NGO PRESENTATION

Handicap International is an independent and impartial international aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, our action and testimony are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights.

Through its Emergency Response Department (ERD), created in 2006 after the merge with Atlas Logistique, the organization is committed to:? Provide an adequate response to major natural disaster and conflict situations, anywhere in the world as much as possible within 72 hours; ? Provide assistance to vulnerable groups (refugees, IDPs, persons with injuries, elders, children, etc.) affected by a crisis and maximize the number of beneficiaries. Within vulnerable groups, target especially PwD and meet their specific needs; ? Constantly monitor chronic crises and/or conflicts to ensure preparedness for and rapid response to eventual emerging needs.

JOB CONTEXT

A critical humanitarian situationIn January 2014, after more than 1000 days of conflict, the death toll in Syria is estimated to have reached 130,000 persons . According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), around 9.3 million people, nearly half the population, are in need of humanitarian assistance, with among them more than 6,5 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 2,3 million refugees in neighboring countries.Moreover, amongst those victims of the conflict, an estimation of 8% (figures average from the UNHCR for refugees in neighboring countries, excluding elders – if inclusion of Syrian IDPs and elderly, estimation would likely rise to between 15% and 20%) of them would be in an alarming situation of vulnerability, in terms of protection, access to basic services and in terms of coverage of their specific needs. Persons with mental or physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases, elders, children head of households are in a critical situation, experiencing difficulties to access to already scare humanitarian resources.The situation of injured is also at stake. For those of them having benefited from emergency health care in Syria or host countries, facing the unavailability or lack of access to post-surgery services is likely to have a devastating impact on the prevention of further impairments, or to adapt to a new and challenging environment.

Summary of Mission Handicap International: Syrian CrisisAfter a first round of assessment on March 2012, HI emergency department is implementing since May 15th an emergency intervention for the most vulnerable people affected by the Syrian crisis in Jordan and Lebanon, funded by ECHO, CIDA and DFID, and aiming at supporting persons with injuries and other vulnerable groups (including persons with disabilities). HI is until now the only organization to address those issues through community outreach, and benefits from the trust of both communities’ representatives, local stakeholders and other field implementing organizations.Since December 2012, HI is implanting rehabilitation project in North Syria. Simultaneously, after a technical assessment in Jordan and a rapprochement with ERW (Explosive Remnants of War) management authorities, the National Committee for Demining and Rehabilitation (NCDR), HI decided to launch a first risk education project addressing both Syrian refugees and local host populations living at the Syrian border.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

Activities in Syria The violence in Syria has caused the death of more than 100,000 people and more than 6 million Syrians fled their homes. Syria has become "a disgraceful humanitarian calamity with suffering and displacement unparalleled in recent history”.

1.The needsPost-surgery follow-up is almost non-existent. Accurate data is lacking, however, the number of injured people in Syria is estimated to exceed 600,000. Persons with injuries, together with persons with disabilities, are presenting complications that, without appropriate rehabilitation care, can lead to death or to permanent impairments and long-term disability. Psychosocial distress: MHPSS is almost unaddressed until now. Basic needs coverage: Limited resources coupled with the challenging operational context jeopardize the adequate coverage of basic needs of conflict-affected populations inside Syria. Food is the 1st need of the 6.8 people in need in all Syrian governorates. Household Essential Items are unaffordable.Conventional weapons risk awareness: populations – notably children - are facing the threat of unexploded remnants of war. HI estimates that 10% to 15% of cluster munitions used by both sides of the conflict are yet unexploded. Urban settings are generally the most affected. Capacity building of the Syrian Civil Society Organizations (SCSOs): After more than two years operating on the field, some of the SCSOs developed significant operational capabilities or potential but they still request training and expertise download when approaching HI.

Democratic Republic of the Congo: Responsable de projet Plateforme Mobile d’Urgence - RDC - DAU - Handicap International

Organization: Handicap International
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Closing date: 14 Mar 2014

PRESENTATION DE L’ONG

Handicap International est une organisation de solidarité internationale indépendante et impartiale, qui intervient dans les situations de pauvreté et d'exclusion, de conflits et de catastrophes. Œuvrant aux côtés des personnes handicapées et des personnes vulnérables, elle agit et témoigne pour répondre à leurs besoins essentiels et améliorer leurs conditions de vie. Handicap International s'engage à promouvoir le respect de leur dignité et de leurs droits fondamentaux. Depuis sa création en 1982, Handicap International a mis en place des programmes de développement dans plus de 60 pays, et intervient dans de nombreuses situations d'urgence.

Handicap International est une organisation à but non lucratif, sans affiliation politique ou confessionnelle. Elle repose sur un réseau d’associations structurées en Fédération, œuvrant de manière constante à la mobilisation des ressources, à la cogestion des projets et au rayonnement des principes et actions de l'organisation. Handicap International est une des six associations fondatrices de la campagne internationale pour interdire les mines (ICBL), co-lauréate du prix Nobel de la paix 1997.

Sous le pilotage de la Direction de l’Action d’Urgence (DAU), issue de la fusion en 2006 avec Atlas Logistique, l’organisation s’engage à :- Fournir une réponse adéquate lors des catastrophes naturelles et des situations de conflit, partout dans le monde, autant que possible ans les 72 h suivant le déclenchement de la crise ; - Apporter une assistance aux populations déplacées, réfugiées et sinistrées en raison des conflits ou des catastrophes, et en leur sein aux personnes blessées et handicapées ; - Assurer une veille permanente des crises chroniques et/ou conflits pour garantir une réponse rapide aux éventuels besoins d’urgence qui pourraient survenir.

Directement rattaché(e) à la Direction de l’Action d’Urgence de Handicap International, l’expatrié(e) sera mandaté(e) pour la mission suivante :

CONTEXTE GEOPOLITIQUE

Après de longues années de guerre, si la République Démocratique du Congo poursuit son chemin sur la voie de la stabilisation, avec des progrès constatés dans plusieurs domaines, une grande partie de la population reste extrêmement vulnérable, exposée à des risques de deux ordres :

¦ Des crises de natures diverses: attaques de groupes armés, violations du Droit International Humanitaire et des Droits Humains, déplacement de populations (environ 1.64 millions de déplacés internes à fin septembre 2011), conflits fonciers et intercommunautaires et désastres naturels sont les principaux facteurs de crises, chroniques ou soudaines, qui affectent de nombreuses parties du pays. En 2011, ce tableau s’est encore assombri avec la résurgence d’épidémies, dont les plus meurtrières furent la rougeole (dans tout le pays) et le choléra (en divers endroits, notamment le long du fleuve Congo).

¦ Une pauvreté et une précarité générales: les indicateurs de base restent alarmants, dans les secteurs de la santé, de l’eau, hygiène et assainissement, de la malnutrition, de la sécurité alimentaire, et de l’éducation. Dans de nombreuses zones, les services de l’Etat sont encore insuffisants pour répondre aux besoins et les infrastructures routières délabrées ne permettent pas l’accès à certaines populations.

La combinaison de ces éléments augmente la vulnérabilité de beaucoup de Congolais.

CONTEXTE DE LA MISSION

La Direction de l’Action d’Urgence de Handicap International a mené depuis janvier 2009 un projet de soutien logistique aux opérations d'urgence en faveur des populations sinistrées dans les territoires du Grand Nord, Béni et Lubéro. Cette opération avait pour objectifs principaux de faciliter la réactivité des partenaires humanitaires en les soulageant des contraintes logistiques (stockage et transport) liées à leurs interventions d’urgence.

Aujourd’hui, la Direction de l’Action d’Urgence est présente au Nord Kivu uniquement, avec une base à Goma et une autre à Walikalé. Au regard de la situation humanitaire régressive dans la province du Nord Kivu il a été décidé d’adapter la stratégie afin de mieux répondre aux besoins des partenaires et de développer l’expertise sur les besoins spécifiques à l’est de la RDC. Par conséquent, la mission maintient son engagement sur son programme logistique actuel et met en place un projet « relai handicap et vulnérabilité », dans les camps en périphérie de Goma qui a débuté le 15 octobre 2013 et prendra fin en juillet 2014.

Fiji: International VAW Data Analyst, Cook Islands, Nauru, Marshall Islands and Palau (Pacific Island Countries)

Organization Unit UNFPA Pacific Sub-Regional Office, Suva, Fiji

TERMS OF REFERENCE

Background

The United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA, addresses violence against women and girls (VAW) as a human rights violation and a public health priority, and recognizes that VAW is inextricably linked to gender-based inequalities. In the many countries where UNFPA has a presence, it has supported the building up of VAW-expertise, leadership and credibility, from organizing catalytic data collection and piloting multi-sectoral service networks and strategic partnerships to supporting the formulation of national laws and policies and spearheading public awareness raising and social mobilization campaigns. In the Pacific, UNFPA has its Pacific Sub-Regional Office in Suva, Fiji, which covers 14 Pacific Island countries and provides support to the UNFPA PNG Country Office.

A major obstacle to developing national policies and strategies for eliminating and addressing VAW, sound programmes, monitoring and evaluation, and tracking for accountability is the lack of reliable and comparable data on VAW. Within UNFPA and the UN system, the need for national VAW data is given high priority, as is evident from the current 2008-2015 UN Secretary General Campaign UNiTE To End Violence Against Women, where data collection on VAW is one of the five priority outcomes.

UNFPA has supported the governments to develop national policies for eliminating VAW with strategies for implementation. Immediate interventions included dissemination of the findings and multi-sectoral responses to VAW at the national levels. With the successful completion of the studies in Samoa, Solomon Islands and Kiribati, other countries in the Pacific have expressed great interest in undertaking similar research in their country on VAW, using the WHO methodology. UNFPA Pacific Sub-Regional Office is supporting VAW national prevalence research in five Pacific Island countries: Cook Islands, Nauru, Palau, Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and Federated States of Micronesia.

Bangladesh: International Consultant – Marketing Strategy and Intervention Areas for Agro-products (Under Agriculture and Food Security Project (AFSP-II)

Organization: UN Development Programme
Country: Bangladesh
Closing date: 19 Oct 2013

Agriculture and Food Security Project (AFSP) II in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) started in July 2013 for a period of 5 years following successful implementation of AFSP I and demonstrated results in increasing production and income of farmers and it is one of the components of Danida-funded programme called Agricultural Growth and Employment Programme (AGEP). Other components are (i) Integrated Farm Management Component (IFMC) and (ii) Agro Business Development Component (ABDC). The AFSP II is implemented by UNDP-CHTDF (Chittagong Hill Tracts Development Facility) and it focuses on Integrated Farm Management through Farmer Field School (FFS) approach across the CHT where, marketing for agro-products is one of the areas.

CHT, located in the south-eastern part of Bangladesh, comprises of three districts. The rough terrain, remoteness and various socio-political issues associated with a protracted conflict have seriously impeded the economic development of the region. The area of CHT is about 13,000 square miles with a total population of 1.5 million. It is the home of 11 ethnic indigenous groups - and the mainstream Bengalees. CHT is a post conflict area with a history of over 2 decades arm conflict that ended through signing of peace accord (commonly known as ‘’CHT Peace Accord”) in 1997.

The economy of CHT is very much centred on traditional agriculture and forest resources. The agricultural practices in CHT are dominated by topography of hilly terrain and traditional practices. The jhum (shifting cultivation) cultivation has been a pre-dominant agricultural practice – particularly among the indigenous communities. However, due to low return currently the jhum farmers are looking for other agricultural practices – particularly horticulture and different cash crops. In the valleys (along the main rivers e.g. Feni, Chengi, Mayeni, Kasalong, Matmuhuri, Sangu etc.) pady and vegetables are the main agricultural products. Usually, the major crops grown in the CHT are rice, banana, sesame, pulses, till, gourds, mustard, sweet potato, potato, turmeric, ginger, cucumber, sweet potato, ladies fingers, brinjal, tobacco, chilly, jack fruit, guava, papaya, cashew-nut, cotton, maize, pineapple, lemon and orange etc. Apart from the crops livestock (cattle, goat, local chicken and pig) rearing is also widely practiced in CHT and it is found one of popular options for the farmers for its good economic return and relatively easier management. Bangladesh Yearbook of Agricultural Statistics shows that 90% of all oranges, 63% of maize, 28% of till, 23% of ginger and 16% of turmeric marketed in Bangladesh originates from CHT. However, the bulk of other agricultural production is for subsistence and relatively small quantities enter the marketing channels.

Background:The experience of AFSP I demonstrated that the FFS approach is effective to increase agricultural production. However, marketing of the products remained challenging and as a result the farmers received relatively low return and ultimately they are not interested for higher volume of production – particularly in remote places. Remoteness and poor accessibility hampers perishable product marketing and therefore, farmers concentrate mainly on subsistence production. On the other, lack of entrepreneurial skills of the farmers and middle men domination in the market contributes to lower market price for the farmers. Apart from above mentioned marketing challenges small holdings and insecure land tenure also discourage big market actors or private investors to invest in CHT. As a result, the middle-man has a strong control in the market system and usually CHT agricultural products follow a long marketing-chain between the producer and consumer.

Given the challenges remain for marketing growth the CHT agriculture is potential for economic growth. The land is still fertile and proven for diversifying agricultural products. While a good quantity of plain land goes under water during summer the CHT summer vegetable has the strategic advantage. On the other, horticulture – particularly fruits production is growing up very quickly and many of the cases, the market direction has been reversed towards plains – while, the fruits used to come to CHT from outside. The road construction connecting the remote places and different infrastructure is growing up gradually which also helping for marketing growth in CHT.

Considering above situation, UNDP-CHTDF, through AFSP II project that aims to establish 1800 farmer field schools (FFS) in CHT and increasing agricultural production, has planned to work on agro product marketing which is expected to give more income to the rural farmers.
