UNDP Community Capacity Enhancement Trainers

Community Conversations, an approach (methodology) developed by UNDP for application in the management of the HIV and AIDS pandemic, has been developed to help strengthen District and Community Responses to HIV & AIDS, but is applicable also to other issues and topics, including Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE). Community Conversations entail a process that encourages dialogue, creates space for mutual learning, fosters new perspectives and helps local communities mobilize around agreed actions. The process helps transform relationships and enhances the capacity of all involved. Community Conversations build on UNDP’s Leadership Development Programme, and it is hoped that by introducing Community Conversations as a tool for behavior change, greater impact will be made in the efforts towards gender equality and women’s empowerment.
This methodology is not new to Somalia - with the support of UNDP’s HIV & AIDS Regional Programme for Arab States (HARPAS) an orientation and training in the Community Conversations methodology took place in October 2010 in Ethiopia, and approximately 40 people from Somalia participated in this training, 20 from Somaliland and 20 from Puntland. Over the last two years, UNDP Somalia’s HIV Unit has worked with three NGOs to roll out this initiative in four districts identified as HIV ‘Hot Spots’ in Somaliland (Berbera and Togwachale) and Puntland (Garowe and Bosaso).
UNDP Somalia would now like to apply this methodology to its GEWE programme, and is looking for two experienced consultants in the Community Capacity Enhancement methodology (CCE) to advise on how the programme can be further developed and adapted to gender (and related topics such as SGBV, FGM, women’s economic rights, and women’s participation in decision-making and public life), as well as provide Training of Trainer services.
UNDP Somalia’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment programme has the dual mandate of mainstreaming gender considerations into existing UNDP Somalia projects and programmes, and also implements its own programming. One way the Gender Unit does this is through grants to local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Somaliland, Puntland and South Central Somalia, where they are carrying out advocacy and awareness raising on issues such as gender equality, women’s leadership, Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV), Female Genital Mutilation/Circumcision (FGM/C) and women’s political participation. Working with a range of organizations, activities are carried out at the community level through dialogues, inter-generational discussions, media campaigns and advocacy, working with religious leaders, clan and traditional elders, youth, IDP communities and the media. It is hoped that the methodology of Community Conversations can be shared with these CSOs, so that they may then engage in their communities more deeply and meaningfully, working to address gender inequality at the grassroots level.
