Call for Experts

A. Project description

ICMPD Migration Management Programme in Turkey is designed to contribute to the further strengthening of the migration management capacity of the Directorate General for Migration Management (DGMM) of Turkey, through enhancing its strategic and operational capacity in different areas of migration.

As part of the ICMPD Migration Management Programme in Turkey, the ASCAP II project aims to improve the migration management system and capacity (with a particular focus on the asylum procedures) through sustainable outputs in Turkey.

The project is funded by the United Kingdom and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) is responsible for the management and implementation of the projects.

B.Background and Objectives

In April 2013 the new Law on Foreigners and International Protection of Turkey entered into force and regulates the entry and stay of foreigners in Turkey as well as all matters related to international protection. The DGMM was established and became operational in April 2014 as Turkey s new specialised migration management authority.

ICMPD has been implementing projects in Turkey, focusing primarily on topics related to migration management and policy development, but also providing support to the establishment and capacity development of DGMM as an institution.

As its predecessor project (ASCAP I), ASCAP II focuses on further support to strengthen the international protection status determination procedures of the Directorate General of Migration Management in relation to the institutional setup, quality of decisions, establishment of special procedures and collection and use of country of origin information with a view to enabling smooth processing of the existing backlog and responding to new asylum claims.

E. Desired profile of experts

1. The Project intends to provide a platform for DGMM staff to exchange with peers from EU MS working in the area of asylum. As such we particularly search for short term experts (STEs) that bring along experiences of working in a public administration in the area of migration and particularly asylum. Thus, STEs who either currently work or have worked for an asylum authority (first or second instance) within an EU Member State or an associated State and worked there as asylum decisions maker, policy maker, country of origin researcher, general researcher or reception officer or in the area of connected procedures like resettlement, return, pre-return detention, etc. are particularly encouraged to apply.

INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANT FOR CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT OF JOURNALISTS IN REPORTING ON KEY DEVELOPMENTAL AND GOVERNANCE ISSUES

Location :Male', MALDIVES

Application Deadline :05-Mar-31

Type of Contract :Individual Contract

Post Level :International Consultant

Languages Required :English

Starting Date :(date when the selected candidate is expected to start)

16-Mar-2015

Duration of Initial Contract :12 working days

Expected Duration of Assignment :12 working days

Background

Maldives had been undergoing a series of reform initiatives introduced by the Government since 2004, leading up to the amendment of the Constitution in 2008. The new Constitution includes a broad and comprehensive chapter on rights, which includes guarantees of freedom of expression (Article 27), of the media (Article 28) and to acquire and impart knowledge and information (Article 29). The constitutional amendments also opened the way for independent media, when a number of private broadcasters were licensed. While the number and types of media organizations are flourishing, there continues to be many challenges that limit the functioning of the sector to its full potential. The current capacity of media in terms of good practices of journalism, evidence based reporting, and facilitating constructive dialogue is extremely limited. Additionally, the polarization of the Maldivian communities had resulted in overtly partisan media that often further exacerbates conflict. The limited skills and time invested for research and evidence limits the viewpoints presented, and the types of issues covered through the media.

The Integrated Governance Programme (IGP) of UNDP Maldives aims to deepen democracy in the Maldives through strengthening institutions and empowering people. One of the envisioned results of the programme is to enhance the capacity of the media to contribute to democratic discourse. To this end, several initiatives have been introduced and carried out over the past couple of years. This includes a series of on-site trainings targeting key TV and print media organizations in the Maldives in 2013 which was followed by intensive trainings targeted at upcoming journalists and journalism students on strengthening their knowledge and understanding on the key developmental issues of Maldives. The trainings which were designed and delivered by an international expert also placed great emphasis on raising awareness on conflict and gender sensitive reporting.

In 2014, with the lessons learned from these trainings and upon identification of the need for concerted efforts towards encouraging responsible, issue-based journalism, UNDP commissioned the development of a Media Strategy. After consultations with relevant stakeholders and a thorough needs analysis, a Media Strategy was developed with the technical assistance of an international expert which UNDP plans to roll-out in 2015. Further capacity development of journalists, especially up and coming journalists from across the nation, is one of the main components of the strategy. With the rapidly growing community-based online news sites, the strategy also identified the need to strengthen engagement with community based journalists and strengthen their skills on reporting on developmental issues.

Against this background, UNDP is seeking the services of an international consultant to provide technical support for capacity development of journalists in reporting on key developmental and governance issues.

Duties and Responsibilities

The consultant will:

• Based on the Media Strategy, conduct a two-day workshop with two local consultants to finalize training topics/modules and methodology for the actual training with journalists;
• Provide off-site support to the local trainers during the training period through real-time online connectivity and other means;
• Coaching and mentoring - Liaise with the local consultants in coaching and mentoring of trainees (including those running online news-sites) in developing quality articles in good governance and developmental issues, for the next 5 months.

Expected Outputs/Deliverables:

• Deliver a two-day ToT / workshop for two local trainers on conflict-sensitive and responsible journalism;
• Provide off-site support to the local trainers during the training period through real-time online connectivity and other means;
• Short monitoring and evaluation report of the training program against the logical framework outlined in the Media Strategy;
• Coaching and mentoring atleast 5 trainees to produce stories on governance and development over the next 5 months.

Institutional arrangement:The consultant will report to the Project Co-ordinator - Social Cohesion. Weekly briefing meetings will be held with ARR Governance. A briefing and debriefing meeting will be organized with UNDP senior management at the beginning and end of assignment.

Duration of the work:The duration of this assignment will be 12 days, starting from the mid-week of March.

Duty station:The duty station will be Male' (for the first deliverable) and remote (for the rest).

Scope of the financial proposal and schedule of payment:The consultancy fee will be in lump sum inclusive of DSA and most direct economy class ticket.

The fee will be paid in installments corresponding to the following deliverables:

• 30% upon completion of the two-day ToT/workshop for the local trainers;
