Cameroon: Consultant International pour le développement du système de gestion des données sur les infrastructures d’approvisionnement en eau potable et d’assainissement liquide du Cameroun

$

Organization: UN Children's Fund
Country: Cameroon
Closing date: 22 Mar 2017

If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world's leading children's rights organization would like to hear from you.

For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children's survival, protection and development. The world's largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

BACKGROUND

Face aux effets néfastes dus au manque, à l'insuffisance et/ou à l'inadéquation des infrastructures d'eau potable et d'assainissement de base, et surtout à la récurrence des maladies d'origine hydrique notamment le choléra, il est urgent que des actions d'envergure soient entreprises. Ceci passe forcément par une prise de conscience de toutes les parties prenantes et une priorisation des besoins majeurs dans les sous-secteurs de l'eau potable et de l'assainissement liquide pour leur intégration effective dans les différentes stratégies de développement du pays. Dans le secteur de l'approvisionnement en eau potable et l'assainissement liquide comme dans bien d'autres, la prise de toute bonne décision dépend de la qualité de la connaissance de la situation qui prévaut sur le terrain. D'où, la nécessité de disposer des données aussi exhaustives et structurées que possible. C'est dans cette optique que le Ministère de l'Eau et de l'Energie (MINEE) a réalisé l'inventaire des ouvrages d'hydraulique et d'assainissement liquide sur l'ensemble du territoire national.

Bien que donnant une idée globale de l'état de l'offre en infrastructures, l'inventaire est limité de par son caractère ponctuel. Il ne donne que la photographie à un moment donné sur la situation des ouvrages et ne peut donc pas constituer un référentiel de qualité pour la gestion du secteur. Par ailleurs, les données de l'inventaire ne couvrent pas l'ensemble des besoins informationnels nécessaires à la prise de décision.

Pour combler les gaps existant et systématiser la production de l'information statistique nécessaire à la gestion des politiques, programmes et projets d'hydraulique et d'assainissement, le Ministère en charge de l'Eau a entamé la mise en place d'un mécanisme de gestion des données des ouvrages d'Approvisionnement en Eau Potable, Hygiène et d'Assainissement liquide (AEPHA). Il est attendu que ce système améliore la disponibilité et l'instantanéité de l'information pour permettre aux gestionnaires du secteur de prendre des décisions managériales sur la base des évidences tirées des données exhaustives et fiables. Ainsi, la qualité de la planification et l'investissement permettront de combler le déficit existant. Le système apportera contribuera aussi à améliorer l'équité dans l'allocation des ressources et la distribution des infrastructures d'hydraulique et d'assainissement à travers le territoire national.

La base de données s'appuiera sur le mécanisme actuel de collecte et de gestion des données sur les ouvrages. Dans le cadre de son programme d'action 2017, le Programme de Coopération Cameroun – UNICEF recherche un Consultant international pour accompagner le développement de cette base de données.

    Date de prise de fonction souhaitée : 08/05/2017
    Durée de la mission : 06 mois, renouvelables
    Localisation : Garoua Boulai, Cameroun

    Que faisons-nous au Cameroun?

    Depuis 2014, le Cameroun est confronté à une grave crise de réfugiés en provenance de la République Centrafricaine (RCA). En décembre 2015, plus de 250 000 réfugiés de RCA sont enregistrés au Cameroun dans les régions de l’Est, de l’Adamaoua et du Nord, dont plus de 150 000 arrivés depuis janvier 2014. Parmi ces réfugiés, plus de 170,000 personnes sont arrivées dans la seule région de l’Est, dispersées sur 5 sites et au sein de la communauté hôte.

    Dans la partie septentrionale, le pays fait face aux exactions de la secte islamique Boko Haram, qui causé la mort à des milliers des personnes dans la région du bassin du lac Tchad et forcé plusieurs personnes à abandonner leur villages, pillés et brulés par les Boko Haram. On dénombre à près de 198, 889 pour le Cameroun et 2 444 814 pour l’ensemble des pays (Nigéria, Cameroun, Tchad et Niger).

    SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) a décidé d’ouvrir une mission au Cameroun après une évaluation menée en juin 2014, et a commencé des activités financées par le HCR en juillet 2014 à l’Est du pays.

    La mission s’articule aujourd’hui autour d’activités en Eau, Hygiène et Assainissement (EHA) dans le camp de réfugiés de Gado (Gado 1 et 2), ainsi que sur l’axe Garoua Boulai – Ndokayo dans les villages hôtes ainsi que d’activités Sécurité Alimentaire et Moyens d’Existence (SAME) qui prennent une place prépondérante dans la programmation 2017.

    SI ouvre actuellement une base dans le Logone et Chari en janvier 2017, à l’issue de deux diagnostiques multisectoriels menés en juillet/août et novembre/décembre 2016. Les activités auront une approche urgentiste, dans un contexte sécuritaire volatil malgré des progrès réalisés depuis plus d’une année par les forces multilatérales contre Boko Haram nouvellement baptisé EIAO.

    SI prospecte avec d’autres organisations pour continuer la dynamique de consortium établi en 2015 et plusieurs bailleurs déjà identifiés seront sollicités (HCR, UNICEF, OFDA, Fonds Canadien, BPRM) pour améliorer les conditions de vie des populations de l’Est et de l’extrême nord du Cameroun.

    Serbia: International Expert on Territorial Audits for Employment Generation and Formalization of Employment

    $

    Organization: UN Development Programme
    Country: Serbia
    Closing date: 22 Mar 2017

    Background:

    Inclusive and sustainable growth in Kosovo cannot be attained without local administrations, entrepreneurs, farmers, and local communities deploying their energies and resources in a coordinated way. Instead of simply juxtaposing national and sectoral strategies coming from the central level, more efforts should be made to ensure that local stakeholders are networking together to overcome specific development challenges in their territory, that there is limited depreciation of the local human capital pool, and that growth patterns are more inclusive.

    The Integrated Territorial Development 2 project is three-year project that builds on the successes of the ADC-UNDP’s “Local-level Response for Employment Generation and Integrated Territorial Development (InTerDev1)” project that has been implemented in southern Kosovo’s municipalities of Dragash/Dragaš and Shtërpcë/Štrpce since 2014. InTerDev 2 will continue to alleviate some of the paramount challenges citizens of not only the partner municipalities, but of Kosovo in general, face: high rate and long spells of unemployment, lack of decent income generation, poor public services, as well as socioeconomic exclusion of women, youth, and other vulnerable groups. The project will continue to utilize tested methodologies and will expand its services to a new municipality of Viti/Vitina in the south-east of Kosovo. With the overall objective that inclusive and sustainable income generation and job creation for women and men is improved in the municipalities of Dragash/Dragaš, Shtërpcë/Štrpce, and Viti/Vitina, the project’s purpose is to enhance municipal public service provision in rural development and, in a gender equitable, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable manner, expand economic activity of local micro and small businesses.

    It is expected that as a result of project’s three core pillars of activities, 1) municipal officials have enhanced capacities in provision of services in rural development; 2) local micro and small enterprises and farmers have been supported to upgrade their businesses; and 3) bottom-up approaches and local-level concertation for employment generation in the form of Territorial Employment Pacts operate at the municipal level. The Territorial Employment Pacts (TEPs) in Dragash/Dragaš and Shtërpcë/Štrpce implemented in the InTerDev phase 1, have proven to be a successful approach not only in income generation and job creation on the local level, but also in enhancing municipal leadership and cooperation with the private sector and civil society, capacity development, and local ownership over the intervention. In addition to the jobs created and improved productivity of the local private sector, the TEPs contribute to a change in attitude in the municipalities whereby public servants feel more accountable to citizens and understand the benefits of participatory pro-cesses and cooperation.

    This TOR relates to expected result 3) bottom-up approaches and local-level concertation for employment generation in the form of Territorial Employment Pacts operate at the municipal level.

    Territorial Employment Pacts (TEPs), the core of Output 3, are results of “negotiated planning” where different actors at the local and national level assume complementary and interconnected roles and responsibilities in view of local economic and rural development and employment generation objectives. The fundamental strength of the TEPs lies in the fact that the design, as well as the delivery and monitoring of the numerous elements of the Pacts are done in a participatory and inclusive manner, leveraging the potential within the local context of each territory. The Local Action Groups pay a leading role in the implementation of TEPs and are formed of relevant representatives of municipality structures (including the official for gender equality), private sector and CSOs.

    Objectives of Assignment

    Territorial Audits conducted and Territorial Employment Pacts developed for target municipalities.

    Description of Responsibilities:

    One experienced consultant will be hired to develop three Territorial Employment Pacts (TEP), one in each municipality. For the Municipalities of Dragash/Dragaš and Shtërpcë/Strpce, the existing Territorial Employment Pacts shall be considered during the design phase. The consultant will meet all relevant stakeholders from the public sector, private sector, civil society organisation, business centres and equivalent, to design interventions under the TEP that meet the characteristics of the context. Three TEPs will be developed in a participatory manner and will be shared with the stakeholders. The design will be unique to each municipality, but will most likely focus around interventions that relate to skills development, generation of employment, self-employment and micro business upgrade.

    The consultant will develop a concrete plan of action that will, through skills development of targeted individuals, provide opportunities for employment and self-employment in the municipalities of Dragash/Dragaš, Štrpce/Shtërpcë and Viti/Vitina, mainly focusing on individuals at risk of economic and social exclusion. The aim is to raise the awareness of stakeholders on the issues and solutions that their community face and establish a system of communication between the public sector in one hand and the private sector, civil society and the communities in the other. Keeping similar elements in the various TEP service lines, the two municipal TEPs for Dragash/Dragaš and Shtërpcë/Štrpce will be expanded on a basis of a participatory assessment of what current potential exists in the two municipalities. The TEP for Viti/Vitina will be designed in the same inclusive and consultative manner for the first time.

    More specifically, the consultant will conduct:

    • A desk review of relevant documents and mapping of relevant issues related to skills needs, employment generation and economic development; (3 w/days)

    Durée de la mission : 06 mois
    Localisation : Garoua Boulai, Cameroun

    Que faisons-nous au Cameroun?

    Depuis 2014, le Cameroun est confronté à une grave crise de réfugiés en provenance de la République Centrafricaine (RCA). En décembre 2015, plus de 250 000 réfugiés de RCA sont enregistrés au Cameroun dans les régions de l’Est, de l’Adamaoua et du Nord, dont plus de 150 000 arrivés depuis janvier 2014. Parmi ces réfugiés, plus de 170,000 personnes sont arrivées dans la seule région de l’Est, dispersées sur 5 sites et au sein de la communauté hôte.

    Dans la partie septentrionale, le pays fait face aux exactions de la secte islamique Boko Haram, qui causé la mort à des milliers des personnes dans la région du bassin du lac Tchad et forcé plusieurs personnes à abandonner leur villages, pillés et brulés par les Boko Haram. On dénombre à près de 198, 889 pour le Cameroun et 2 444 814 pour l’ensemble des pays (Nigéria, Cameroun, Tchad et Niger).

    SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) a décidé d’ouvrir une mission au Cameroun après une évaluation menée en juin 2014, et a commencé des activités financées par le HCR en juillet 2014 à l’Est du pays.

    A l’Est du pays, SI oriente l’ensemble de ses activités dans les zones vers l’autonomisation et le renforcement de la résilience des populations bénéficiaires. Ceci s’explique par la diminution progressive de l’intérêt de bailleurs de fonds pour l’Est et la volonté pour SI d’assurer la pérennité des activités qu’elle a jusqu’ici développées. C’est dans ce sens que la stratégie 2017 vise le renforcement des acteurs locaux, les communes et les CGPE notamment dans le domaine de l’EHA ainsi que l’approche filière et l’augmentation des activités génératrices de revenu dans le domaine de la SAME.

    SI ouvre actuellement une base dans le Logone et Chari en janvier 2017, à l’issue de deux diagnostiques multisectoriels menés en juillet/août et novembre/décembre 2016. Les activités auront une approche urgentiste, dans un contexte sécuritaire volatil malgré des progrès réalisés depuis plus d’une année par les forces multilatérales contre Boko Haram nouvellement baptisé EIAO.

    SI prospecte avec d’autres organisations pour continuer la dynamique de consortium établi en 2015 et plusieurs bailleurs déjà identifiés seront sollicités (HCR, UNICEF, OFDA, Fonds Canadien, BPRM) pour améliorer les conditions de vie des populations de l’Est et de l’extrême nord du Cameroun.
