POSITION DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUND

The Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) is the office within USAID that is responsible for providing emergency non-food humanitarian assistance in response to international crises and disasters. OFDA is part of the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA) and is organized into six divisions.

The Africa (AFD) Response Division and the Asia, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East (ALE) Response Division are responsible for the provision of emergency humanitarian assistance through a grants mechanism to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations including United Nations (UN) agencies and to other partners to ensure the implementation and delivery of this assistance. These divisions also oversee OFDA s non-response efforts in disaster risk reduction and resilience. AFD and ALE Response Divisions also coordinate with other organizations for the provision of relief supplies and assistance. They devise, coordinate and implement program strategies for a variety of natural and complex disaster situations. Both Divisions encompass groups of operations specialists who provide technical expert capability in assessing the quality and strategic function of disaster response and risk reduction activities. The AFD Response Division is divided into two teams: East and Central Africa (ECA), and Southern, West, and North Africa (SWAN). The ALE Response Division is divided into four teams: East Asia and the Pacific (EAP), Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia (EMCA), Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and South Asia.

The Operations (OPS) Division develops and manages operations for OFDA s disaster responses by readying people and systems; projecting U.S. Government (USG) humanitarian capacity quickly into the field; and delivering material and technical assistance. The OPS Division maintains readiness to respond to emergencies through several mechanisms, including managing Urban Search and Rescue Teams, coordinating, staffing, training, and equipping Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs), and Washington-based Response Management Teams (RMTs), and stockpiling emergency relief commodities in key locations around the globe to ensure OFDA s capacity to execute and coordinate USG humanitarian assistance and response to natural disasters and complex emergencies. The OPS Division provides technical guidance and expertise in Disaster Logistics, Urban Search and Rescue, Operations Center management, activation/readiness, Civil-Military Liaison, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive Consequence Management. It also provides overseas support to OFDA offices and personnel and to other sectors necessary to ensure OFDA s capacity to execute and coordinate USG humanitarian assistance and response to natural disasters and complex emergencies. The OPS Division is divided into four teams: the Disaster Assistance Support Program (DASP), Military Liaison Team (MLT), Operations Support Team (OST), and Overseas Administration Team (OAT).

The Program Support (PS) Division provides operational management support, including general administration, budget and financial services, procurement planning, information technology, human resources management including staff care, and contract and grant administration support to OFDA. The PS Division supports OFDA's mandate by providing innovative solutions in the areas of Information Technology, staffing, funds control, budgeting, human resource management, and procurement to facilitate timely disaster responses. The PS Division is divided into four teams: the Award, Audit, and Risk Management (AARM) Team, Human Resources Management Team (HRM), Budget, Finance, and Information Technology (BFIT) Team, and the Acquisition and Management (ACQ) Team.

The Preparation, Strategic Planning and Mitigation (PSPM) Division is responsible for the technical oversight of all OFDA response and mitigation programs, as well as preparation for response, mitigation, and disaster risk reduction activities. The PSPM Division houses technical experts in all sectors potentially affected by disasters, and leads the Agency in developing and promoting best practices for programming in these specific sectors. In addition, PSPM will be the focal point for technological innovations for humanitarian assistance in areas such as monitoring and evaluation, assessment, and information management. The PSPM Division is divided into four teams: Cross-Cutting Sectors Team, Natural Hazards Team, Health Team, and Food Security and Livelihoods Team.

The Humanitarian Policy and Global Engagement (HPGE) Division assists the DCHA front office, the OFDA Director and OFDA Deputy Director with tracking trends and policy developments in the humanitarian assistance field. It engages in policy dialogue with other parts of USAID, the USG interagency, other donors, multilateral agencies, and NGO partners; recommends strategies for action to DCHA; initiates development of policy and internal guidance for OFDA; maintains global relationships with implementing partners, other donors, and the broader humanitarian architecture; and engages with the UN to advance USG humanitarian policy objectives and promote humanitarian principles within the USG and internationally. The HPGE Division leads OFDA's communications and social media outreach to effectively communicate OFDA s story to a variety of strategic audiences. It serves as the office s primary interlocutor on strategic issues with other federal partners to provide guidance to OFDA on policy issues pertaining to the interagency, and to improve USG humanitarian coordination and response during large-scale crises. The HPGE Division staff manages global programs, policy and outreach, strategic communications, and interagency training and engagement. HPGE is divided into seven teams: Policy Team, Global Programs Team, Strategic Interagency Team, Strategic Communications Team, Global Capacity and Leadership Development Team, Public-Private Engagement Team, and the United States Mission to the UN (USUN) in New York, Geneva, and Rome.

INTRODUCTION

To fulfill its mandate, and to effectively respond to disasters worldwide, OFDA has established six regional offices in the following locations: San Jose, Costa Rica; Nairobi, Kenya; Dakar, Senegal; Pretoria, South Africa; Budapest, Hungary and Bangkok, Thailand. OFDA also has other, smaller sub-regional and program offices around the world.

The regional offices are headed by Senior Regional Advisors (SRAs), who work closely with Team Leaders in Washington, and report to the appropriate Division Director. SRAs serve as the regional team leaders for all response, preparedness and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) activities. They serve as key interlocutors with embassies and missions in a disaster, and may serve as the DART Leader if needed. They are principally responsible for managing regional offices, monitoring all grants on humanitarian assistance program implementation, overseeing sub-regional offices as appropriate, supervising the office staff, and developing, in consultation with their respective Regional Advisors (RAs) and Washington-based Team Leaders, the multi-year non-response program strategies for their respective regions. They coordinate with OFDA/Washington on disaster response activities, determine program priorities, and identify and formulate disaster preparedness, mitigation, and training programs for their respective regions.

The RAs report to the SRA; they ensure that OFDA s objectives for disaster response and assistance, strategic reporting and analysis are met. The RAs are responsible for monitoring and reporting on OFDA-funded programs and activities, and formulating disaster response, preparedness, mitigation and training programs for the region.

OBJECTIVE

OFDA requires the services of an RA for EMCA for the Budapest Regional Office but will be initially based in Baghdad, Iraq to serve at the DART Team Leader in order to meet its objectives of programming, monitoring, coordinating, and evaluating USG humanitarian programs in Iraq.

9. CORE FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

Introduction:

Norwegian People s Aid (NPA) founded in 1939 is the Norwegian labour movement s humanitarian organisation for solidarity. NPA s goal is to support human worth and equal rights for all, irrespective of sex, disability, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference or social status. The NPA vision is solidarity in practice. The vision demands commitment and action to protect life and health, build democratic societies and strengthen people s ability to master their own lives.

Background:

Norwegian People s Aid (NPA) began GBV emergency prevention and response activities in Kurdish region of Iraq (KRI) in January 2016 as part of the emergency response to ISIS offensive. NPA has been supporting GBV prevention and response work in Iraq since 1995 through supporting local actors conducting mainly awareness raising and advocacy work. With support of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs NPA with its local partners is currently expanding its GBV prevention and response work into newly liberated areas of Nineweh governorate. NPA is also strengthening and expanding psychoeducational work for tackling social norm, attitudes and engaging men and boys. The current program is in its third year of implementation with a specific focus on supporting women civil society organizations focused on GBV and gender equality with particular attention to expanding Peer Support Groups, sensitization of men and boys and advocacy work.

General description of Scope of Service:

Norwegian People s Aid (NPA) is seeking the services of a consultant with experience in humanitarian and development programmes in conflict-affected areas to provide capacity building to local partner civil society organizations on psychoeducational group work for addressing trauma, gender based violence and social, gender norm change.

The main objective of the consultant is to further develop and strengthen the existing Peer Support Group activity that has been implemented in 2017 and 2018. During the pilot phase NPA has trained 16 Peer Support facilitators and ran Peer Support Groups for approximately 450 women and girls 15+ and 450 men and boys 15+. The purpose of Peer Support Group activity was not only to address the trauma of conflict affected population but specifically to create understanding of harmful social norm, GBV and gender injustice, and to promote understanding and attitudes for greater gender equality in Iraqi society sensitizing participants. The previous Peer Support Group work consisted of 8 sessions per group and based on the feedback of participants and facilitators it was decided that the duration of group work needs to be extended in particular to improve the gender transformative aspects of it, as they are more difficult to relay and require more time.

The consultant s main objective will be to build on existing training materials and strengthen the gender transformative aspect into context specific, relatable, fun, engaging training that can then further be replicated by facilitators themselves in the Peer Support Group setting. The consultant is tasked to recruit and capacity build a new generation of Peer support facilitators that will have good facilitation skills for meaningful, engaging, empathetic and impactful work with their communities through Peer Support Group sessions. Given past experience it is clear that the consultant needs to poses excellent facilitation skills and ability to transfer that knowledge and build facilitation capacity in the new generation of Peer Support facilitators in addition to transferring knowledge for conducting different sessions. After finalized materials and training, the future Peer support facilitators will start running first Peer Support Groups. In the first weeks of that process, the Consultant will be tasked with supervision and on-the-job coaching of facilitators to ensure that the purpose and impact of the sessions is achieved.

The consultant will widely benefit from and build on existing training curriculum, M&E tools, training reports etc. The consultant will further develop a more context specific curriculum considering the particular context of Nineweh governorate of Iraq: almost 3 years of ISIS rule, brainwashing, radical misogyny, sexual enslavement and conflict dynamics between various communities. The project will work in different areas under authority of KRI and Government of Iraq (GoI) with various ethnic groups, focusing on Nineweh governorate.

Timeline: Two in country visits are expected. The first one for approximate duration of 6-7 weeks (expected start date mid or end October) and the second one for approximate duration of 3-4 weeks (second half of January 2019).
