“Leadership for Results” Workshop Coordinator& “Climate Action Intelligence” Coordinator; information collection and analysis support.

Climate change threatens the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. African countries contribute only about 3.8% of total greenhouse gas emissions, but are disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change. In April 2008, African Ministers of Finance committed to “effectively integrate and implement climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies into “national and regional development frameworks”. Most African governments are yet to develop adaptive policies to: i) protect climate-sensitive public goods, such as water supply and costal protection; ii)adjust fiscal and regulatory policy to create private sector incentives for adaptation; and iii) establish performance standards and codes so that private and public investments of long-lived capital and infrastructure remain robust under future climate.
In 2009 UNDP launched a US$ 92.1 million Climate Change Adaptation Programme for the African continent, titled “Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa” (hereafter called the Programme). Under this Programme supported by the Government of Japan, UNDP will assist 20 countries across the African continent in incorporating climate change risks and opportunities into national development processes to secure development gains under a changing climate.
The Programme aims to achieve the following key outcomes:
  • Countries have introduced dynamic, long-term planning mechanism to cope with the inherent uncertainties of climate change.
  • Countries have built leadership and developed institutional frameworks to manage climate change risks and opportunities in an integrated manner at the local and national levels.
  • Countries are implementing climate-resilient policies and measures in priority sectors.
  • Financing options to meet national adaptation costs have been expanded at the local, national, sub-regional and regional levels.
  • Knowledge on adjusting national development processes to fully incorporate climate change risks and opportunities is being generated and shared across all levels.

By December 2009, most countries had completed the drafting of their AAP Project Document and by September all countries had conducted an Inception Workshop for their project. However, actual implementation has been unsatisfactory in many countries and only a few have managed to demonstrate significant results as of December 2010. Most of the countries appear limited in their ability to implement the projects because of a number of critical issues. Specifically, there appears to be a general lack of inspirational leadership within Government, UNDP or even the NGO sector and there seems to be an absence of a compelling and inspirational vision of what “Climate Change” really means for the country and how to respond.

It has been recognized at the programme level of AAP, that the regional support component (IRTSC) can play a role in supporting the process of leadership development through an innovative programme entitled “Leadership for Results” (LRP). See attached appendix for an LRP overview.

Duties and Responsibilities

The Leadership Workshop Coordinator will support the work of the AAP regional expert for Institutions, Leadership and Capacity Development in the implementation of interventions designed to bring about transformative leadership development.

This assignment will entail working with the LRP Senior Advisor, the Country Office LRP Coordinator and the Task Team on all matters related to the successful organization and follow-up of workshops one, two and three. The goal is to effectively launch the LRP workshops in the host country so that it is an impactful learning experience in meeting the desired objectives.

In addition, the Coordinator will support – under the guidance of the CAI core team, the CAI consultants to be appointed by the UNDP CO and the AAP IRTSC CAI advisor- the implementation of “Climate Action Intelligence”(CAI), specifically in the area of data gathering and analysis. CAI is a pioneering software tool that collates data sets on any given topic (ie. who is doing what, where, when and why in climate change in Ethiopia) to enable decision-makers to better understand relationships, gaps and opportunities. CAI complements and enhances the effectiveness of the leadership programme and, as such, will be implemented in parallel.

The Coordinator will liaise regularly with the Senior Advisor on planning issues and progress. Specifically the coordinator will support, yet not be limited to, the following LRP activities:
Work in collaboration with the designated Coordinator and the Task Team (2 or 3 people) to administer these tasks as a team:

  • Adhere to the work process flow regarding event coordination and agreed upon roles.
  • Co-create a results matrix and collect data accordingly.
  • Procure a hotel venue space for 80-100 people and plan according to requirements.
  • Send tailored invite letters to each participant and respond to RSVP inquiries.
  • Contact all participants to confirm attendance.
  • Support the needs assessment focus groups as needed.
  • Research relevant in-country climate change information as required.
  • Support the payment of DSA via UNDP operational procedures.
  • Support the workshop preparation and registration process.
  • Assist with evaluation as agreed upon (ie. collecting feedback forms and compiling data).
  • Between workshops, check-in as agreed upon with breakthrough project teams.

Work in collaboration with the CAI planning team on the following tasks:

  • Project coordination support: support the CAI focal point in coordinating all activities pertaining to the launch of CAI in Ethiopia.
  • Information extraction: undertaking data extraction in formal documents (‘document mining’), updating media feeds.
  • Data generation: supporting the CAI core team with keeping a record of all CC players, projects and policies, conducting informal interviews to supplement evidence elicited from formal sources.
  • Intelligence visualization: supporting the CAI core team with updating the visual tools developed to capture this information.
  • Information and data analysis: supporting the CAI core team with analyzing the findings emanating from the dynamic action research process and compiling CAI briefing memos.
  • Information dissemination: supporting the CAI core team with updating the AAPleadership team and relevant stakeholders about the CAI analysis findings and generating, on request, communication materials required to communicate these findings for different audiences.
  • Other miscellaneous tasks as needed.

For the duration of the assignment, the information officer will form part of and support the ‘CAI core team’. He/she will work directly under the supervision of the CAI focal point.
