REACH Cash & Markets Assessment Officer For South Sudan

Reference: 20/SSD/AO01

Background on Impact and REACH

IMPACT Initiatives is a humanitarian NGO, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The organisation manages several initiatives, including the REACH Initiative. The IMPACT team comprises specialists in data collection, management and analysis, GIS and remote-sensing. IMPACT was launched at the initiative of ACTED, an international NGO whose headquarter is based in Paris and is present in thirty countries. The two organizations have a strong complementarity formalized in a global partnership, which allows particularly IMPACT to benefit from ACTED’s operational support on its fields of intervention.

REACH was born in 2010 as a joint initiative of two International NGOs (IMPACT Initiatives and ACTED) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH’s purpose to promote and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the humanitarian community’s decision making and planning capacity for emergency, reconstruction and development contexts, supporting and working within the framework of the humanitarian reform process. REACH facilitates information management for aid actors through three complementary services: (a) need and situation assessments facilitated by REACH teams; (b) situation analysis using satellite imagery; (c) provision of related database and (web)-mapping facilities and expertise.

ACTED is a French humanitarian NGO, founded in 1993, which supports vulnerable populations, affected by humanitarian crises worldwide. ACTED provides continued support to vulnerable communities by ensuring the sustainability of post-crisis interventions and engaging long-term challenges facing our target populations, in order to break the poverty cycle, foster development and reduce vulnerability to disasters. Their interventions seek to cover the multiple aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a multidisciplinary approach which is both global and local, and adapted to each context. Their 3,300 staff is committed in to responding to emergencies worldwide, to supporting recovery and rehabilitation, towards sustainable development.

Country Profile

IMPACT, through its own activities, or through REACH, has been implementing programming in South Sudan since 2012. Responding to the Sudan Border Crisis, REACH initially engaged through coordinated information management support – in the form of refugee camp mapping and service provision analyses, thematic assessments, and multi-sectorial needs assessments – in Maban County, Upper Nile State and Pariang County, Unity State. IMPACT was engaged by DFID to provide a series of impact evaluations of their BRACE programming across Greater Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile States in 2013; a programme with run for two years, included 5 total assessments, and touched a total of more than 20,000 households. Immediately following the conflict of December 2013, REACH expanded its programming to include the IDP response, participating in Initial Rapid Needs Assessments of conflict affected areas, providing mapping and monthly service provision analyses for major IDP sites around the country, and running large-scale IDP return intentions assessments.

2018 has seen the expansions of both IMPACT and REACH programming to 10 of 10 states, spanning the refugee, IDP and development responses, and covering diverse activities such as cross-border port monitoring, assessments of hard to reach areas, flood mapping and vulnerability analysis, market monitoring and supply chain analysis, analysis of tensions and conflicts over access to natural resources, and third party monitoring of humanitarian and development programming.

Organizational Context

The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. The mission of UNIDO, as described in the Lima Declaration adopted at the fifteenth session of the UNIDO General Conference in 2013, is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in Member States. The relevance of ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development in the next fifteen years. UNIDOs mandate is fully recognized in SDG-9, which calls to Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation. The relevance of ISID, however, applies in greater or lesser extent to all SDGs. Accordingly, the Organizations programmatic focus is structured in four strategic priorities: Creating shared prosperity; Advancing economic competitiveness; Safeguarding the environment; and Strengthening knowledge and institutions.
Each of these programmatic fields of activity contains a number of individual programmes, which are implemented in a holistic manner to achieve effective outcomes and impacts through UNIDOs four enabling functions: (i) technical cooperation; (ii) analytical and research functions and policy advisory services; (iii) normative functions and standards and quality-related activities; and (iv) convening and partnerships for knowledge transfer, networking and industrial cooperation. Such core functions are carried out in Departments/Offices in its Headquarters, Regional Offices and Hubs and Country Offices.

The Directorate of Programme Development and Technical Cooperation (PTC), is responsible and accountable for providing technical cooperation services to enhance the capabilities of developing countries and economies in transition to promote ISID. PTC provides services in the following areas covered by five departments: Department of Trade Investment and Innovation (TII); Department of Agri-Business (AGR); Department of Energy (ENE); Department of Environment (ENV) and the Department of Programmes, Partnerships and Field Integration (PTC/PPF).
The Agri-Business Development Department (PTC/AGR) provides a variety of technical cooperation services to assist developing countries add value to the output of their agricultural sector and generate increased employment opportunities in off farm activities for rural communities, thereby contributing to increased food security and a sustainable reduction of poverty.
The Division is responsible for technology aspects of agro-based industries in textile, leather, wood and agricultural mechanization. It also leads UNIDOs work in bio-systems engineering with a focus on new technologies in precision systems for irrigation, production and harvesting; new systems for bio-energy production; advanced packaging systems to maximize product quality; recycling agro-products and prevention of emissions to protect the environment; and information technologies to optimize bio-process strategies. Emphasis is placed upon the design of projects and programs to serve engineering needs of the agricultural/biological industries and water resources/environmental engineering needs of various governments, industries and communities, and the support to enhance the required industrial skills for sustainable development.

PROJECT CONTEXT
The project aims to support agro value chain development to create employment and income opportunities for IDPs and their host communities by providing skills and entrepreneurship training. In terms of immediate development impact, the project will be implemented in Juba, urban and peri-urban neighborhoods, which attracted growing investments in reconstruction.
The project aims to reduce the differences and build cohesion between ongoing humanitarian assistance towards IDPs and host communities by promoting self-reliance and economic resilience in the protracted crisis situation in South Sudan.
The key expected outputs include:
(a) Output 1: Basic agro processing facilities established;
The project will establish an agro-processing training center (APTC) to support capacity building of the South Sudanese officials in agro-processing, in particular, food safety.
In addition, the testing capacities of the laboratory within the Government of South Sudan will be enhanced to test agro-processed products as well the enhancing the technical capacity of the staff.
(b) Output 2: IDPs and host communities trained in agro-processing and entrepreneurship development skills:
The project will focus on training and mentoring IDPs and their host community members with entrepreneurship and agro-processing skills and technology. The technology that will be provided to 230 IDPs/host communities is on groundnuts and sesame, which has high potential for value addition with respect to improving their income and livelihoods.
The IDPs and host communities will operate in small holder farmer group, average size of 30 members, and all aligned to their cooperative at Don Bosco. They will be facilitated and trained in starting up micro and small processing businesses.
At the end of the project in March 2020, it is expected employment and income generating opportunities would have been created among the IDPs and host communities, and thus working towards enhancing their self-reliance and resilience in cementing this social stabilization status.

Health Consultant - Integrated Rapid Response Mechanism (IRRM) Mission

Background/Rationale for the Assignment

The Republic of South Sudan continues to face considerable challenges in meeting maternal, new-born and child health (MNCH) care needs and improving health outcomes. Ongoing instability and population displacements have undermined the already limited scope of available child health services at community and health facility level. This has also retarded the expansion of health infrastructure, slowed increase in human resource capacity and further fragmented maternal and child health service delivery. According to the Health Sector Development Plan (2012-2016), Effective Health Services Coverage has been low (about 42%): 58% of the population does not have access to health facilities. In many places the health facilities are not functional because they were either looted and destroyed or qualified health workers are not available. Subsequently, according to the HNO, about 5.4 million people are in need of humanitarian health care in 2019.

Many places are not accessible due to security reasons and rapid response mechanisms (RRM) missions, in collaboration with WFP are used to provide services to those hard to reach populations whenever there is a window of opportunity. In 2018, UNICEF conducted around 50 RRM missions providing essential basic services to over 600,000 people including 135,000 children under five years of age. The mechanism is a means of reaching the populations cut from health care and in inaccessible areas whenever security or access allows
