UNFPA-GBV/SRH Assessment Support-P4-Roraima, Brazil - Roraima, Roraima
August 10, 2017, 4:08 PM
TORs-Gender-Based Violence/Sexual and Reproductive Health Assessment Support
Background information:
Roraima is situated at the border of Brazil and Venezuela - an area marked by vulnerability and high levels of violence against marginalized minority groups, predominantly indigenous people and women. As of 2015, Brazilian authorities registered a growing number of Venezuelans seeking health services and asylum in Brazil. According to national government agencies, by May 2017, an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 Venezuelans were living Roraima. An indigenous group of approximately 1,500 Warao people are spread between the border and the municipality of Manaus and face particular forms of social vulnerability due to their combined indigenous and migrant status. Considering the evolving situation in Venezuela, Brazilian authorities have expressed concerns that the influx is likely to increase significantly in the months to come. In addition, it has become acutely clear that the combination of factors that include a mixture of migrants, refugees and ethnic particularities in a context of growing adversity from the local population and authorities, increase the complexity to ensure an adequate immediate response to the situation.
UNFPA's response to the migratory emergency in this northern area of Brazil seeks to improve response and accelerated preparedness by the government in Roraima. The main objective is to contribute to the improvement of access, availability and quality of services, as well as to the increase of preparedness of government agencies and civil society in line with the Minimum Initial Standards Package (MISP) and the Minimum Standards for Prevention and Response to GBVin Emergencies (GBViE).

UNHCR-Hydrogeologist-P3-P4- Roving,Uganda. - Roving, (Adjumani, Lamwo,Palorinya,Mbarara)
July 6, 2017, 12:24 PM
Terms of Reference
Hydrogeologist, P3/4 - Roving (Adjumani/ Lamwo/ Palorinya// Mbarara)
Mission Location: Kitgum/ Lamwo (initially), roving to project location under Adjumani, Mbarara and Hoima sub-offices
DURATION: 6 months
OPERATIONAL CONTEXT
UNHCR Uganda is currently hosting over 1.2 million refugees and asylum seekers (according to OPM statistics) in twelve settlements across the country. The country has received the single largest refugee influx from South Sudan with over 800,000 new arrivals as of June 2017. At the same time, Uganda continues to receive refugees from the DR Congo, Burundi and other countries of origin. This unprecedented mass influx to Uganda puts enormous pressure on the country’s resources, in particular on land, systems for basic service delivery, and the humanitarian and development partners’ capacity to respond to the crisis. A concerted effort of humanitarian and development partners is required to continue to save lives, provide basic services including WASH, health and education, and to stabilise refugee hosting areas in Uganda.
Uganda has an exemplary refugee protection environment, providing refugees with freedom of movement, the right to work and establish businesses, the right to documentation, access to social services, and allocation of plots of land for shelter and agricultural production through a generous asylum policy (the Refugee Act of 2006 and the Refugee Regulations of 2010). The country pursues a non-camp settlement policy, by which refugees are allocated relatively large plots of land that are stretched out over vast territories, which allows for both shelter and agricultural production. Typically, the settlement approach incurs higher up-front costs than that of a camp environment, when basic life-saving provision is being established. However, over time, the settlement approach encourages innovative self-reliance opportunities for refugees that are otherwise not feasible in a camp setting.
AIM OF THE MISSION
Support for the South Sudan emergency operation, in particular viability for exploring groundwater potential to improve the success rates of drilling works and reduce the amount of costly water trucking currently needed. Support agencies undertaking drilling works to monitor groundwater extraction, and protect water resources in terms of quantity and quality.
MISSION OBJECTIVES
The Hydrogeologist will oversee, guide and monitor the current borehole drilling operations based on the findings of previous hydrogeological studies carried out in these areas. The Hydrogeologist will also conduct further hydrogeological studies to understand the groundwater capacity and inform the drilling operations. Current water operations still rely heavily on water trucking. The incumbent will oversee drilling operations by UNHCR and partners in the project areas, and make recommendations including for the water distribution systems.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Under the supervision of the Head of Sub Office, the incumbent will
- Oversee, guide and monitor current drilling operations and take physical measurements of existing boreholes, springs etc., in close cooperation with district authorities and other relevant national entities;

UNFPA-SRH Coordinator-P4-Ethiopia - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
June 9, 2017, 9:44 AM
Background information
While Ethiopia battles residual needs from the El Nino-induced drought, below average rains in the southern and eastern parts of the country caused by the negative Indian Ocean Dipole effect have led to new drought. Livestock deaths, water shortages and acute malnutrition are reported from the primarily affected pastoral areas. In addition, disease outbreaks and food and nutritional insecurity persist in other areas. According to the 2017 Humanitarian Requirement Document, 5.6 million people have been identified requiring emergency food assistance; and some 1.2 million children, pregnant women and lactating mothers also require supplementary feeding. Of serious concern is the predicted poor spring rain performance in southern, eastern, and north eastern areas of the country. The poor spring rain performance will lead to a significant increase in the number of Ethiopians requiring relief food assistance. It is anticipated that several million people in addition to the current 5.6 million already targeted will require relief food assistance.
In 2016 UNFPA Ethiopia CO developed its humanitarian response plan document by identifying 46 districts as priority geographical locations for its humanitarian interventions. In addition to other components of its humanitarian response, UNFPA has provided much-needed emergency RH kits, medical equipment and Iron Folate capsules for 24 Health centers and 4 Hospitals in 23 priority one hotspot woredas that benefited an estimated 413,247 women of reproductive age. In addition, 6 tents and kits were provided for establishment of 6 RH camps in hotspot woredas located in Afar and Somalie regions. Through financial contribution of donor partners, UNFPA will continue direct execution of projects for the provision of its lifesaving humanitarian responses on SRH for populations that are affected drought in the southern and eastern parts of the country covering mainly pastoralist communities in the low land areas.
