Reporting and Social Integration Consultant, Nairobi

UNDP Somalia Rule of Law and Security Programme (ROLS) is comprised of three main components that are programmatically and operationally linked. The project components are: access to justice, civilian policing, and community safety (DDR/AVR). The Community Safety (DDR/AVR) project in Somalia evolved from a previous DDR and small arms control project. It seeks to complement the institutional focus on the justice and security sector by fostering a partnership between the community and authorities for the provision of security. This partnership lies at the heart of security sector governance. Specifically, the project has helped establish a coherent peace-building infrastructure in the Somali region, connecting District Safety Committees under the District Councils with a national-level Peace-building Unit, and a neutral and non-political Somali Observatory of Conflict and Violence Prevention.

This infrastructure can now be used to implement various peace-building initiatives such as “Engaging with Somali Youth at-Risk through Community Security.” The so-called “Youth at-Risk” project is a joint initiative of UNDP, UNICEF and ILO which seeks to contain and prevent violent conflict by engaging youth at risk through the creation of employment and livelihood opportunities at the district level. A caseload of 2000 youth will be targeted in 2011, to be shared between three to five target districts where all three agencies are deployed. While the District Safety Committees are involved in the selection of the caseload and the follow up of the initiative, the Observatory will contribute to the peace-building curriculum and help monitor the impact of the initiative on indicators of violence.

UNDP's role is to identify youth engaged in armed activities, bring them into the programme, develop and implement a peace-building curriculum complementing ILO's support for vocational training, life skills based education and labour-intensive projects, and ensure the overall coordination of the programme. Particular care will be taken to tailor the peace-building curriculum to the profile of youth at-risk found in each target district. Importantly, UNDP will also develop an appropriate case management system to define criteria for continuous participation of individual youth in the programme, monitor attendance and compliance with these criteria, and offer a mentoring system for beneficiaries.

The consultant will develop a field monitoring and reporting system to feed into all reporting requirements (inter and intra organizational, donor, and public press releases). This particularly provides support to the headquarters Community Security (DDR/AVR) Office to fulfill its responsibilities to the programme.
