ORGANISATIONS PARTENAIRES

L’ensemble des partenaires d’Oxfam dans le pays d’affectation recevant un appui sur la thématique de la participation citoyenne des jeunes dans le cadre du programme ACCÈS INNOVATION (PAI). Il s’agit principalement d’organisations de la société civile.

CONTEXTE DU POSTE/MANDAT

La stratégie centrale du programme repose sur l’assignation dans les pays d’intervention de conseillères et de conseillers techniques canadiens (ou résidents permanents) ayant pour mandat d’accroître les capacités techniques, administratives et financières des organisations partenaires locales. Ces appuis doivent permettre aux partenaires d’innover et de générer des changements durables dans leur milieu en matière de croissance économique, de sécurité alimentaire, d’égalité entre les sexes, de bonne gouvernance et de viabilité de l’environnement. Dans cette optique, le programme privilégie le développement de modèles et d’approches d’intervention innovants à travers une démarche qui sera soutenue par un réseau de partenaires canadiens composés d’organisations reconnues de la société civile, d’instituts de recherche ainsi que d’entreprises socialement responsables.
En ce qui concerne la population cible, le programme met les jeunes au cœur de toutes ses interventions, car ceux-ci sont trop souvent privés d’opportunités économiques et de pouvoir de décision et d’influence.

BACKGROUND

Fast growing cities and urban areas of the world are engines of growth and wealth accumulation. This growth can have positive social, cultural and educational impacts. On the other hand, evidence demonstrates that fast economic growth, combined with fast population expansion in urban areas, also increases disaster vulnerability and exposure. The level of urbanization is far higher in the developed world; however, the annual ‘urbanization rate’ is much faster in the developing world. The primary urban agglomerations with the highest concentrations of people and economic activity mostly overlap with the areas of extreme or high risk related to disasters such as coastal areas, along rivers and in flood plains. This joint initiative with UNISDR, UN-Habitat and the European Commission aims at improving understanding of, and capacity to, address disaster risk at the local level in crisis-prone cities. UN-Habitat will focus on supporting local capacities from crisis-prone cities, and humanitarian partners, in measuring their resilience status and have an action plan in order to build resilience.

The action builds on the achievements of the Hyogo Framework for Action – Building the Resilience of Nations 2005-2015, and paves the way toward the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR 2015-2030 at the local level. The Action will also contribute to the European Commission’s Action Plan for Resilience in Crisis Prone Countries 2013-2020 and The EU Approach to Resilience: Learning from Food Security Crises.

The project will work with local government institutions, to plan, coordinate, implement and support the various outlined activities. The primary and most direct beneficiaries will be local stakeholders, city authorities and civil society. Women, children and other at risk groups, as local level stakeholders, often disproportionately affected by crises situations, will be engaged and receive additional attention.

MAIN OBJECTIVE

The overall objective of this project is to build more sustainable and resilient cities, by strengthening the capacity of key public, private and civil society stakeholders to measure, plan and act in building resilience to ensure that public and private investments are risk-informed and that early interventions in crisis-prone cities are linked to longer-term development goals. This joint initiative aims at improving local government and stakeholder understanding of, and capacity for, developing and implementing resilience action plans.

The expected results are:

1. Increased commitments to build local-level resilience,

2. Local Resilience and investments measured,

3. Key issues and challenges identified in linking early interventions in crisis-prone cities to long-term sustainable development inputs,

4. Capacity is built in cities and local governments to develop and implement integrated local climate and disaster resilience action plans and

5. Crisis-prone cities have enhanced capacity to develop and implement plans to increase their resiliency.

UN-Habitat will work in coordination with the Commission and EU Delegations in each city to ensure consistency with the EC programming documents and complementarity between thematic and geographic actions; this will also ensure complementarities of activities funded by other programmes and initiatives undertaken by other partners operating at the local level and globally.

MAIN TASKS OF THE ASSIGNMENT

• Analyse the inter-connected relationships of the social, public service, governance, and

economy elements of the CRPT to provide holistic comprehensive assessments.

• Develop the social element of the CRPT to ensure that culture, ethnicity, well-being and social change aspects of the urban system have been fully considered in the analysis. Special account should be taken of informal city structures, gender and land tenure issues.

• Support the CRPP Team in facilitating communications with the programme pilot cities and partner organisation to inform the development of the CRPT.

• Assist in development of social resilience indicators, results and action plans for cities.

• Advise on data collection processes for inclusive cities.
