Consultancy - Video Producer for Short Films on the MDGs - Home-based

Coming to the close of 2014, countries have had considerable experience with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).  MDG-based national plans, targeted interventions, small-scale pilots and other such efforts have established a reliable knowledge base highlighting the achievements made and the remaining gaps as we enter the last leg of the MDGs. With the MDGs due to expire in 2015, UNDP is keen to show the impact achieved on improving the lives of people, and to keep up momentum, with the message that the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) now being forged will build on and continue the work of the MDGs.

Ahead of 2015, extensive and expedient efforts are underway to close remaining gaps and to capture key knowledge, lessons learned, and impacts stemming from the MDG experience. With over 14 years of experience with the MDGs, UNDP’s focus should be on telling the story of how people’s lives have changed and what challenges still remain, rather than an institutional summary of achievements. Given that audiences are increasingly consuming multimedia material over print, UNDP is keen to use video to highlight its work in this regard, so it may be presented at Summit events and disseminated across online platforms.

Towards this goal, UNDP looks to develop a series of short films focusing on its work in the five different regions.  Packaging and showcasing these short films will present evidence of success at the micro level through the stories of individuals whose lives were changed as part of MDG achievement. Ultimately, considering the girth of information, knowledge, and experience related to the MDG experience, these short films will help articulate UNDP’s support of MDG achievement in a brief and accessible manner.

In today’s age of mobile interconnectivity and the volume of material and videos available at the touch of a keyboard, many good or even great stories and videos get lost in the ever increasing communication platforms of social media. To obtain and sustain attention to the proposed short films, efforts should go beyond simply producing a series of videos and rather ‘showcase’ these videos and related MDG/SDG information through a dedicated webpage which can be integrated into the existing UNDP website and promoted using UNDP’s existing social media channels. The videos could also be used at relevant events, such as the 2015 MDG summit, and the ‘showcase’ website could be shared with Country Offices around the world to utilize and promote UNDP’s work.

 To fulfil this work, UNDP/Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) is seeking to contract a consultant to deliver video footage in five countries across the five regions which will lead to:

The development and production of 5 short story videos;A dedicated online ‘showcase’ webpage for the videos (available in Teamworks) expected to be released in 2015.

Each country film will be 3-5 minutes in length and will tell a human interest story highlighting MDG progress and UNDP support.  The dedicated online ‘showcase’ will be highly visual, featuring infographics and photos, with limited text, and will be integrated within UNDP’s existing interface (Teamworks and UNDP’s corporate website). Additionally, the information presented will be repackaged for use across UNDP’s social media channels.

 Focus of the Films

The country films will highlight the support given by UNDP to countries in helping them achieve the MDGs. The film will focus on the lives of individual people and families but will link these stories to specific MDGs and to UNDP’s role in achieving these goals.

Specifically, it will focus on:

At least two MDG thematic areas in each of the 5 regions;The individual stories attached to achievement of the MDGs or progress towards the MDGs;The kind of support UNDP has provided at the country level in helping to achieve the MDG’s and how has this played out in the lives of individuals and families;What MDG progress or achievement look like at the individual level;What UNDP support looks like at the individual level;The audience of the final product will be the external public.

CC Mitigation expert ? Renewable energy

Purpose
The purpose of this project is to strengthen national capacities to integrate environmental and energy concerns into development plans at all levels and systems for effective implementation of the sectoral priorities. This will be achieved through assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina in preparation and submission of its Third National Communication (TNC) to the CoP of the UNFCCC and enhancement of national capacities in field of climate change though the process. The TNC will be prepared and submitted to the UNFCCC in accordance with its commitments as a non-Annex 1 Party to the Convention (as mandated by Articles 4 and 12 of the UNFCCC).  The project will also result in increased capacity to produce subsequent communications that meet all guidelines established by the CoP and that can serve as a source of information for national policies and measures in climate change and in key economic and social sectors.

Objective
The overall objective of this assignment is to provide an updated chapter on measures to mitigate climate change in BiH that will model potential emission trajectories through 2050 and will incorporate recent findings on economic development and specific measures and projects with mitigation benefits. Activities will support data collection, scenario development, analysis of current and potential mitigation measures (including the cost-benefit analysis of identified mitigation measures), focusing primarily on the five sectors identified as priority areas in the SNC and determined to be in need of strengthening during stakeholder consultations: electricity production, district heating/buildings, transport, waste and agriculture/forestry. This component of the project will provide guidance and recommendations on country-appropriate mechanisms and infrastructure for NAMAs and MRV systems.

Background Information
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) became a member of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on December 6, 2000, and the Kyoto Protocol was ratified on April 22, 2008. The Initial National Communication (INC) of BiH to the UNFCCC was submitted in 2010.
The SNC was completed in June 2013.  The SNC has advanced the state of climate modeling, impacts assessment, and policy analysis in Bosnia and Herzegovina and it has also established a measurement baseline for public awareness and outlined key capacity needs. Furthermore, work on the SNC has enhanced the individual capacity of climate researchers in Bosnia and Herzegovina in government, academia, and NGOs, and it has strengthened the organizational capacity of the UNFCCC focal institution in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Civil Engineering and Ecology of RS.  Finally, the INC and the SNC have served as an important source of information for the country’s Climate Change Adaptation and Low Emission Development Strategy.
This Project will not only support the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina in meeting its above specified obligations as a UNFCCC signatory but will also serve as a significant strategic document for sustainable development. The cross-cutting nature of the TNC process will foster relationships across entities and economic sectors, by establishing linkages between environment and other sectors.

SENIOR PROJECT ASSISTANT, PUBLIC SECTOR MODERNIZATION, GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME, UNDP IRAQ - Baghdad, IRAQ

Public administration in Iraq faces many challenges due to the rapid evolution of the government in recent years. Most ministries and government offices still follow outdated structures and systems, while others lack a coherent architecture and standard operating procedures, without sufficient automation of processes to ensure efficiency. While efforts are under way to address corruption, case-by-case gains are insufficient against systemic weaknesses in the public administration. The civil service in its current form is over-sized with an estimated 3 million persons on its payroll, yet its performance in service delivery is not commensurate with its size. This puts pressure on scarce resources that are increasingly spent on maintaining the government bureaucracy without sufficient service delivery or capital expenditure to support future capacity.

The UN Country Team in Iraq has developed a joint programme “Iraq – Public Sector Modernisation Programme” (I-PSM) to assist the Government with comprehensive public sector reform, in coordination with other international assistance partners in Iraq. The Joint Programme is focusing on two pillars: (i) Civil service reform and development of general management systems and e-governance to enable efficient and accountable public administration, and; (ii) Sectoral reform in key sectors (education, health and water and sanitation) to improve performance of service delivery, particularly of essential services related to the Millennium Development Goals. By focusing on social service delivery, the Government can show the people of Iraq that public sector reform has concrete and tangible benefits for the population as a whole.

The methodology will be initially implemented in reduction of flood hazard but not as a separate activity but in the interactions with other sectors such as forestry, agriculture, energy, and primarily urban planning and development.

Office Assistant of SYSLAB Centre in Balti: Innovative Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Employment (SYSLAB) - Chisinau

The development of human capital is viewed as a prerequisite for an inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Moreover, it is increasingly seen at the cornerstone for both advanced and emerging economies seeking to speed up economic development and address the challenges posed by the global economic crisis.
From the development perspective, the labor plays critical role for Moldova’s socio-economic modernization, as it is one of the few resources available in the country. However, long hailed as a country with abundant labor resources, Moldova has increasingly found that labor (mostly as quality, but also quantity) has become its major development constraint , with Moldova’s labor endowment suffering considerably in the last two decades. The prospects for the quantity of labor force available in the future are not necessarily brighter given continuous outward migration and dire demographic outlook.
This loss in the labor force was only partly offset by the improvements in the labor productivity, which remained the lowest in the CEE and Western CIS region . Capital and skill endowments are amongst chief determinants of the labor productivity . In their turn, the skill endowment is largely dependent not only on the quality of the country’s education system, but also on training programs provided by various institutions.
The Innovative Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Employment Project was designed to establish career centers in four most important regions of Moldova with the goal to train and assist qualified unemployed and graduates in obtaining relevant employment in Moldova, preventing brain-waste, as well as brain-drain, and supporting economic growth of the country. SYSLAB training centers were already established in Chisinau, Rezina and Cahul. Two further centers will be opened in Balti and Comrat.
For the training Centre to be established in Balti, one head of the Centre, one  career advisor and assistant will be hired to manage and coordinate Centre’s activities.   

FOCUS OF THE SYSLAB PROJECT
The Project is designed to establish career centers in four most important regions of Moldova with the goal to train and assist qualified unemployed and graduates in obtaining relevant employment in Moldova, preventing brain-waste, as well as brain-drain, and supporting economic growth. One training center was already established in Chisinau and Rezina. Two more centers will be established in the regions.

The Project will achieve the following objectives:

Provide new technologies to labor market authorities;Provide motivated labor force to private and public sectors;Give graduates a better chance for relevant employment in Moldova;Give unemployed improved employability.

Overall, the project shall contribute to the development, adaptation and implementation of new tools (technology and methods) for career development, job search and entrepreneurship in Moldova.
The Career Centers will focus on:

new graduates, in order to prevent them from unemployment and to create job opportunities, and hence reduce/prevent brain-drain;unemployed irrespective of age, gender, ethnic background or education or work experience;returning migrants.

In achieving the project goals, the gender balance aspect will be taken into consideration, offering equal opportunities to both women and men to benefit from the Centers’ services.
The center to be established in Balti will have 3 people as permanent staff. The center will focus on highly qualified unemployed, young graduates and returning migrants. It will offer a classic SYSLAB Center, entrepreneurship training, job-seeking courses and individual career guidance.
Estimated number of annual beneficiaries for Balti center:

SYSLAB-training    60Job training    200Entrepreneurship training    60Simple subject courses    120Individual programs    150-300

State Project Manager, GoI-GEF-UNDP India High Range Landscape Project (HRML) - (Open to Indian Nationals only) - Munnar or Kottayam, Kerala

High Range Mountain Landscape (HRML) in the Western Ghats mountains of peninsular India is a globally significant biodiversity region. Its key attributes are: a) high levels of endemism and biological diversity; b) Important Bird Area; c) presence of globally threatened species of fauna and flora;  d) part of one of the five viable breeding centre of tiger in India; e) harbour the largest global population of Nilgiri tahr and a significant population of Grizzled Giant Squirrel (both threatened species); f) catchment of three major river systems of peninsular India; g) strong eco-cultural affinities; and h) support important economic sectors like cardamom, tea and tourism. At present, HRML is a complex mosaic of land uses where conservation, economic production and livelihood requirements assume equal primacy and profoundly influence each other. These contribute to competitive use of natural resources and affecting vital ecological processes. The rapidly altering developmental context, demographic contours, resource use configurations place a challenge for HRML’s long term ecological sustainability and livelihood security. The existing planning and policy framework, as well as the institutional arrangements in HRML are inadequate to address biodiversity conservation from a landscape perspective. The project aims to put in place a collaborative governance framework for multiple-use management of HRML. The project will attempt a paradigm shift from current sector based planning to an approach for integrated multiple-use management of mountain landscapes to deliver global environmental benefits. The project aims to achieve this through the following Outcomes: a) Effective governance framework for multiple-use mountain landscape management in place; b) Multiple-use mountain landscape management is applied securing the ecological integrity of HRML; and c) Strengthened capacities for community based sustainable use and management of wild resources.

The project region covers 3,000 sq. km spread across three districts of Kerala viz. Idukki, Ernakulam and Thrissur in Kerala.

UNDP aims to engage a State Project Manager for the implementation of the HRML Project. S/he will work closely with the State Project Coordinator. For operational purposes, the State Project Manager will also consult the Programme Analyst, Energy and Environment Unit, UNDP, New Delhi.

Logistics and Asset Management Expert - Dar Es Salaam

Tanzania has held four credible general elections since the reintroduction of multi-party politics in 1992. Citizens and the government are eager to maintain this track record and to further strengthen democratic practice in Tanzania. Looking to the 2015 general election, government has undertaken early and comprehensive preparations for the electoral processes. Since receipt of official requests for UN assistance to the election cycle leading to the 2015 general election from the National Election Commission (NEC) and Zanzibar Electoral Commission (ZEC), a UN Needs Assessment Mission recommended the development of a project in support of the national efforts.

In addition, in 2014 the United Republic of Tanzania will likely conduct a first national referendum on a new constitution. The EMBs and other stakeholders in preparing for these critical events have requested the assistance of UNDP to provide technical support to the preparation and execution of this referendum.

To this end, the Democratic Empowerment Project (DEP) is a four year (2013-2016) UNDP, United Nations (UN) One Fund and other donor-funded project with the overall aim of contributing to Tanzania’s United Nations Development Assistance Plan’s (UNDAP’s ) Outcome 7: i.e. “Key institutions of democracy, (i.e. EMBs, etc.) effectively implement their election and political functions”.  UN Women and UNESCO are implementing partners in a One UN Country Team context.

Project Objectives

The project seeks to promote democracy and contribute to the realization of the following four objectives:

Capacity of the key democratic institutions enhanced to support and promote legal and institutional reform in the context of the on-going constitutional reform process and beyond;Capacity of the EMBs to conduct credible elections enhanced through strategic, technical and operational support and improved EMB engagement with stakeholders (i.e. political parties, civil society organisations, and the media) to foster a democratic environment;Inclusive participation in elections and politics enhanced through the empowerment of women, youth and people with disabilities (PWDs);National peace infrastructure enhanced to mitigate and prevent election-related conflicts.
