Peace and Development Advisor - Antananarivo
As a result of the protracted political crisis affecting the country since 2009 and entrenched poor governance, the social and economic situation of Madagascar has steadily worsened. With an additional 4 million poor people to the most vulnerable segments of the population since the crisis began, over 80% of the population now lives below the poverty line. The country is unlikely to achieve any of the MDGs by 2015. Madagascar is currently one of the poorest countries in the world and income per capita barely reaches US$ 450 per year.
Madagascar has recently held presidential and parliamentary elections, with the support of UNDP and the international community, which have been judged by international observers as credible and transparent. The election of the new President, Hery Rajaonarimampianina raises considerable expectations in terms of political stabilization, national reconciliation and improvement of governance practices.
Contrary to some of its African neighbours, Madagascar does not suffer from open armed conflicts. However, the recurrence of serious political crises (1972, 1991, 2002, 2009) shows the existence of deep cleavages and tensions. These include competition over natural resources, pressure over land, the unmatched power of the presidency, weakness of checks and balances, limited accountability mechanisms and institutions, a polarized society, the political role of the armed forces, insecurity in the South and extreme urban poverty, among others.
Against this backdrop, Madagascar’s fragile post-crisis situation is a source of concern and requires close analysis and monitoring in order to prevent the country from relapsing into open crisis, which would have inestimable social and economic cost on a strained population. United Nations assistance is therefore crucial to help prevent potential conflicts and to consolidate peace. Such assistance would translate on one hand into specific reconciliation and peace-building activities, and on the other hand into mainstreaming conflict-sensitivity throughout all UNDP and UN programmes.
In this context, one of the three outcomes of the new UNDAF, recently finalized, precisely aims at contributing to appeased and pacified governance, while reconciliation remains as a main pillar. A Conflict and Development Analysis (CDA) was recently finalized, building on a Peace and Conflict Impact Assessment. Similarly, as recommended by the UN Secretary-General, AU, EU, SADC and other international partners in their statements following the December 2013 elections, the new Malagasy authorities have repeatedly and publicly committed to making national reconciliation and peace-building a key priority. The UN Secretary General met with President Hery Rajaonarimampianina and stressed the need for pursuing political reconciliation and inclusive policies and reforms that would deepen democratic and accountable governance, respect human rights and promote equitable economic recovery. He indicated the readiness of the United Nations to support Madagascar towards meeting its governance and development objectives.
UNDP Madagascar’s approach to peace-building is twofold. On the one hand, peace-building and conflict sensitivity are mainstreamed throughout UNDP programmes and activities. On the other hand, that a specific output of the governance programme is dedicated to supporting the national reconciliation process through strengthening the Council for the Malagasy Reconciliation, the Special Commission for Amnesty of the Supreme Court and national mechanisms to prevent election-related violence, among others.
The Madagascar country office therefore invites highly qualified candidates with proven experience in peace and development to apply for the present position whose main duties are described below.

Belarus faces a multitude of political, social, and economic risks and externalities which impact the country’s development trajectory. With the UN remaining – likely for the foreseeable future – the only international organisation with significant presence on the ground, it is essential that the UN is able to productively navigate the complex prevailing environment. This is important not only for ensuring the prudent targeting of programming and advocacy but also, and more importantly, for ensuring that the entry points available are used to advance Belarus’ ability to adapt to the range of pressures, challenges, and changes that are likely forthcoming. Opening up and strengthening opportunities for dialogue and connections between actors on the ground is a necessary prerequisite for this, and the UN Country Team requires the support of a Peace and Development Specialist (PDS) to ensure the UN can duly support such efforts.

As the National Dialogue concluded, it is important to look beyond immediate relief and peacebuilding, towards more integrated and sustainable peacebuilding and state building initiatives that can build confidence in the state and deliver dividends to the population. This is most important in rural areas, where an estimated 75% of the population live, and where the relationships between formal and informal structures of governance are most deterministic of development and security outcomes. Many local authorities have yet to take fully charge of local affairs as foreseen by the law. In this context, establishing governance mechanisms which can mobilise relation-based systems and formalise the channels through which society participates in government planning and policy making may provide avenues for greater inclusion of marginalised groups, improved confidence in governance processes, and eventually extension of services, particularly in conflict affected governorates.
This is a joint project between UNDP and UNFPA and the overall objective of the Peace and Transition Support Project is to support increasing citizen participation in peace and development planning and policy development and support the rebuilding of the social contract of marginalized groups, most importantly the youth and women.
Under the supervision of the Project Officer and Governance Team Leader, the Chief Technical Advisor will carry out/achieve the following duties:Providing advisory and technical support to the Ministry of Local Administration, in strengthening the MolA capacities, improving current structures and supporting technically/legally for setting up requisite, legal frame, policies, systems, processes and procedures for the new federal system as may be required;
