Consultant - 'Ten essentials' (Making Cities Resilient campaign) - UNISDR, Nairobi


Closing Date: Sunday, 22 January 2012

Assignment start date: 1 February 2012

United Nations Core Values

Integrity • Professionalism • Respect for diversity

Background

The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is a multidisciplinary and multi stakeholder platform to enable societies to increase their resilience to natural, technological and environmental disasters and to reduce associated environmental, human, economic and social losses. A range of United Nations organizations and international partners participate in cooperation with Governments and civil society organizations.

The implementation of the ISDR is supported by a secretariat lead by the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Disaster Risk Reduction. The secretariat main functions are policy coordination, advocacy and information management, at the international and regional levels, to ensure synergy between disaster reduction strategies and those in the socioeconomic and humanitarian fields.

In January 2005, the World Conference on Disaster Reduction (WCDR, 18-22 January 2005, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan) took place and represents a landmark in worldwide understanding and commitment to implement a disaster risk reduction agenda. This commitment was captured in the Hyogo Declaration and the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters adopted at the WCDR.

The Hyogo Framework is the essential guide for implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction in the coming years and it constitutes an unprecedented conceptual shift that takes account of the complexity of action in disaster risk reduction and the large variety of actors whose inputs are required in the pursuit of this objective. It provides the basic concepts and prescribes and expected outcome; details three strategic goals for disaster risk reduction and a set of five priority areas for action; and assigns tasks to stakeholders at difference operational levels to reach the expected outcome.

Priority One of the Hyogo Framework for Action emphasizes the need to “ensure that disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a national and local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation”. It further recommends establishing “DRR institutional mechanisms (national platforms) with designated responsibilities”.

At the Regional level, Africa was the first continent that showed political commitment to disaster risk reduction by formulating in 2004 the “Africa Regional Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction”, “Programme of Action 2005-2010…” for its implementation and “Guidelines for Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Assessment in Development”, under the aegis of the African Union Commission, the NEPAD Secretariat, African Development Bank, and with support of the UNISDR and UN partners. These documents were officially adopted at the First African Ministerial Conference on DRR in Addis Ababa in 2005.

The Second Africa Ministerial Conference took place in Nairobi, Kenya form 14 to 16 April 2010 to discuss and agree upon a revised and extended “Africa Programme of Action for the Implementation of the Africa Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (2006-2015)” to align with the HFA.

The Africa Programme of Action for DRR considers emerging challenges and the most frequent natural hazards in Africa such as climate change factors and its possible consequences, gender equity, drought and flood risk reduction. It is conceived to promote concrete activities, expected results and indicators to monitor progress.

UNISDR is advocating together with its partners for the implementation of global campaigns dedicated to topics outlined in the Hyogo Framework of Action. The 2010-2015 World Disaster Reduction Campaign "Making Cities Resilient" addresses issues of local governance and urban risk while drawing upon previous ISDR Campaigns on safer schools and hospitals, implemented during 2006-2007 and 2008-2009 respectively, as well as on the sustainable urbanizations principles developed in the UN-Habitat World Urban Campaign 2009-2013. Around 30 cities in Africa signed and are engaged to the making city resilient campaign

Specific context

The urban population in Africa is growing fast and cities play a major role in producing wealth and ensuring development of countries.
Urban risk reduction programmes will contribute to protect and stabilise the development of the cities by avoiding natural disasters to destroy basic infrastructures, jobs and wipe out economic and social progress.

UNISDR developed the TEN ESSENTIALs which will serve for preliminary evaluation to assess overall situation of the targeted cities in term of risk management. The assessment of the cities situation vis a vis the TEN ESSENTIALS will provide a background for DRR programme development and starting point for local managers/mayors, national authorities and partners to elaborate DRR strategies to build resilient cities and reduce vulnerability.

It is also an opportunity to contribute to structure better the dialogue between local and national authorities on DRR and relationship between risk management and sustainable development. The assessment against the 10 essential should identify gaps and suggest a road map (out line) to help local national authorities to develop DRR interventions.

Duties and Responsibilities

Under the overall supervision of the Head of the UNISDR Regional Office for Africa, the Consultant will:

• Develop a strategy for local and national application of the Local Government Self-Assessment tool which is aligned to the 10 essentials for making cities resilient and the 5 HFA priorities.
• Advocate and introduce the projects to national and local authorities and interested partners for ownership and further follow up.
• Ensuring communication and information exchange among relevant stakeholders and liaise with the UN Country Team as appropriate.
• Liaise with appropriate members of National Platform.
• Organize a workshop to get a consensus of the final result of the risk assessment.
• Write a final report explaining the objective of the workshop, the processes, the methodology used, the results in a detailed ways to allow scale up to other cities in the future.

Key Deliverables

• Framework that align local government assessment tool, 10 essential and HFA priorities.
• Liaise with at least of National Platforms and partners
• Conduct and/or monitor the assessment(s)
• Write draft final report
• Organize consensus workshop(s) to agree on gaps and way forwards.
• Finalize and write detailed final report including recommendations for the LG-SAT implementation in Africa.

Urban risk reduction programmes will contribute to protect and stabilise the development of the cities by avoiding natural disasters to destroy basic infrastructures, jobs and wipe out economic and social progress.

UNISDR developed the TEN ESSENTIALs which will serve for preliminary evaluation to assess overall situation of the targeted cities in term of risk management. The assessment of the cities situation vis a vis the TEN ESSENTIALS will provide a background for DRR programme development and starting point for local managers/mayors, national authorities and partners to elaborate DRR strategies to build resilient cities and reduce vulnerability.

It is also an opportunity to contribute to structure better the dialogue between local and national authorities on DRR and relationship between risk management and sustainable development. The assessment against the 10 essential should identify gaps and suggest a road map (out line) to help local national authorities to develop DRR interventions.

Background

The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is a multidisciplinary and multi stakeholder platform to enable societies to increase their resilience to natural, technological and environmental disasters and to reduce associated environmental, human, economic and social losses. A range of United Nations organizations and international partners participate in cooperation with Governments and civil society organizations.

The implementation of the ISDR is supported by a secretariat lead by the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Disaster Risk Reduction. The secretariat main functions are policy coordination, advocacy and information management, at the international and regional levels, to ensure synergy between disaster reduction strategies and those in the socioeconomic and humanitarian fields.

In January 2005, the World Conference on Disaster Reduction (WCDR, 18-22 January 2005, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan) took place and represents a landmark in worldwide understanding and commitment to implement a disaster risk reduction agenda. This commitment was captured in the Hyogo Declaration and the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters adopted at the WCDR.

The Hyogo Framework is the essential guide for implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction in the coming years and it constitutes an unprecedented conceptual shift that takes account of the complexity of action in disaster risk reduction and the large variety of actors whose inputs are required in the pursuit of this objective. It provides the basic concepts and prescribes and expected outcome; details three strategic goals for disaster risk reduction and a set of five priority areas for action; and assigns tasks to stakeholders at difference operational levels to reach the expected outcome.

Priority One of the Hyogo Framework for Action emphasizes the need to “ensure that disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a national and local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation”. It further recommends establishing “DRR institutional mechanisms (national
platforms) with designated responsibilities”.

At the Regional level, Africa was the first continent that showed political commitment to disaster risk reduction by formulating in 2004 the “Africa Regional Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction”, “Programme of Action 2005-2010…” for its implementation and “Guidelines for Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Assessment in Development”, under the aegis of the African Union Commission, the NEPAD Secretariat, African Development Bank, and with support of the UNISDR and UN partners. These documents were officially adopted at the First African Ministerial Conference on DRR in Addis Ababa in 2005.

The Second Africa Ministerial Conference took place in Nairobi, Kenya from 14 to 16 April 2010 to discuss and agree upon a revised and extended “Africa Programme of Action for the Implementation of the Africa Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (2006-2015)” to align with the HFA.

The Africa Programme of Action for DRR considers emerging challenges and the most frequent natural hazards in Africa such as climate change factors and its possible consequences, gender equity, drought and flood risk reduction. It is conceived to promote concrete activities, expected results and indicators to monitor progress.

UNISDR is advocating together with its partners for the implementation of global campaigns dedicated to topics outlined in the Hyogo Framework of Action. The 2010-2015 World Disaster Reduction Campaign "Making Cities Resilient" addresses issues of local governance and urban risk while drawing upon previous ISDR Campaigns on safer schools and hospitals, implemented during 2006-2007 and 2008-2009 respectively, as well as on the sustainable urbanizations principles developed in the UN-Habitat World Urban Campaign 2009-2013.

The focus on safer schools and hospitals is being enforced by the One Million Safe Schools and Hospitals Campaign which encourages an individual, a family, a community, an organization, a government, a business or any other entity to make a pledge for a school or hospital and make them safer during disasters.

Specific context

The East African Rift is seismically and volcanically active and this has resulted to ground deformation within the Rift System. Many serious earthquakes have been recorded during past few years in which two up to 9 on Richter scale (Malawi and Tanganyika Lake). It is serious threat to several countries in East Africa mainly Uganda, Kenya, DRC, Burundi…).

Rifting related risks threaten social and economic infrastructures. ISDR launched campaigns focusing on improving resilience of hospitals and schools as well as involving local governance and mayors in making cities resilient to natural disasters mainly by promoting the use of building codes and related regulations which ensure community participation. UNISDR is therefore looking for a consultant to assist targeted districts and mayors in Uganda, Kenya, DRC and Burundi to conduct multi risk assessment of schools and hospital with focus on earthquake risks.

The risk assessment should identify the level of risks of each identified infrastructures, assess gaps and develop a road map and plan to address gaps to improve resilience, in close collaboration with interested partners and under the leadership of local and or national authorities.

Duties and Responsibilities

Under the overall supervision of the Head of the UNISDR Regional Office for Africa, the Consultant will:

• Organize a workshop involving interested parties and partners to promote and explain the objective of the project.
• Develop assessments tools and train local staff for implementation

• Organize a workshop to get a consensus of the final result of the risk assessment.
• Write a final report explaining the objective of the workshop, the processes, the methodology used, the results in a detailed ways to allow scale up to other cities and district concerned by seismic risks.

Key Deliverables

• Risk assessment tools and methodology.
• Train and monitor local staff on how to fill the forms ad conduct interviews.

United Nations Core Values:

Integrity � Professionalism � Respect for diversity

Background

The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is a multi-disciplinary and multistakeholder platform to enable societies to increase their resilience to natural, technological and environmental disasters and to reduce associated environmental, human and economic and social risk and losses. A range of United Nations organizations and international partners participate in cooperation with Governments and civil society organizations.

The implementation of the ISDR is supported by a secretariat led by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction. The secretariat�s main functions are policy coordination, advocacy and information management, at the international and regional levels, to ensure synergy between disaster reduction strategies and those in the socio-economic and humanitarian fields.

In January 2005, the World Conference on Disaster Reduction adopted the Hyogo Declaration and the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters. The Hyogo Framework constitutes the essential guide for implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction and represents the key policy framework for reducing risk and to strengthen community resilience. The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction established by the UN General Assembly in 2006, I the main global policy forum for disaster risk reduction, and is complemented by a system of regional, thematic and national platforms, which bring together all relevant stakeholders.

To minimize negative impacts of natural hazards on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Africa, the African Union and the Regional Economic Commissions (RECs) are emphasizing integration of disaster risk reduction and management into the sub-regional poverty reduction, security, and sustainable development agenda to help create safer and resilient communities in social, economic and environmental terms.

Consequently, to expand and strengthen actions at all levels to reduce disaster risks and build the resilience of nations and communities to disasters, the African Union and the Secretariat of the New Partnership for Africa�s Development (NEPAD), with the support of UNISDR and in partnership with UNDP, UNEP and African Development Bank (ADB), led a process of regional actions to strengthen national capacities for disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Africa, beginning with the development of the Africa Regional Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction. The strategy aims to contribute to the attainment of sustainable development and poverty eradication by facilitating the integration of disaster risk reduction into development. The Programme of Action for theImplementation of the Africa Strategy 2006-2010 that was developed in compliance with a request by the 2004 Africa Union Summit, endorsed by the 2005 African Ministerial Meeting on Disaster Risk Reduction, and adopted by the Eight Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union (2006), provides the operational framework for disaster risk reduction interventions in the region. The extension and enforcement of the Programme of Action to cover the period until 2015 was discussed and agreed at the 2nd Regional Platform Consultative Meeting for DRR in May 2009, and formal adoption of the extended Programme by African Ministers in charge of DRR is awaited in 2010.

The RECs are responsible for coordinating inter-state initiatives under the Africa Regional Strategy, and operationalizing the regional Programme of Action based on their own policies on DRR which are already in place. For example, the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) has adopted a sub-regional policy for DRR, established a Disaster Management Unit and is developing an implementation programme for its DRR strategy. IGAD has developed a DRR strategy and programme. SADC is revising its DRR strategy to bring it more in line with the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). ECCAS has completed development of its sub-regional DRR mechanism and EAC has finalised a comprehensive Disaster Risk Management framework which will accelerate the integration of DRR into its development plans and programmes.

In October 2011, the Sectoral council of Ministers in charge of environment approved the East African Community (EAC)disaster risk management framework which entails the development of a comprehensive regional disaster risk management (DRM) strategy, a creation of a sub-regional DRR platform, a creation of DRM unit under the office of the Secretary General. The framework also spells out the plan of action towards the integration of DRR into the region which includes development of both institutional and human capacities, mapping and assessment of disaster risks and vulnerabilities, mapping and strengthening the hazard early warning system among other activities. This consultancy will build on UNISDR�s earlier technical assistance to EAC and its Partner States.
