JOB CONTEXT:

Brief overview of the Iraqi contextAfter the official end of war in 2003, the population of Iraq is still hit by a complex and potentially violent situation. Despite a general improvement of the environment since 2007, the political agenda for the coming period is relatively volatile. Tensions between communities, issues such as access to oil reserves are not yet solved and can create further violence. As civilians are the primary victims of security incidents, Iraqi people continue to live in a climate of fear and insecurity. In addition, decades of wars and economic sanctions have also left Iraq in chaos. The country’s infrastructure has been severely damaged; access to basic goods and services remains restricted in many parts of the country. In Kurdistan Regional Governorate, where HI mission is based, overall situation and living conditions are far better than in the rest of the country. Nevertheless, the environment still remains unpredictable.

Project overviewThe Multi-Stakeholder Initiative - Improving Access to Rehabilitation services (MSI) is a 4 year-project aiming at improving access to rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities (PwDs) in the three governorates of the Kurdistan Region (KRG). Launched in 2010, the project has been supporting three main stakeholders involved in access to services: authorities, service providers and users of the services (PwDsand their representative organizations). It focuses on involving them in joint actions while facilitating the emergence of a multi-stakeholder dynamic with strong coordination and consultancy mechanisms. Indeed, access to services can only be improved by effective interaction between these stakeholders. Being a pilot initiative, the project also focuses on documenting experiences and lessons learned for dissemination amongst all stakeholders involved in access to rehabilitation services in Iraq.

JOB DESCRIPTION: LESSONS LEARNED CONSULTANCY

IntroductionThe MSI project has been relying on three major pillars to provide persons with disabilities with improved access to quality rehabilitation services in KRG: the promotion of Person-Centered Approach in rehabilitation centers across the region, the creation of and support to three disability information points, and a core multi-stakeholder dynamics. Since the latter is proving to be the most sustainable outcome of the project though innovative and challenging all along the process, the Lessons Learned report will be exclusively dedicated to the analysis of this component over time. This analysis will include the process of said core multi-stakeholder dynamics as well as the results attributable to collaborative work. Innovative by definition, the MSI project was designed with the perspective of being replicable: learning from it will increase the chances of success of every project to be conceived in the future upon the basis of multi-stakeholder components.

Goal, Objective and outcomes of the assignment:Goal: Understanding the role played by multi-stakeholder dynamics in the improved access of persons with disabilities to rehabilitation services in Northern IraqSpecific objective: Identifying tools and best practices for the successful implementation, continuation and replication of a multi-stakeholder dynamics while fostering the feeling of ownership of every stakeholder involved in the MSI projectExpected outcomes:? A Lessons Learned report is produced to be used as a baseline document by every stakeholder.? A clear methodology on how to set up a sustainable and fruitful multi-stakeholder dynamics is developed and will be shared with all stakeholders involved by the project team.? All stakeholders involved in the MSI project commit to continuing their efforts to coordinate among each other in order to provide persons with disabilities in Iraqi Kurdistan with improved access to quality rehabilitation services.? Both Lesson Learned process and report command local stakeholders’ ownership over the pilot multi-stakeholder initiative and empower them to maintain and/or set up multi-stakeholder dynamics on their own.Expected Outputs from the Lessons Learnt Report:?

Draw conclusions about direct and indirect results directly attributable to said multi-stakeholder collaborative work with regards to PwDs’ access to quality rehabilitation services in KRG.

Expected use and users of the Lessons Learned Report:The Lessons Learned report’s conclusions and recommendations are expected to be used by the stakeholders involved in the MSI project as well as any other actor working on improving the access to and quality of services benefiting persons with disabilities on a local, regional and national scale.
