Organization: Mercy Corps
Country: Libya
Closing date: 22 Nov 2013

Background:

Displacement continues to affect a significant proportion of the Libyan population, with a recent estimate placing the number of internally displaced people (IDPs) at approximately 74,000.[1] IDPs are necessarily more vulnerable to human rights abuses and neglect. More concretely, displacement of a group, family or individual often results in a number of interlinked protection concerns encompassing access to shelter, food and services, as well as lack of security and mobility, and family separation. Implementing an effective response is challenging in the current Libyan context. This is especially so because government leadership of social protection service provision is still developing. Moreover, national level protection policy is weak; moving toward a more robust protection framework requires both comprehensive alignment with international standards, as well as effective and consistent implementation at all levels.

Purpose / Project Description:

Mercy Corps intends to address local weaknesses in government protection mechanisms by supporting the key Libyan state humanitarian assistance agency, LibAid, to institutionalize a strengthened capacity to collect and analyze data on the protection environment for displaced, conflict-affected and other vulnerable groups and to address identified protection risks and needs. This support will be delivered through a capacity building strategy developed jointly with LibAid leadership. The joint development and commitment to the strategy by both Mercy Corps and LibAid will maximize the potential of the capacity building support provided by Mercy Corps to have an impact not only at the level of individual staff, but also at an institutional level. The formulation of the joint strategy also ensures that all of the capacity building activities included in the strategy can be approached in a cohesive fashion, with a consistent approach.

Consultant Objectives:

The Consultant will contribute to the realization of the objectives of the Mercy Corps-LibAid Joint Capacity Building Strategy. The strategy incorporates activities designed to strengthen not only the protection monitoring capacities of LibAid field staff and the data entry, analysis and reporting skills of LibAid staff in the Benghazi and Tripoli offices, but also the institutional capacity to sustain the outcomes of this targeted capacity building and use it as a basis for an enhanced response to identified protection risks and needs.

More specifically, the objectives of the strategy are threefold:

1) To build the capacity of LibAid and its partner LNGOs to collect data on the protection environment for displaced and other vulnerable groups

2) To build the capacity of LibAid to analyze and present data on the protection environment for displaced and other vulnerable groups,

3) To contribute to the institutionalization of the protection of conflict-affected displaced groups by government mechanisms in Libya

The Consultant will contribute to the achievement of the third objective, by significantly increasing the capacity of LibAid staff to understand and apply relevant international standards when implementing humanitarian response/relief for conflict-affected displaced and other vulnerable groups.

Consultant Activities:

The Consultant will:

• Develop and/or identify training materials, and provide them to Mercy Corps to facilitate the approval of the training content by LibAid.
• Respond to feedback from Mercy Corps/LibAid regarding the training materials and revise the materials accordingly, if required.
• Provide information regarding the logistical requirements for the delivery of two 4-day Sphere trainings for LibAid staff and, if required, participate in a joint meeting (may be held by skype) with Mercy Corps/LibAid to contribute to the finalization of logistic arrangements for the training.
• Contribute to the design of an impact evaluation survey for training participants, by providing feedback on a draft to be produced by Mercy Corps.
• Deliver two 4-day Sphere training courses for LibAid field staff (one in Tripoli and one in Benghazi), undertaking all facilitation for the trainings (logistical support will be provided by Mercy Corps in both locations).
• Contribute to the gathering of impact monitoring and evaluation data, by facilitating the distribution and collection of impact evaluation surveys to training participants, and handing over the surveys to Mercy Corps at the conclusion of the trainings.

Consultant Deliverables:

The Consultant will:

• Develop and/or identify proposed training materials applicable to the Sphere Handbook: Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response, and provide the materials to Mercy Corps/LibAid for review prior to the training. The training materials will include, but are not limited to (final content will be approved by LibAid):
  • Introduction to Sphere
  • Humanitarian Charter
  • Protection Principles
  • Explanation of Sphere Principles: WASH; Shelter and NFIs; Food Security and Nutrition; and, Health Action
  • Application of Sphere Principles in the Field (should include practical exercises)
• Deliver training materials revised in line with Mercy Corps/LibAid feedback.
• Provide a list of requirements regarding venue type/size/set up, production of training materials, stationary for participants, etc. for the delivery of two 4-day Sphere training courses.
• Provide written feedback on a draft impact evaluation survey produced by Mercy Corps in relation to the training courses, facilitate data collection and handover collected data to Mercy Corps.
• Deliver two 4-day Sphere training courses for LibAid field staff (one in Tripoli and one in Benghazi).
