Conflict Analysis/Conflict Sensitive Programming Specialist

Job Posting: 19/Nov/2018

Closure Date: 17/Dec/2018, 11:59:00 PM

Organizational Unit: Various

Job Type: Non-staff opportunities

Type of Requisition: Consultant

Primary Location: Various locations

Duration: Up to 11 months (with possibility of extension subject to funding availability)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that Closure Date and Time displayed above are based on your personal device date and time settings.

FAO is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender and nationality. People with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidentiality. The incumbent may be re-assigned to different activities and/or duty stations depending on the evolving needs of the Organization.

Organizational Setting

Conflict has severely adverse effects on hunger, nutrition and overall sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development demands more collaborative approaches to conflict prevention, mitigation, resolution and recovery. This has important implications for FAO s work in conflict-affected settings. The achievement of all SDGs are critical elements in achieving the further goal of ensuring peaceful and inclusive societies. Recent General Assembly and Security Council resolutions stress sustaining peace as a unifying framework to tackle the root causes of conflict, applying to the whole UN system. There exists a revitalized, ambitious agenda for sustaining peace, requiring innovative, integrated and varied approaches to support Member Countries.

A priority for FAO s Strategic Programme on Resilience (SP5) in the current biennium, and reflected in the Medium Term Plan 2018-2021, is to support a more coherent and deliberate approach by FAO to sustaining peace, in all its facets from addressing the drivers of conflict, to the impacts of conflict, and ensuring conflict-sensitive development. FAO s technical expertise and knowledge have a role to play in the promotion of peaceful, just and inclusive societies,the prevention of conflict, and contributing to sustaining peace. Factors such as food insecurity, conflict over access to land and other natural resources and resulting displacement, can be drivers of violence and conflict. Strengthening resilience can help people stay on their land, create the conditions for the return to place of origin, and foster improved governance and stability. Integrating technical expertise in these, and other, areas to support efforts to sustain peace needs to be deepened and enhanced, predicated on conflict analysis to inform conflict-sensitive programming.

The aim of the consultancy is to support conflict-sensitive programming at both country and sub-regional levels.

FAO International Consultants and Call Purpose

The Organization frequently engages specialists to work on short-term projects as international consultants at various levels of experience (see minimum requirements below). The functions of a consultant are results-oriented and normally involve analysing complex issues, directing seminars or training courses, preparing documents, or writing reports on matters within their area of expertise. An international consultant is engaged by the Organization to provide expertise, skills or knowledge for the performance of a specific task or piece of work, which would be short-term by nature. The assignment may involve full-time or part-time functions similar to those of staff members. The assignment can be up to 11 months. The possibility of extension is subject to satisfactory performance and depending on the resources and needs of the Organization.

The purpose of this Call is to attract talent for Consultant assignments as they become available. The Call will create a roster of Applicants that will be used to identify candidates for these assignments.

Reporting Lines

The consultant will operate under the overall technical guidance of the Technical Officer (Protracted Crises) within the Food Security Analysis and Policies Team in ESA, under the overall supervision of the relevant FAOR and the direct supervision of the Resilience Team Leader for a given sub-region.

Technical Focus

Protracted crises and conflicts; conflict analysis; conflict-sensitive programming; contributions to sustaining peace and stability.

Conflict analysis provides an evidence base to enable strategic and targeted responses to better manage new forms of transition and turbulence, and reduce the likelihood of a (re-)emergence of violent conflict. The systematic analysis of conflict dynamics is necessary to inform programmes and actions, through the consistent application of conflict-sensitive approaches, rooted in robust theories of change. Such conflict analyses provides an evidence base to enable strategic and targeted responses to better enable programming in insecure contexts, reduce the likelihood of FAO programming causing harm, and where possible contribute to sustaining peace within the scope of FAO s mandate. More specifically, such analysis is intended to:

• Identify conflicts, causality and contemporary conflict and peace drivers;
• Assess the political economy of conflict and peace and more specifically the impact on agriculture, livelihoods and markets;
• Document likely conflict scenarios and their impact over the length of the programme cycle;
• Inform conflict-sensitive programme design and principled and impartial access during implementation;
• Understand potential interconnections between conflict and FAO programming and provide recommendations for staff to minimize unintentional negative impacts;
• Document where programming could serve to bridge social divides and contribute towards sustainable peace;
• Develop more contextually driven linkages with partners, other UN agencies, NGOs and donors;
• Recognise information gaps and identify areas for further study.

Tasks and responsibilities

In recognizing these requirements, the Conflict Analysis/Conflict Sensitive Programming Specialist will undertake the following main activities:

• Support FAO country offices in a sub-region by conducting conflict analyses (both in depth and good enough ), with particular attention to areas of FAO s mandate, identifying policy implications and programmatic opportunities, to integrate into and inform conflict-sensitive programming, informing Country Programming Frameworks and Resilience Strategies and contributing to inter-agency discussions and planning at the field level;
• Run Conflict Sensitivity Programme Clinics with FAO staff and partners to tease out conflict-sensitive programming implications, and to build capacity of FAO staff in this regard, using a joint FAO-Interpeace methodology;
• Review concept notes and/or fully fledged project proposal(s) for FAO interventions in the sub-region to ensure conflict-sensitivity is adequately reflected;
• Provide guidance on conflict sensitivity to FAO staff in country offices in a sub-region as required;
• Support efforts to mainstream conflict analysis and conflict sensitivity throughout FAO s work in a sub-region, in addition to providing a conflict lens on analytical and normative products, and key programme related processes (e.g. project cycle, procurement, monitoring and evaluation);
• Support documentation of country-level conflict sensitive best practices as well as projects that have made tangible contributions towards sustaining peace.

Europe Foundation (EPF) is seeking an international consultant to assist EPF s partners and grantees in better utilizing the media and media tools in supporting empowerment of disadvantaged, vulnerable, and marginalized groups, and ensuring that citizens receive unbiased information about developments around them. The consultant is to introduce the beneficiaries to tested and innovative media advocacy strategies that enhance civic participation.

About EPF

Europe Foundation s mission is to empower people to effect change for social justice and economic prosperity through hands-on programs, helping them to improve their communities and their own lives. To achieve its mission, EPF strives (1) to strengthen the capacity of individuals and institutions, empowering them to address pressing issues and (2) to mobilize relevant stakeholders in issue-based dialogue, through raising public awareness and creating various coalitions, platforms or working groups, so as to effect positive change.

EPF s work is guided by the following approaches: (1) creating opportunities for civic participation in public policy making, (2) engaging youth, (3) fostering culture of corporate and community philanthropy, including through formation of public-private-NGO partnerships, (4) promoting evidence-based advocacy and decision making, and (5) building confidence across religious, ethnic, and community divides. Some of EPF s flagship programs include Engage and Monitor for Change, European Integration, Youth Integration,Social Enterprise, and Open Door Grantmaking. Together, they feed into achieving the Foundation s mission and provide opportunities for Georgians to engage in social, economic, and political developments, in order to effect substantive and sustainable positive change at the local and national level.

Background

Europe Foundation has always viewed the media as its partner in supporting democratization processes and improving the protection of human rights, inasmuch as by determining the news content, by bringing together diverse viewpoints, and by selecting words when reporting content, the media representatives make lasting impact on citizens and influence the development trajectory of any society. For this reason, EPF has always encouraged partnerships between civil society organizations (CSOs) and the media, as it has seen first-hand how such collaboration has promoted good governance and empowered people to effect changes for social justice and economic prosperity.

Some of the examples of EPF s engagement with the media include more than sixty-five grants that have been awarded to encourage CSO-media partnerships and investigative journalism. EPF has also supported privately owned regional media outlets in improving their capacity to develop media content, to introduce public service values in their work, and to organize in a viable media association that would better advocate for the interests of small regional broadcasters. Similarly, EPF s work to push forward Georgia s European agenda and to promote the concept of social entrepreneurship has been conducted in active cooperation with the media, which included diverse capacity development and public outreach activities, as well as bi-annual public opinion surveys to provide truthful information about the Georgian citizens knowledge and attitudes toward the EU. Adhering to its promise of engaging with citizens in the regions of Georgia, EPF has been working in tandem with the Georgian Association of Regional Broadcasters and the Georgian Regional Media Association to provide the public information about such diverse issues as food safety and consumer rights, legal aid, social entrepreneurship, etc. In addition, the members of EPF-supported Youth Banks in 25 municipalities of Georgia, are encouraged to reach out to the public via traditional and social media, sharing stories and organizing campaigns. Their media activism has contributed to improved support from adult community members and in-kind or financial contributions from municipal authorities, as well as local schools and business community.

Recently, EPF has been taking more active steps in engaging the media in its programming and grantmaking, so as to improve basic media and information literacy of targeted CSOs and individuals. EPF would further like to build capacity of its partners and grantees in media and information literacy, so that they are better able to:

• produce their own content and develop actionable advocacy campaigns that shape public discourse,
• tell stories about the issues that most concern their constituencies to mobilize support
• tell stories about real changes brought about by their efforts.

Purpose

The selected international consultant will be asked to support the Foundation s efforts in assessing the needs of EPF s target groups and in developing storytelling capacity building module that responds to the identified needs. When developing the module, the consultant will be asked to utilize a mix of custom-tailored workshops and the existing storytelling tools already available online, which can be applicable in the Georgian context and can be adapted to reach the beneficiaries.

The consultant will also be expected to conduct training/s for the target group, so that they are better able to inform and educate the right-holders about their rights, to produce communication content for actionable advocacy campaigns that shape public discourse, and to tell stories about the real changes brought about by their efforts.

UNICEF works in some of the world s toughest places, to reach the world s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

Background & Rationale

On behalf of the inter-agency Reference Group and in collaboration with UNFPA, UNICEF led the revision of the 2005 Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Gender-based Violence Guidelines, which are now called the IASC Guidelines on Integrating Gender-Based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Actions ( the GBV Guidelines ). The revised GBV Guideines were finalized in 2015 and are in it s fourth year of global roll-out. An inter-agency Task Team (17 agencies and independent consultants) have overseen the revision and roll-out process. In the first three years, the focus on implementation utilizes the experience of humanitarian sectors that have developed and implemented minimum standards or guidance for humanitarian response. The overall goal of the GBV Guidelines is to support humanitarian stakeholders (international and national actors across all humanitarian sectors) to fulfil their responsibility to protect all those affected by crises by:

To promote sustained, systematic uptake of the GBV Guideines by humanitarian stakeholders over the long term, a detailed Implementation Strategy has been developed. The strategy aims to catalyse system change in order that all humanitarian programming is planned and implemented to mitigate the risks of GBV.

To support this process, a five member, inter-agency Implementation Support Team (IST) is actively leading the roll-out process at field level. Each inter-agency IST member is responsible for integrating GBV risk mitigation considerations within their host agency to ensure uptake and ownership of the GBV Guidelines, recognizing the unique expertise available to contribute to institutionalization of GBV risk mitigation within agency operations and programmes.

In consultation with the GBV Implementation Support Team and UNICEF HQ, a targeted number of emergency-affected and preparedness countries and contexts will be selected for in-depth capacity-building support. Information Management-related activities will work collaboratively and closely with other GBV risk mitigation areas of work to achieve mutually beneficial and impactful outcomes. The secondary purpose of this contract is to lead evidene and knowledge generation of GBV risk mitigation effectiveness and measurement frameworks, in particular how GBV risk mitigation links with sector-specific priorities and outcomes a critical gap in the humanitarian sector.

Furthermore, the consultant will support a series of learning and knowledge sharing events to deepen the awareness and traction of GBV risk mitigation actions, including at high visibility events such as the Sexual Violence Research Initiative Forum (SVRI Forum).
