South Sudan (Republic of): Urban Refugee Database Consultant (short term)

Organisation:  International Rescue Committee
Country:  South Sudan (Republic of)
Closing date:  12 Jan 2013

Short Term Consultant Needed Immediately

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

Background

The IRC protection program is implementing an UNHCR-funded project that provides information, referrals and training to the Nuba Mountain urban refugee population in Juba, South Sudan. The goal of the project is to strengthen services available for persons with specific needs (PSNs), while also supporting the refugee community to better manage and assist themselves.

Currently, the IRC is visiting urban refugee households in wider Juba to identify PSNs and to enhance the understanding of protection concerns facing the larger Nuba Mountain community. The IRC will soon establish an information and counseling center in Juba to receive refugee clients and when necessary, refer them for appropriate services from project partners ACROSS and UNHCR. Identified PSNs will receive support from the IRC and partners.

Under this project, the IRC will develop two (2) linked databases to manage the identified PSNs caseload while also registering data collected from household questionnaires and client intake at the information and counseling center. The PSN database will be technically compatible with and linked to UNHCR’s proGres database, while all other data from the household questionnaires and client intake would be entered and registered in a separate database developed using Microsoft Access.

The IRC is seeking a consultant for 14 working days to design and set up the two (2) databases in collaboration with UNHCR and the IRC protection manager, and to train the IRC protection team on use and maintenance of the databases.

Scope of Work

Working closely with UNHCR’s in-country database team, the consultant will develop a PSN database that uses proGres tables, coding and software that will be directly connected to proGres through a mobile server provided by UNHCR.

The data tables in the Microsoft Access database will be based on the household survey’s questions and designed for maximum ease in terms of data entry. The Access database will also allow for tracking of referrals and case follow up for clients. Data entered into the PSN database will automatically be entered into the Access PSN section but the Access data will not automatically update in the PSN database and will be shared with UNHCR on a yet-to-be agreed upon basis.

Ten (10) working days will be devoted to database design and set up.

Once the databases are designed and set up, the consultant will train IRC protection monitors in partnership with UNHCR on data entry, report generation and database management over a four (4) day period.

Deliverables

The consultant will deliver the following to the IRC:

Two (2) linked databases as described aboveFour day training on the databases, with manuals and schedule shared prior to the training

Desired Experience

5-7 years experience in database design and set up, specifically databases related to case managementVBA access development, Transact SQL scripting , MS SQL 2005 ,C# is a plus.Experience working with proGres and/or developing a database linked to proGres requiredDemonstrated training experience in a cross-cultural environment requiredProven comprehension of human rights and protection issuesAbility to work under pressure and without daily supervision

South Sudan (Republic of): Community Media Evaluation Consultant South Sudan

Country:  South Sudan (Republic of)
Closing date:  24 Oct 2012

Starting date: End of October/ beginning of November 2012

Application deadline: 24th of October 2012

Background on the projectWCH has been working in South Sudan since 2005. In 2010, as an attempt to encourage social activation and intergenerational dialogue between youth and community in Yei County, WCH started implementing a participatory video project, in collaboration with FPU (then still RNTC). The children and young people involved in the project grow up in a community that has lost all its community feeling. Through the war, all community systems were disrupted and broken up. Families and children fend for themselves and live from day to day hoping that someday they will have a better life. This means children have become more of a nuisance than an addition to society. Children cannot stand up for their rights or even start a basic conversation with their parents about their needs, as parents do not see the value in listening to children and young people.

Project informationThe project objective is to empower children and youth to raise awareness about issues they would like to change in their communities and become active agents of change. This participatory video project aims to use video as a tool to encourage discussion between generations about important child rights issues identified by the children. Due to the lack of communication between CYP and adults, it has been difficult to address child rights problems and this has created a negative environment in the home.

Need for the evaluationThe participatory video project is well liked and well received and War Child is increasingly pressured to expand it to reach more young people. In preparation for such a possible expansion and with an acute awareness on the need to ensure real outcomes for young people, we propose to first assess the current project and its results, so clear future pathways can be drawn based on the findings of an evaluation.In addition, this is an innovative project that could be expanded beyond South Sudan. It is important to understand the impact and what made the project a success before developing a possible replicable model. Please check the ToR for more detailed info.

The safety of children is essential to War Child. War Child does not tolerate or accept any form of abuse.This subject is addressed in our recruitment and selection procedures.

How to applyInterested and qualified candidates are invited to send a letter of motivation and CV (not exceeding 5 pages) to jobs@warchild.nl before 24 October 2012 (please mention Community Media Evaluation Consultant South Sudan in the subject line).
