Civilian Police Project Evaluation consultant

Background

Organizational Context:

UNDP’s Rule of Law and Security (ROLS) Programme was established in 2002 to support the delivery of security and protection under the law for all Somalis, employing a human rights-based approach to security and justice sector development and reform. The Programme, currently in its third iteration (2008-2011) is delivered against a strategy and activities contained in the ROLS III programme document covering 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2011 and which builds on ROLS phases I and II which ran from 2002 to 2008.

In its third phase ROLS implemented its strategy through the following projects or project areas:

  • Civilian Police
  • Access to justice
  • Custodial Services
  • Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR), Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) and Small Arms Control (SAC)
  • Mine Action

Gender and human rights were to be integrated into all the project plans, with specific indicators and close monitoring.

In the course of the programme’s implementation two of its projects, namely Mine Action and the Custodial Services were handed over to the respective authorities in conjunction with the arrival of the relevant specialized UN Agencies, the UN Mine Action Services (UNMAS) and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) allowing it to better concentrate on the delivery of support for justice and security service delivery with locally-led processes. The DDR project for its part completed DDR activities in the North and phased into ‘second generation’ DDR employing an Armed Violence Reduction/Community Security approach appropriate to local Somali realities.

The ROLS III projects are being implemented in all three recognized regions in Somalia (South Central, Puntland and Somaliland), with a differentiated approach responding to the particular political and conflict characteristics and the emergence of new sources of violence and conflict that often escape external security development support which impact the daily life of people. In Somaliland and Puntland ROLS has maintained a consistent presence with a combination of national and international staff implementing a wide range of project activities with governmental and non-governmental counterparts in a DEX modality. In South Central Somalia prevailing security conditions in the past three years have signified that activities are largely limited to Mogadishu, although important gains were made in mobilizing community-based efforts to contain and analyze various forms of violence, as part of a more holistic approach to violence prevention.

The ROLS Programme is intending to undertake a broad evaluation of the third phase of execution and its associated projects. The evaluation will serve to provide an independent expert assessment of the implementation of the ROLS III Programme and will provide UNDP, its partners in Somalia, the UN and donors with a valuable assessment and recommendations for the further development of rule of law and security (Access to Justice, Police, DDR/AVR), programming in the changing context of the country, its regions and of international political engagement.

The evaluation is set to take place beginning June 2011.

Duties and Responsibilities

Overall the evaluation will:

  • Determine the extent to which the programme has been able to deliver against the main documented indicators contained in the ROLS III Programme Document and against the evolving situation and needs of each of the three Somali regions.
  • To this end, conduct an assessment of each of the ROLS projects to determine how far they have, individually and collective, contributed to the outcomes and indicators to date and the obstacles encountered.
  • Assess in depth how the projects have worked in a mutually complementary manner within a Rule of Law framework and with other Programmes in the UNDP Country Office as well as with other UN agencies.
  • Identify lessons and good practice, including programme and project management, risk management, approaches and processes for designing, preparing and implementing activities in the context of statelessness, weak government and ongoing violent conflict.
  • Assess the extent to which the projects have systematically assessed and develop the capacity of their partners.
  • Assess the value of relationships with governmental and non-governmental counterparts at federal, regional and local levels.
  • Assess the identified and unforeseen risks faced by the programme, the UN and the IC against the capacity of ROLS to adapt and manage those risks politically, programmatically, effectively and responsibly.
  • The review should be forward looking and make recommendations for future approaches to supporting rule of law and security programming in the Somali context so as to best contribute to the outcomes in a context-specific manner as laid out in UNDP’s new Country Programme Document for 2011 - 2015.
