PPOA now invites interested eligible consulting firms to express their interest in this assignment.
Interested eligible consulting firms should meet the following minimum requirements: -
1. Submit a relevant company profile of not more than 10 pages, evidence of registration/ incorporation, and a valid tax compliance certificate.
2. Interested eligible consulting firms should demonstrate the following which they will be evaluated on:

(b) Demonstrate awareness of the general developments related to the national procurement and disposal system including PPOA and its oversight role.
(c) Proof that they are a financially sound entity, by providing audited financial statements for the past two years.

Project Coordinator: Reporting, Communication, Monitoring & Evaluation (Local position)

Riche October 21, 2011 Communication , Coordinator 0 Comments

Reporting

I. Position Information

Job Title: Project Coordinator: Reporting, Communication, Monitoring & Evaluation (Local position) Department: Governance Unit Reports to: Project Manager, Somali Institutional Development Project (SIDP) Contract Type: Service Contract Current Grade: SC10

II. Organizational Context

The Governance Programme of UNDP Somalia consists of three pillars: (i) capacity building and institutional development, (ii) democratic governance (constitutional dialogue and elections) and (iii) local governance/decentralization. The three current legal frameworks under which Somalia is being ruled are the Transitional Federal Charter (2003), the Puntland Charter (1998) and the Somaliland Constitution (2001). The Joint Needs Assessment which was carried out in the first half of 2006 identified institution building as one of the major challenges in re-establishing trust in the state and enhancing capacity for development.

The Somali Institutional Development Project (SIDP) focuses on implementing the capacity building and institutional development part pillar of UNDP Somalia’s Governance portfolio. It works with the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the Somaliland and Puntland administrations to enable them to perform their functions effectively. This support has focused on four areas, namely: (a) policy and legislative development; (b) human resource management and development; (c) public administration and financial management; and (d) rehabilitation of infrastructure and provision of essential facilities and equipment. Progress has been made in these areas but a great deal more effort is required to bring the machinery of government to operate at a level which can enable the country to meet the aspirations of the Somali people, particularly in the key areas of public administration, public financial management and service delivery.

SIDP was established in 2009 as UNDP Somalia’s main contribution to capacity building across Somalia. Since then a new Country Programme Document (2009- 2011) for UNDP Somalia has been developed. 2011 is a vital year for the project as decisions will need to be made on how the project needs to be adapted both to the new Country Programme Document and any changes in the strategic direction of the governance portfolio. The new Country Programme Document also contains a new focus and outcome on gender equality and empowerment. SIDP needs to position itself to be able to adapt to these changes.

The SIDP project team operates with staff in Nairobi, Hargeisa (Somaliland) and Garowe (Puntland). It has agreements with over 20 public sector institutions across Somaliland, Puntland and South-Central Somalia. SIDP needs to improve the way it collects information on the results it is delivering, and the way it reports and communicates these results to a variety of audiences including the Somali public, donors and other parts of the UN family. This is in line with UNDP Somalia’s Country Programme Document (2011-2015) which commits UNDP to improve its results based management and result based reporting.

The SIDP project seeks to recruit a Project Coordinator to help improve reporting, monitoring and evaluation and communications and to oversee implementation of SIDP’s gender objectives. He/she will work closely with the SIDP Project Manager, the UNV Monitoring and Evaluation Officer and relevant staff from UNDP Somalia’s Programme Management Support Unit, Governance Programme and the Communications Office.
