Kenya

In Kenya, SI is implementing a water facility project funded by EuropeAid until May 2014. SI is currently developing a resilience/DRR project until March 2016 funded by DFID. Both projects are implemented in Marsabit County in a semi-arid and pastoralist context.

SI is currently seeking to pursue a DRR project in Mandera County (in remote management due to high level of insecurity).

Somalia

Organization: Mercy Corps
Country: Nigeria
Closing date: 09 May 2014

PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:

Globally, Mercy Corps’ mission is to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. This occurs when public, private and civil society actors interact with accountability, inclusive participation and mechanisms for peaceful change. Our global strategy 1) takes an integrated, systems approach, 2) works in partnership with diverse actors, 3) is grounded in evidence and learning, and 4) uses a gender lens. Last year, we improved the lives of 19 million people globally. Mercy Corps manages programs in 43 countries. Working in Nigeria since 2012, Mercy Corps works across 11 states with a focus on the Middle Belt and Northern states through partnerships with USAID, DfID, GHR Foundation, Nike Foundation, MasterCard, and the Foundation for Partnerships in the Niger Delta (PIND). Mercy Corps links peace-building with economic development, focusing on vulnerable populations such as adolescent girls.

Mercy Corps proposes to conduct a vulnerability and capacity assessment (VCA) in three states in Northern Nigeria to better understand the drivers and levers for positive change amidst the sea of ongoing challenges.

VCAs provide a methodology to answer the four key questions to resilience - Resilience to what? Resilience for whom? Resilience for what? Resilience through what? The VCA will help to identify weaknesses in key socio-ecological systems and potential future hazards that may exacerbate such weaknesses; and therefore helping to create a baseline from which changes in resilience can be measured.

Rather than viewing a VCA as a single assessment, Mercy Corps sees VCAs as a well-coordinated series of assessments. These may use established tools or be designed for a specific purpose. Used together they help to develop an understanding of the complex systems communities operate within.

Mercy Corps has developed a vulnerability assessment methodology that aims to understand vulnerability across scales. As such, information will be collected and analysed at the community, regional, and national level. Data driven, top-down, assessments will be complimented by qualitative, bottom-up information collected from communities and stakeholders from across the region.

In developing a vulnerability assessment of Northern Nigeria, Mercy Corps seeks to meet the following objectives:

1. Inform the development of a broad strategy to reduce chronic poverty for Northern Nigeria.
2. Influence the funding strategies of Northern Nigeria for DFID and other major donors.
3. Identify potential partners and better understand their capacities.
4. Identify drivers of vulnerability to continue to monitor after the initial assessment is complete based on indicators designed in collaboration with DFID.
5. Build the capacity of the DFID country team to facilitate additional vulnerability assessment processes.
6. Contribute to the ongoing efforts of the Mercy Corps’ Resilience Initiative by helping to further understand how VCAs can contribute to resilience-building programmes.
