement affected communities in Somaliland continue to live in dire conditions in protracted displacement. For many, prospects for durable solutions remain remote. They are disproportionately at risk of gross abuses of human rights, especially women and unaccompanied children.

Concern Worldwide is implementing a number durable solutions initiatives for IDPs and vulnerable members of the host communities in Somalia. The Somaliland Durable Solutions Consortium project (The Wadajir project) – Enhancing Durable Solutions for and Reintegration of Displacement Affected Communities in Somaliland” is part of the wider durable solutions programme initiatives by Concern WW in the Horn of Africa. The project seeks to create a conducive environment for displacement (or mixed migration) affected communities (DACs) in Somalia to reach a durable solution.

Under the project, Concern WW works towards achieving improved access by DACs to adequate livelihoods through generating income and assets, gainful employment, and managing financial risk as other non-displacement affected communities. The major focus is to support women organise themselves into Self Help Groups for women to promote local savings to enhance access to micro finance. In addition, Youth are supported to acquire basic vocation skills, and are mentored in entrepreneurship and SMEs among others. However, the organised women groups and trained youth have either struggled to implement their business plans and or to grow them into viable business enterprises. Given their displacement situation, access to finance has been a very big challenge. This is partly because they do not have the collateral neither strong social networks to guarantee links to financial inclusion and to markets. This has greatly undermined opportunities for local economic integration and ultimately to achieving durable solutions.

  1. Purpose of the Consultancy
