    Brazil: GBV/SRH Assessment Support-P4-Roraima, Brazil

    Organization: CANADEM
    Country: Brazil
    Closing date: 17 Aug 2017

    CANADEM is seeking seasoned professionals fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and English with previous relevant experience in the field of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Gender Based Violence Assessments who are available for an immediate deployment to Brazil as a seconded expert with UNFPA.

    Terms of Reference

    Position Title: Gender-Based Violence/Sexual and Reproductive Health Assessment Support

    Location: Roraima, Brazil

    P Level: P4

    Duration: 1 Month

    Application Deadline: 17 August 2017

    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).

    Role and Description:

    Under the supervision of the Gender and Race Programme Officer and the overall guidance of the UNFPA CO Senior Management Team, guided by the framework of the Minimum Initial Services Package (MISP) and the Minimum Standards for Prevention and Response to GBV in Emergencies (GBViE), the incumbent will be responsible for conducting a series of rapid technical needs assessments (RH; RHCS; Gender and GBV) and make substantive inputs to the elaboration of the initial Brazil Emergency Fund proposal to be aligned with UNFPA corporate CERF requirements.

    The UNFPA Brazil EF proposal seeks to introduce tangible solutions to strengthen community resilience on a border area marked by vulnerability and high levels of violence against marginalized groups, with a focus on the context of migratory emergency. The main objective is to ensure that government agencies and civil society accelerate their intervention, increase their level of preparedness and improve response to the migratory flow by complying with the Minimum Initial Standards Package (MISP) as well as with the Minimum Standards for Prevention and Response to GBV in Emergencies (GBViE).

    MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

    Rapid and Field Assessments

    • When applicable, estimate number, composition and location of displaced populations through the use of rapid assessments, IDP profiling and flow monitoring. When possible and observing safety and ethical standards, asses the nature and scope of GBV and SRH needs; vulnerability factors; GBV and SRH national capacities and response including availability, accessibility, safety of GBV/SRH related services and facilities, as well as at-risk population coping strategies; international response capacity including existence of coordination mechanisms and GBV/SRH interventions identified (within the GBV sector and across other sectors);

    • Contribute to multi-sectoral rapid assessments for immediate, short-term needs in such areas as RH, RHCS, and gender. Conduct GBV sector-specific assessments. Work in close collaboration with relevant CO specialists and sectors engaged in the response.

    CERF proposal development

    • Make substantive inputs to the elaboration of the initial Brazil Emergency Fund proposal to be aligned with UNFPA corporate CERF requirements and in line with findings of the assessment;

    • Actively participate in the preparation/development of a CERF proposal in collaboration with relevant CO specialists;

    Qualifications and Skills required:

    • Advanced degree with specialization in areas such as social work, public health, gender, law/human rights, international relations, and/or other related social science disciplines.

    • At least seven years of specialized experience addressing GBV and/or SRH at the international level; experience in this field in a humanitarian context is an asset.

    • Relevant development background with experience working with government ministries and/or humanitarian relief agencies.

    • Prior experience with ethnic minorities i.e., indigenous groups will be an asset

    In 2014, UNICEF LACRO with the support of the “Global Business Coalition for Education” and the “A World at School”, launched the “Strong Schools and Communities Initiative” to raise awareness within the private sector about the impact of arm violence in the Education sector, and to promote flexible education strategies that guarantee the right to education in contexts of violence.The initiative has been implemented in countries such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and it is expected to scale up in other countries where the right to education has been affected by violence.

    The ongoing initiative have shown important progress at the national level:

    Guatemala: The Ministry of Education, in partnership with UNICEF Guatemala CO and Ciudades Seguras, coordinated the development of the mobile application “VOCES”, an early warning system to prevent violence in schools and communities. VOCES is a call for institutions, organizations, counties and citizens to actively participate in guaranteeing a protective and safe environment for children. Guatemala is currently working to engage the local private sector to support this initiative during the second phase of the program.

    Honduras: A document on the analysis of the impact of violence in the education sector was developed to highlight the causes and forms of violence, as well as, the strategies for prevention and intervention against violence in schools. This document aims to contribute in the construction of a national strategy on prevention of violence in the education sector.

    El Salvador: The campaign “Hagamos nuestra la escuela” is being implemented by UNICEF and the MoE in the municipality of Ciudad Delgado to develop strategies that will guarantee educational continuity of children and adolescents. On the other hand, the national security strategy embodied in the «Plan El Salvador Seguro» (Plan El Salvador Safe) has been implemented in 15 schools with approximately 7,000 children and adolescents. The municipality of Ciudad Delgado is also part of this strategy. In 2017, a communication strategy, as well as resources will be design and validated, to implement in selected schools.

    In the framework of the “Strong schools and communities’ Initiative”, some important advocacy and knowledge documents have been produced at the regional level. Some of these documents are the following: Working together to build safe schools and protective learning environments; How can business make a difference?; Good practices and innovative initiatives in Education. These documents will be disseminated among CO and partners during the last trimester of 2017.

    The lessons learnt and materials already produce in the framework of this initiative will be disseminate across the region between the partners and country offices, as well as, through social media and digital channels. In the framework of this initiative, the advocacy messages and communication strategies will be shared during high-level meetings, at the regional and national levels.

    UNICEF LACRO, as part of the inter-agency Regional DRR and EiE group, work with the Ministries of Education to improve the impact of disaster risk reduction and emergency response actions in the education sector under a human rights-based approach. In the framework of the Regional plan, DRR capacity building and knowledge development activities will take place during the last quarter of the year.
