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.

JOB CONTEXT

On the 8 November 2013, “Haiyan” the most violent typhoon of the year (as known as “Yolanda”) hit the Philippines with winds of 300km/h . More than 4, 000 people were killed and hundreds are still missing. Government estimates that over 13 million of people were affected by Haiyan out a total population of 96 millions, and more than 4 million people are currently displaced. Leyte province, Eastern Samar, Panay province are the most devastated areas. Around 1 million houses are damaged even totally destroyed and 1.500 evacuation centers are sheltering more than 80 000 families. 2,5million of people are in need of live-saving food assistance. There is still an important lack of food, drinkable water, shelter, health care (lack of basics cares but also specifics cares for children and for pregnant & lactating women). Moreover, so many diseases are going to spread around population as diarrhea, tetanus, leptopsirosi because care centers and hospital are not still all operational and don’t allow to injured people to obtain the cares they need. At the arrival of the international humanitarian aid on the field, there were several difficulties. Actually, the geographical situation was maybe the most important difficulty. Because of the damaged airports, it was very hard to humanitarian actors to join some areas though the most affected and to provide the aid. Moreover, the ways of communication were totally destroyed after the typhoon in many provinces so it was impossible to evaluate the situation of those areas and to communicate about it. The assessment of the most impacted areas took time and was a brake to the aid’s delivery. Currently, international aid is deployed all around the affected areas but so many people are still waiting for this aid, particularly the most vulnerable people and the injured people.

A first rapid assessment was conducted from November 18th to November 20th in four Municipalities of Iloilo province. HI team intervene immediately with the distribution of emergency shelters for 3,500 people in Batad municipality. As a concentration of INGO and governmental presence was observe in Iloilo province mainly on the coastal area, HI assessment team decided to follow the path of the typhoon and carry out a second assessment from November 29th to December 3rd in inland areas non assessed by other actors in Capiz Province. The conclusion of the assessment highlighted Sigma Municipality and its barangays for 3 main reasons:- Few humanitarian actors present in Sigma- High level of damages and considerable needs in shelter, food and livelihood were recorded- Additional vulnerability due to floods and sensitive zone in the western border of the municipality.

This intervention is conducted following 2 main axes:1. Ensure that the most vulnerable families have access to cash grants in selected barangays to rebuild their shelter and meet other basic needs2. Ensure that community level capacity to rebuild or repair typhoon damaged houses with inclusive build back better techniques has increased

The action targets households and individuals from Typhoon Haiyan affected areas. More specifically, the action targets the affected populations who are living in the remote areas and those who were underserved by the emergency relief in the typhoon aftermath. - 200 vulnerable families (a min of 1,000 persons) will have access to cash grant and construction technical support - 50 local builders (majority of carpenters) will benefit from cash for training on build back better principles and construction techniques including accessibility and from the distribution of an individual tool box to support their activity. - A minimum of 634 households (2239 inhabitants) from minimum 2 targeted barangays will have access to sensitization on inclusion and build back better principles and techniques including accessibility

Organization: Médecins du Monde
Country: Pakistan
Closing date: 30 Nov 2013

For more than 30 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies. Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM currently works in 46 countries across all continents where it focuses on 4 priority areas: caring for the health of migrants and displaced persons, promoting sexual and reproductive health, combating HIV and reducing the harm and risks associated with drug use, crises and conflicts.

Médecins du Monde is an international humanitarian organisation providing medical care to vulnerable populations affected by war, natural disasters, disease, famine, poverty or exclusion. Although Médecins du Monde’s primary aim is to provide medical care, our work goes further to ensure long-lasting effectiveness. We draw our experience on the ground to bear witness to obstacles to healthcare and to advocate for change.

MdM has been working in Pakistan since 1996. The organization currently implements 2 main projects:

•A post emergency program focusing on access to health care for the populations afflicted by the conflict in KPK and/or natural disasters.Since May 2009, the Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa province (KPK, ex-North West Frontier Province) experienced several crises which resulted in massive displacements of populations.The health system in KPK, and in particular in the areas where a large number of IDPs have settled, appears to be over-burdened and unable to respond to the increased demand. MdM is operating in 4 districts of KPK (Kohat, Hangu, Tank and Peshawar) and implements both short-term or long-term response according to the needs and IDPs movements in the province.

•A long term program focusing on Gender based violence in Punjab provinceThe Social Welfare Department (SWD) of Punjab Province has dedicated a specific institution, the Dar-ul-Aman (DUA) i.e “House of Peace” in support to women victim of violence in early 80s. The DUA is a temporary shelter for those women who feel that their security is at stake or need an alternative residence, as under threat. The collaboration between MdM and SWD related to the support to DUAs has started in 2004, when DUAs were existing in 8 districts of Punjab only. These shelter homes were rather overcrowded sub-jails facing challenging hygienic conditions, where care and support services for women and their children were not available and abuse of residents by staff was frequently reported. MDM has been piloting the effectiveness and acceptance of multidisciplinary services to DUA’s resident by providing medical, legal and psychological support while progressively scaling up from 8 to 34 DUAs (one per province districts). In 2012, MdM and SWD agreed to incorporate a protection component to the current project. The phasing out strategy the project has been extended accordingly until end of December 2014.
