Communications Officer

Organizational Setting and Work Relationships

In line with its Global Communications Strategy, UNHCR requires skilled communications professionals to conceive and execute a range of activities that help us lead the narrative on forced displacement, generate empathy and mobilize action. This body of work spans communications strategy and coordination, news and media relations, multimedia content production, social media engagement, Goodwill Ambassadors and other influencers, public outreach and campaigns, fundraising, analytics and brand.

UNHCR's Communications Officers need to cultivate a keen understanding of our target audiences' including an up-to-the-minute grasp of the methods and tone of voice that resonate deeply, win trust and spark quality engagement. They must be vigilant about editorial and journalistic standards, attentive to protection concerns and political sensitivities, and focused on communicating successfully with key demographics. These audiences will vary by location, language and platform, among other factors, as well as whether the aim is to inform, advocate or raise funds.

Communications Officers functions, working relationships and skills specializations differ depending on language, location, grade, and whether they sit within a country operation, a regional bureau or the Global Communications Service. UNHCR's primary target audiences include public, media and policymakers, while our main partners and influencers include peers and private sector, trusted figures and our own workforce. Some communicators will focus mainly on news and media relations, for example, while others will produce multimedia content, manage social media accounts or lead advocacy campaigns. Forging partnerships with media outlets that reach target audiences is a central role for all Communications Officers.
All Communications Officers are expected to work strategically in support of UNHCR's operational and communications objectives for their geographic area of responsibility (AoR) as well as global priorities. Communications approaches should reflect our core values as an organization that is caring, trustworthy, proactive, outcome-focused and responsive. This will reinforce UNHCR's role as the lead agency that protects refugees, internally displaced and stateless people and mobilizes action to provide solutions.

All UNHCR staff members are accountable to perform their duties as reflected in their job description.

Humanitarian situation and needs:

After an armed and civil uprising ended Muammar al Gadhafi s regime in late 2011, the authorities have had difficulties to address pressing security issues, reshape the country s public finances, or create a viable framework for post-conflict justice and reconciliation. Thus, since 2014, non-state armed groups have disrupted Libya s political transition. In 2017, continued political instability, ongoing-armed conflict in Libya, particularly internal struggles between local militias, and the collapse of economy, have led to deteriorating living conditions and reduced access to essential services in most of the country. Civilians continue to suffer from unsafe living conditions, with little or no access to health care services, essential medicines, safe drinking water, shelter and education. By today, the whole population is affected by the armed conflict and the lack of a functioning government, and 1.1 million people in Libya will still need humanitarian assistance in 2018. The complex humanitarian crisis is primarily driven by the absence of the rule of law, lack of access to basic services, displacement of population, the collapse of the economic system and the financial crisis.

Humanitarian consequences:

In late 2017, suffering from armed combats for several years, Benghazi area was hosting about 45.000 internally displaced people (IDP) coming from different areas in Libya, and 147.000 returnees. Benghazi appears to be, with Tripoli, one of the two main cities to host the more IDPs. Otherwise, while the political situation in Libya remains tumultuous, new patterns of displacement are occurring, with a growing trend of returns reported in the East, and especially in Benghazi. Benghazi and its surroundings appear to be particularly vulnerable locations due to the high damage inflicted by three years of heavy clashes. The violation of human rights and humanitarian law, including violations of the right to life, and of children and women s rights, are widespread, including of Gender-based Violence. There are alarming levels of gender-based violence and grave violations of child and women s rights in the current context.

In the Southeast of the country, the tensions between the Tebu and the Zway tribes seriously affects the health system and the access to basic services. Tribe communities, when they are a minority in the area, are suffering from segregation in most of Al kufra s institutions, including health care facilities. This occurs in a context of underdevelopment and poverty that exacerbates the impact of the conflict on the population in the region. Indeed, this area has been suffering, even before the conflict, from a poor investment from the central government. However, few information are available on this area and its humanitarian needs due to a poor, if not almost inexistent, presence of NGOs.

Our actions in the Field:

Since May 2016 and the beginning of the exploratory mission, PUI is developing an emergency health and psychosocial response that aims to meet the most urgent needs in health care of the most vulnerable populations in Benghazi area. So far, PUI has been focusing on the health care issue, by providing medical treatments and primary health care to internal displaced populations and their host communities in Benghazi city. PUI is recreating an access to health care, via Mobile Health Teams and psychosocial support intervention. Finally, PUI is working on the reinforcement of the local emergency response capacity through the participation in the development and the implementation of a Health Rapid Response Capacities in Benghazi city, including passive monitoring (EWARS) and deployment of PUI teams for rapid assessments and to support the national emergency response in case of confirmed alert.

Thus, PUI has been implementing three Mobile Health Teams providing primary health care and psychosocial support in Benghazi city and performed rehabilitation and restoration of 1 health care clinic. PUI is now scaling up its intervention with the deployment of a new MHT in Great Benghazi. PUI will also start an exploratory mission (multi sectorial assessment) in Southeast of Libya where only few humanitarian actors are present while serious humanitarian needs remain uncovered. In addition, PUI is starting to intervene in Migrant s Detention Center where Rehabilitation (WASH) and health activities will be implemented. Finally, PUI planned 10 small rehabilitation projects in Benghazi area in 2018.

Humanitarian situation

Libya s political transition has been disrupted by armed non-state groups and threatened by the indecision and infighting of interim leaders. After an armed uprising ended the 40-plus year rule of Muammar al Qadhafi in late 2011, interim authorities proved unable to form a stable government, address pressing security issues, reshape the country s public finances, or create a viable framework for post-conflict justice and reconciliation.

In 2016, continued political instability and ongoing armed conflict in Libya has led to deteriorating living conditions and reduced access to essential services for a significant part of the country. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) remain one of the most vulnerable population groups as they seek out temporary shelter and scarce livelihood opportunities in urban centres, many without access to basic services. The power vacuum that gave way to the rise of armed groups in Libya, and the ongoing violence has caused thousands more Libyans to flee their homes in search of protection and assistance. In February 2016, while the political situation in Libya remains tumultuous, new patterns of displacement are occurring, with a growing trend of return reported in the East.

Over 435 000 people in Libya have been forcibly displaced, almost doubling the number reported in 2014. Humanitarian organizations face serious difficulties to reach communities and vulnerable IDP families affected by the ongoing violence in the country.

Health and protection needs of the affected population stand out in terms of scope, scale and severity. This is the result of major shortages of essential medicines and a debilitated primary healthcare system, which have led to an increase in serious illnesses and disease. The conflict has restricted access to basic services, led to forced displacement and impacted people s safety and security. The displaced are the most vulnerable due to limited coping capacity and loss of assets, particularly displaced women, children, the elderly and those with low economic means. Refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants are also considered some of the most vulnerable, due to their exposed risk to discrimination and exploitation based on their status. According to OCHA, the most severe needs in terms of geographic areas are those of affected people in the east and south of the country.

The worsening economic situation and political crises have exacerbated the vulnerability of the people in Libya, where the main source of household income remains salaries from the state. In the preliminary findings of the MSNA conducted by UN agencies, 71 per cent of households reported that their incomes have either remained the same or decreased. Given the protracted nature of the current crisis, the primary objective is to improve resilience of affected communities. This entails building capacity at national and local levels to generate the evidence base needed to monitor the impacts of crisis, to plan key interventions as needed to address humanitarian and early recovery priorities, and to support the recovery of local economies and rehabilitation of critical damaged infrastructures and public services.

The Libya Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) is based on a number of needs assessments conducted in 2016 and updated in 2018, including the UN inter-agency Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), sector needs and gap analysis based on information from ongoing humanitarian operations in Libya and available secondary sources. In areas where conflict and insecurity impeded access to affected people, there are some significant gaps in information in terms of the scale and scope of humanitarian needs. There are also information gaps for some of the sectors, especially where national information collection and reporting systems are weak, such as for protection. (OCHA)

Due to the security context, the majority of the humanitarian intervention in Libya are being managed remotely from Tunis.

Our actions in the Field

In light with the humanitarian situation described above, Premiere Urgence Internationale launched a program in Libya targeting Benghazi area and other cities where gaps in terms of access to quality health care had been identified.

The main objective is the reduction of morbidity and mortality among conflict affected populations in Libya and to improve access to quality healthcare for population affected by the ongoing conflict in Benghazi and its surroundings by the implementation of mobile clinics delivering a range of medical services.

Targeted as a priority for the humanitarian community by the latest HRP designed in October, the health system has completely collapsed in Libya. This project aims at :

• improve access to primary health care through mobile health care clinics, including sexual and reproductive health, mental health and psychosocial support interventions, information and guidance on local services, including referral where necessary,
• support to improve personal health care behaviors for existing displaced populations by reinforcement of community prevention, information and communication
• Improve emergency response to new large scale displacement by supporting the creation and the strengthening of an early warning system to develop coordination and cooperation with local actors and relevant authorities to ensure a timely comprehensive response in case of population displacement.

This program is currently supported by DG ECHO, UNHCR, EU Delegation and CDCS (Centre de Crise et de Soutien du MAE).

Due to the security situation, as most of the intervention, this program should be managed remotely from Tunis with potential visit to Libya depending on security clearance (currently on process). Following the evolution of the context, the remote management could be reduced.

CTG Overview:

CTG stands for Committed To Good. With an ethical approach at the heart of all that we do, it is a description that makes us proud. Respect for the fundamental human rights of our staff, and those our staff encounter, is a cornerstone of our values. 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:
Children who have been affected by conflict, violence and displacement face difficulty in achieving their full learning and developmental potential. Violence hampers learning and is detrimental to children's well-being. Corporal punishment of children in schools is forbidden in Libya by law. However, available studies show that the level of violence against and amongst children is high in Libyan schools. The UNICEF- NCDC study (2017) on violence against children in Libya found that 90% of boys and 88% of girls reported that they had experienced some forms of violence at home, schools or in their communities There are no formal school-based referral or support mechanism in place for child victims of violence, including bullying, The VAC study found that children reported high levels of violence in schools (from adults and peer-to-peer). Teachers were also found to be the most common adult perpetrators of physical violence: almost 67 per cent of children reported physical violence by their teachers in the 12 months preceding the survey. Parents were the second-most common perpetrators of physical violence, with around 38 per cent of students reporting to have experienced violence by their parents in the last 12 months. These factors can impact a child s ability to thrive in a learning environment, resulting in poor school performance.

UNICEF Libya with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Social Affairs and other relevant ministries and partners is committed to ensure a protective environment for children in schools. Schools can also provide a link into families and communities which can enable a dialogue and encourage positive collective steps to end violence against children more broadly. UNICEF Child Protection section in coordination with Education section will support the Ministry of Education to mainstream, integrate and institutionalize a protection and psychosocial support component that is sustainable, applicable, effective and practical. This will include the development of a policy to integrate psychosocial support within schools, the development of a training/capacity development module for teachers and social workers and school counselors including the review of the current curriculum implemented by the PSS department of the Tripoli university 0 on enhancing protection and psychosocial wellbeing in schools to be integrated within the in-service teachers/social workers training and piloting PSS and violence prevention activities in targeted schools.

Role objectives:
Under the supervision of the Child Protection Specialist and in collaboration with Education Specialist, the consultant will support the Ministry of Education in enhancing the psychosocial wellbeing and protection of children in schools, through mainstreaming, integration and institutionalization of a psychosocial support model that is sustainable, applicable, effective and practical. More specifically, the consultant will:

Study on the Perceptions of Host Communities, in Libya, towards Migrants

1.Background

The Regional Development and Protection Programme North Africa Development Pillar (RDPP NA DEV), funded by the European Union and implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), is a regional project aimed at strengthening the resilience of communities, supporting social cohesion between migrant and host communities, as well as improving the realisation of the rights of migrants. It also aims to enhance livelihood opportunities of migrants and host communities, within its five project countries - Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia.

In support of its objective of improving social cohesion between migrants and host communities, IOM Libya proposes to conduct a study analysing the perceptions of host communities, in Benghazi, towards migrants.

2.Objective of the consultancy

The objective of the consultancy is to provide updated quantitative and qualitative analysis on perceptions towards migrants in Benghazi. Although full use is expected to be made of secondary data, recent quantitative data are lacking. The study will therefore be primarily based on mixed-methods primary research. In addition to providing updated statistically representative data on perceptions towards migrants, the data will be used as baseline data for phase II of the RDPP, which will begin implementation in 2019.

Labour Market Assessment of Libya

1.Objective

The overall objective of this study is to gain an understanding of the dynamics of migrant workers including Libyans as potential migrants in the selected region of Libya. The study envisages building a set of recommendations with the overall intention of effectively responding to the need to enhance the employability, business development/self-employment and entrepreneurship capacities of youth, women and other members of host communities and migrants in selected areas with high concentrations of migrants. The labour market assessment will deliver practical and tangible recommendations to work towards:

An increase in formal recruitment ensuring an improved match of demand and supply of skills at the required skills level;

Identify the emerging skill sectors and within those sectors the applicable skill sets in the select regions of Libya;

Identify the standards and certification in the select skill sets in Libya with focus.

More accurate information aimed at developing a comprehensive labour migration policy ensuring migrant protection and migrant workers rights and duties, including a well-managed and fair wage system for foreign workers.

This LMA study will also serve as a tool to develop a demand driven international labour mobility strategy, based on the analysis of both the challenges and benefits of migration and aimed at empowering migrants, especially women and youth, to become full members of the society, highlighting their positive contribution to the local economy and development and promoting inclusion and social cohesion.

2.Background/Context

The role of labour migration within social and economic development planning, both for countries of origin and destination, is a multi-faceted phenomenon. Labour migration plays a crucial role in economic development of the destination countries as diverse skills sets brought by labour migrants facilitate economic growth in key sectors that may otherwise remain dormant. The greater economic growth enables the enhancement of local employment opportunities and contributes to the expansion of local businesses, especially in the private sector.

Effective labour migration policy and programming reflect all the above considerations. However, institutions managing labour migration flows must also balance considerations of labour supply-and-demand with broader concerns relating to the impact of foreign labour on domestic training and occupational interests, occupational salary scales, as well as non-labour market factors such as the social impact of foreign worker flows.

Since 2011, Libya is suffering from political, security and economic crises that have severe adverse impacts on the crucial state institutions, having a detrimental impact on its economy. Historically, the Libyan economy has always relied on migrants to meet labour and skills shortages within the domestic labour market. In recognition of this, the labour market assessment shall facilitate the much-needed information and analysis of labour market dynamics that would further enhance the ability of relevant stakeholders in developing and implementing labour migration policies.

3.Scope of work for the consultant

Geographically, the assessment shall focus on important economic centres including Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrata, Zilten, Bayda and Zawiya region of Libya. During the inception phase of the study, the consultant(s) are to ensure the application of a participatory approach by: engaging all relevant stakeholders, including the final beneficiaries; considering aspects of coordination and alignment with priorities of national authorities; that the analysis explains how the assessment findings builds on and contributes to national and local plans, activities and policies. The study should rely on mixed methods, using quantitative data sources, and the approach must take utmost care that capacity development issues are taken into consideration at all times and to fully utilize the existing capabilities of all partners. The assessment will offer strategic and operational recommendations which will inform future and on-going programs on how to effectively align with current national and regional priorities, create linkages with relevant initiatives, and build on existing good practices.

The labour market assessment is expected to deliver practical and workable recommendations towards:

An increased number of foreign recruitment requests ensuring a better match of demand and supply of skills at the required skills level,

A comprehensive labour migration policy ensuring migrant protection and migrant workers rights and duties, including a well-managed and fair wage system for foreign workers.

As part of the engagement, the consultant shall perform the following activities.

Conduct a methodology meeting with all the relevant stakeholders including relevant ministries, civil societies, local researchers etc to finalize the skills and sub skills for the purpose of study.

Study the labour market situation in Libya as a whole and regional supply potential of the labour market demands.

Analyze the demographic and economic situation of the selected regions and the development potential of its economy in medium term perspective.

Study the labour market of Libya at a macro level to identify the existing and projected demand in different skill sectors.

Assessment of Libyan Labour (Employment) Law

1.Objective of the study

The overall objective of this assessment is to assist the Government of Libya to ensure the regulation, management and effective facilitation of labour migration in Libya. The purpose of this assessment is to collect existing data on present and previous laws pertaining to labour and employment in Libya and analyze the existing labour laws, policies, legislation and practices related to migrant workers in Libya in order to identify existing gaps and align them to international standards and obligations. The study would also come up with recommendations to address institutional, policy and eventual legislative lacunaes, in conformity with prevailing international standards and best practices.

The specific objective of study is twofold: -

Assist in developing corrective policy and practical measures for the effective redressal of challenges faced by migrants regarding labour law;

To raise awareness among stakeholders on the convergence of the issue of labour migration and livelihood/employment by facilitating policy dialogues with the inter-ministerial officials for adoption of relevant remedial measures.

2.Background

Migrants are rapidly changing the face of the global landscape by acting as essential determinants of development. The recognition of the multidimensional reality of migration and its contribution to inclusive growth led to the incorporation of mobility into the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with the endorsement of target 10.7: facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies .

The contribution of migrants is especially relevant in the context of Libya where migrant workers have extensively contributed to the overall development of the economy by bringing in essential skills in crucial sectors. Despite the various security challenges since 2011, Libya still holds a labour market with major opportunities for migrants, especially for low skilled workers from the sub Saharan countries. High wages in comparison with neighbouring countries and high demand for both skilled and low skilled workers are major factors influencing migrants decision to come to Libya.

Under the employment (labour) law of Libya employment is considered a right for citizens but at the same time the law recognises employment of migrant workers prohibiting any discrimination based on the migrant status. This is in line with the SDG 8.8 protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments of all workers, including migrant workers, particularly women migrants, and those in precarious employment .

Though the existing law provides some protection to migrant workers it has been seen since 2011 that political and security uncertainty have impacted the enforcement of the law. This has raised a need for evaluating existing labour laws in the context to international laws and conventions to provide migrants enhanced opportunities and protection.

This legal assessment is aimed at providing an overall information on the issues pertaining to the livelihood and employment of migrant workers in Libya from the legal perspective. The assessment is expected to accurately locate the precise legal areas within present legal and institutional framework, relevant to labor migration employment and livelihood that require additional development. In addition to providing recommendations for the improvement of the legal framework, the assessment would focus on providing a better understanding of current legislation and procedures associated with migrant workers with regards to employment and livelihood opportunities and reflect on the challenges along with necessary steps for improvement.

3.Scope of Consultancy
