Background

I. Organizational Context

On the ground in 177 countries and territories, UNDP offers global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.'

UNDP Indonesia's mission is to be an agent for change in the human and social development of Indonesia. We, the UNDP Country Office (CO), aim to be a bridge between Indonesia an all donors as well as maintaining our status as a trusted partner to all stakeholders. We work in four key areas of development: Governance Reforms, Pro-Poor Policy Reforms, Conflict Prevention and Recovery, and Environment Management, with the overarching aim of reducing poverty in Indonesia. Besides the four priority areas, UNDP Indonesia is also engaged in a variety of crosscutting initiatives focused on HIV/AIDS, gender equality, and information and technology for development.

Background

On 26 May 2010 the Governments of Indonesia and Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a REDD+ Partnership. The first phase of this REDD+ Partnership (Phase 1) was to establish an agency with the capacity to implement and manage REDD+ projects initially in the pilot province Central Kalimantan and progressively in other priority provinces across Indonesia. A Task Force (Satuan Tugas, Satgas) was established to support this initial phase and, as of June 2013 at the end of the Task Force's mandate, the following progress was achieved:

• Drafting of an integrated Presidential Regulation regarding the establishment of a REDD+ Agency and governance of REDD+ in Indonesia;
• Finalisation of a REDD+ National Strategy (Stranas) and development of Provincial Strategies and Action Plans (PSAPs) for the eleven priority provinces;
• Agreement on, and legal basis for, the structure and operations of a REDD+ Financial Instrument (FREDDI); its implementation awaits the establishment of the REDD+ Agency and the subsequent release of funding for Phase 2 of the LoI;
• A methodology, partially trialled, for the structure and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of the MRV technical unit; while international standards and an international/national REDD+ registry remain in development, the unit is ready for mobilisation following the establishment of the REDD+ Agency;
• Legal review of regulatory requirements related to REDD+ implementation in particular land tenure, forest and peat-land governance, forest monitoring and law enforcement, consolidation of land concessions, and a Moratorium on all new concessions for conversion of peat and natural forest in Indonesia; and
• Successful implementation of a wide range of projects by the REDD+ Task Force in the pilot province Central Kalimantan with a focus on developing an operational capacity and an enabling environment for REDD+ projects.

These achievements have prepared a basic foundation for a future REDD+ national programme that aims to address the emission-reduction target for the forestry and peat-land sectors and the national long-term goals associated with sustainable economic development and poverty reduction.

The second phase of the Indonesian-Norway partnership soon to be commenced following the establishment of the REDD+ Agency and its technical units in December 2013. The newly established REDD+ Agency has formulated its 10 imperative actions which are as follows: 1. Monitoring moratorium

The American Bar Association s Center for Human Rights recently expanded its trial monitoring programin partnership with the Clooney Foundation for Justice s TrialWatch Project. Around the world, the space for dissent is shrinking, as journalists, human rights advocates, and representatives of marginalized communities increasingly face frivolous criminal charges in an effort to stymie their work. The TrialWatch initiativeconducts trial monitoring worldwide in cases that present a significant risk of injustice. In particular, the initiative focuses on criminal trials in which courts may be used to oppress vulnerable groups, silence speech, or target political opponents.

The Center for Human Rights is actively seeking pro bono trial observers to monitor criminal proceedings on behalf of the TrialWatch initiative. Observers do not need a background in the law or previous experience in monitoring trials. The Center will provide observers with the necessary training. Observers will have the opportunity to travel to different countries and serve as the Center s eyes and ears on the ground. Thus far, observers have monitored trials in countries such as Equatorial Guinea, Cambodia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Uganda, and India.

Your role as an observer will have a concrete impact. The monitoring of trials has contributed to the release of defendants; much needed publicity, ensuring that defendants are not forgotten; and follow-up advocacy such as litigation and submissions to international and regional mechanisms. Find information about the trials the Center has monitored here: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/human_rights/reports/

Foreign languages are preferred, but not required. All expenses related to monitoring will be covered by the Center. Monitors will be given the opportunity to obtain official certification by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights as a trial monitor.

If you are interested in becoming a monitor, please send a CV and a brief description of your interest in the project to:

About Muso

Muso believes no one should die waiting for health care. We build health systems to save lives by reaching patients faster, within hours of the moment they become sick. To do this, we partner with communities facing extreme poverty. Muso has spent more than a decade creating and improving our Proactive Care model, preparing it to serve the global effort for universal health care. We have documented rapid health improvements across the populations we serve: a 2018 study found that communities we reach in Mali, which previously saw some of the world s highest child mortality rates, sustained child mortality rates lower than any country in sub-Saharan Africa for five years, and ultimately reached a rate on par with that of the United States. Patient access to care increased tenfold. Muso now serves the governments of Mali and Cote d Ivoire in their efforts to translate the results of this research into national policy and practice.

We provide proactive health care to 350,000 patients in peri-urban and rural Mali, and embed rigorous academic research and strategic advocacy to identify and share strategies that can accelerate global efforts for child survival, maternal health, and universal health care. Given the transformations in health care access and survival Muso has documented, over the next five years our direct service, research, and advocacy will work to advance a new model of care for community health systems. Learn more about our work at www.musohealth.org.

About the Position

More than five million children die every year and more than half the world s population lives without access to essential health care. To take on these enormous injustices, Muso is growing rapidly. We aim to reach up to one million patients directly with proactive care, and to improve care for tens of millions of people through changes in global policy and practice.

TERMS OF REFERENCE EXTERNAL EVALUATION INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

A.Organizational Background

Heartland Alliance International (HAI) is the youngest and fastest growing part of Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights, a family of organizations that has been leading anti-poverty and social justice work in Chicago for more than 125 years. HAI is comprised of country offices around the world implementing programs on a broad range of human rights issues globally, as well as the Chicago-based Marjorie Kovler Center for the Treatment of Survivors of Torture, which serves individuals from more than 50 countries. HAI has significant expertise in the fields of trauma-informed mental health care and access to justice for survivors of rights abuses. It is also an industry leader in access to high-quality and stigma-free health care. Across all of its programs, HAI promotes progressive, innovative approaches to human rights protections and gender equality.

B.Project Background

With generous support from Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), HAI launched Restoring Human Rights After Da eshproject. The goal of this 22-month-long project is to help Iraqi government officials, legal professionals, and community-based organizations more effectively contest the use of torture and enforced disappearance, and improve prevention and reporting of severe human rights abuses, particularly those related to the recent conflict with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The project activities focus on providing direct services to individuals who are survivors of or at risk of severe human rights abuses and building the capacity of Iraqi civil society and public institutions to address the needs of this population throughout Iraq. The two strategic objectives of the project are:

*Strategic Objective 1 (SO1): The Iraqi government and KRG are more transparent, accountable, and responsive to international human rights standards on detention, use of torture, and enforced disappearance.*

*Strategic Objective 2 (SO2): Iraqi civil society in areas recently liberated from Da esh better responds to the needs of survivors of severe human rights abuse and effectively advocates for governmental adherence to international human rights standards.*

Under SO1, HAI sought to strengthen government capacity to monitor, identify, and respond to the incidence of torture and enforced disappearance in both Iraq and the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. Through close collaboration with independent human rights commissions, members of parliament, and other stakeholders, HAI supported implementation of an online human rights monitoring tool, facilitated creation of an intergovernmental task force, and conducted round tables on new laws on combating torture and protecting witnesses.

Under SO2, HAI sought to strengthen civil society s capacity to provide support to survivors of torture and family members of victims of enforced disappearance. HAI provided training to project partners in Nineveh, Anbar, and Baghdad, and project partners then provided legal and mental health services to participants in those provinces. HAI also established the Smile of Hope Center, a trauma rehabilitation clinic delivering mental health and psychosocial services to survivors of torture.

C.Evaluation Rationale

HAI seeks a Contractor to conduct a final evaluation of Restoring Human Rights After Da eshover the life of the project. The evaluation will measure the project s effectiveness and relevance, and potential for sustainability.

2. How has the project affected the ability of Iraqi government and civil society stakeholders to uphold international human rights standards on detention, use of torture, and enforced disappearance?

3. What are the key programmatic and operational strengths and weaknesses of the project design that have affected project overall performance?

The evaluation will be shared with both HAI and the donor and will help inform the future design and programming of HAI s programming on juvenile justice, healing from trauma, and reintegration of communities in Iraq and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
