International Engineering Specialist - Dushanbe

Effective border management has emerged at the forefront of Afghanistan and Central Asia nations’ domestic and foreign political agendas, partly as a result of the increasingly unstable security and political situation in Afghanistan, which is now moving through Northern Afghanistan and approaching Central Asia, particularly through the borders of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Both countries face risks posed from international terrorist and religious-extremist organizations, narcotics trafficking, weapons smuggling and illegal migration in both directions. However, the present state of border management is inadequate to address such issues and insufficient to meet the challenges of the future. Afghan Border Police capability has not yet developed sufficiently to meet European and international standards. This applies particularly to the principles of transparency, trade development, Border Crossing Point efficiency, infrastructure development and scales of equipment issued and training provided to field units. There is therefore a significant requirement to enhance security through Integrated Border Management along the Afghan-Tajik and Afghan-Uzbek borders (as well as frontiers with other neighboring states); and to improve cooperation among local, national and international partners to address cross-border and regional issues.

The specific objective of the project is to continue to support Cross-border Security and Cooperation, by improving Integrated Border Management in northern Afghanistan. This will contribute to supporting the Government of Afghanistan in strengthening governance and improving revenue collection while fostering economic and political relations with the countries in the region through the promotion of economic development and stability.

Starting from late 2014, through 2017, a joint effort between the EU Delegation in Kabul, and UNDP in Dushanbe, will provide support to integrated border management activities through a follow-on phase of the EU funded Border Management Projects in Northern Afghanistan, implemented since 2007. All efforts will strive to realize secure borders, prevent cross-border crime, reduce the trafficking of illegal drugs and precursor chemicals, promote more humane treatment and provide protection to victims of trafficking, refugees, and asylum seekers, and to increase legal trans-border trade.

Short Term Consultant: Technical Expert on sluice gates and embankment engineering, Livelihoods and Food Security Project

Call for expression of interest: Technical expertise on sluice gates and embankment engineering, in link with a multi-sector development project

PROJECT: Tat Lan – Rakhine Sustainable Livelihoods and Food Security Program
LOCATION: Myanmar, Rakhine State (Myebon, Pauktaw, Kyaukpyu and Minbya townships)
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD: from 1st March 2013- 29th February 2017

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

BACKGROUND

The Tat Lan Programme, implemented by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in partnership with Save the Children UK (SC), Oxfam, and Better Life Organization (BLO), will build on the Giri emergency response and contribute to equitably and sustainably improving the livelihoods of severely and moderately cyclone affected communities in the townships of Myebon, Pauktaw, Kyaukpyu and Minbya. Tat Lan will implement a package of comprehensive, mutually-reinforcing interventions to improve livelihoods and food security and will be grounded in a village-based participatory planning process that will engage communities, men and women, in the implementation of development activities, ensuring that the programme is responsive, effective and sustainable.

The widespread deterioration of embankments (including sluice gates) in target areas has direct negative impacts on the population’s productive activities and food security. In addition, the shortage and disrepair of freshwater sources, particularly village ponds, hinders access to safe water for drinking, cooking, and other household needs during the dry season, posing threats to nutrition security. The programme will develop and restore these key community assets, which will serve as a foundation for the Agriculture, Fisheries, CFW, and Nutrition components. Activities under the Infrastructure component will contribute to Output 2: Improved infrastructure for Giri-affected rural communities and focus on embankment restoration and freshwater resource management. Specific decisions on construction locations and priorities will be made by each community through the programme’s village-based planning process (See Section 6). Recurring issues of operations and maintenance will be addressed by ensuring that infrastructure construction and maintenance are incorporated into the VDPs with clear responsibilities and timelines.

Informed by community-identified needs and technical feasibility, the design of the infrastructure works will be carried out in collaboration between IP and township irrigation engineer. IP staff, in collaboration Department of Irrigation staff, will monitor the works for safety and quality assurance. The expert will also provide technical capacity building and assistance. Implementation of the proposed activities will be carried out through:

The programme’s CFW component for embankments and pond renovation.Contracting construction companies for sluice gates.

OBJECTIVE
IRC is looking for expressions of interest with regards to providing technical expertise on sluice gates and embankment engineering, with the objective to support the project and its implementing partners in designing the most cost efficient and technically relevant options according to local use patterns and O&M (operation and maintenance) capacity.

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS
This is a temporary consultancy assignment. It will involve technical manuals and training manuals development, engineering designs development and field visit to Myanmar, including in Rakhine state.

Interested candidates should apply online and confirm their availability.
