CONTEXT
OF WORK
Background
Through its Pakistan office IR has been
working in Afghanistan since 1992. In the
past IR has assisted in emergencies pertaining to earthquakes, occasional
drought assistance and other relief type of projects consisting of both food
and none food.
However, in view of the worsening crisis in Afghanistan, in early 2001, IR
took the decision to launch a mission in its own right, independent from Pakistan in to Afghanistan with its own
Country Representative. On 2 April 2001 IR Afghanistan
became a registered International NGO with a full-fledged office country office
in Kabul and sub-office in Kandahar . Throughout the
difficult period of September 2001 - January 2002 IR continued to remain
operational within Afghanistan in order to help the vulnerable
Present
Currently, the activities in Afghanistan consist of a large operational
programme in southern region and a smaller programme in the central regions.
The programmes focus on teacher training (education), seed distribution,
restocking and refurbishing irrigation structures. All projects are based on
community focused needs assesements.
As some resemblance of peace has now developed and elections have just taken
place we are in the process of developing our vision for the coming years in
order to make our interventions effective and help the people of Afghanistan within the context
of internationally agreed strategic frameworks.
Our present programme is supported by UNFAO (seeds and fertiliser
distributions), ECHO (irrigation and restocking), UNWFP (womens bakeries) and
Comic Relief (teacher training).
We will geographically focus our activities in :
- South (Kandahar, Helmand)
- Central (Kabul,)

The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) is the only independent
policy-research organization headquartered in Afghanistan. It is a dynamic
and growing institution with a mission to conduct quality action-oriented
research that will inform and influence policy and practice. Fundamental to
AREU's mission is that its work should improve Afghan lives. It seeks,
therefore, not just to produce reports, but to be part of a process of change
that will significantly improve the quality, impact and accountability of
reconstruction and development efforts.
AREU's research is largely qualitative in nature, and involves extensive
field work in urban and rural areas of Afghanistan. Its research
currently focuses on seven thematic areas: governance, livelihoods and
vulnerability, political economy and markets, natural resource management,
gender, education and health. In order to ensure that research findings
influence policy makers, AREU invests heavily in communications and advocacy
work, including publishing a wide range of research publications and policy
briefing papers, participating in key policy meetings, briefing key
policy-makers, and disseminating information through national and
international media channels.
AREU has a Board of Directors with equal representation from multilateral
organizations, bilateral donors and NGOs working in Afghanistan. The organization
currently employs about 60 national staff and 13 international staff, as well
as a number of shorter-term international consultants. While the number of
staff does fluctuate depending on current needs and funding, the trend is for
an increase in projects and staffing.
AREU is funded from a number of sources, but most significantly to-date from
the governments of Sweden and Switzerland, the United Nations
Assistance Mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA), the UK Department for
International Development (DfID), and from the European Commission. AREU's
2004 annual budget is approximately $2 million, but this is expected to rise
to closer to $3 million in 2005.

Background:
Afghanistan is now at a critical point in its history. There have been
significant gains made in the past two years of reconstruction and the
tangible benefits of development are beginning to be felt more widely by the
Afghan people. Now the country needs to transition from an emergency/aid
based economy to a more long-term sustainable development of trade and
private enterprise. After 23 years of conflict, the Afghan people are working
with a strong sense of urgency to restore peace and prosperity, and new
governmental reforms and legal frameworks are in place to support the
creation of a vibrant private sector.
The UNDP Partnerships for Private Sector Development (PPSD) project has been
set up to assist new Afghan businesses and small and medium sized enterprises
(SMEs) to obtain financing, strengthen management capacity and achieve
profitable growth.
The project will provide targeted assistance through:

assessments to identify sectors with particular potential for employment
creation and SME growth;
- Establishing a network of Business Advisory Centres offering a range of
business education, training and consultancy services; and
- Developing links between Afghan and international businesses.
The Kabul Business Assistance Centre is being set up in cooperation with the
Ministry of Commerce and the national network of Chambers of Commerce to help
Afghan start up businesses and SMEs to develop more rapidly, access finance
and find international partners and markets.
The BAC will offer a range of business education and consultancy services to
help client entrepreneurs and businesses to achieve their objectives, for
example:
- To develop proposals to local and international banks and other sources of
finance;
- To assess and develop local, regional, and international markets; and/or
- To create international business partnerships.
The services to be offered include:
- Introductory advice and fact sheets on business development issues;
- Classroom training and workshops; and
- Individual consultancy, management mentoring, and business development
services.
The Kabul BAC is intended to become a model for future expansion in other
cities across Afghanistan.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Together with the Ministry of Commerce, UNDP has identified a building for
use as the first BAC, on the grounds of the Afghan Chamber of Commerce and
Industry. A MoU allowing UNDP to use this building was signed in October
2004.
The building requires some reconstruction and renovation to become a usable
working space. The PPSD project team is working with the Project

VACANCY ANNOUNCMENT No.2004/12/315
Date: 19 December 2004
Post Title: International Senior Technical Advisor
Organizational Unit: UNDP Programme Division (State-building and
Democratic Governance)
Type of Appointment: Special Service Agreement (International)
Duration: 12 weeks (starting 01 February)
Duty Station: Kabul-Afghanistan
Number of Positions: 1 (One)
Background:
Decades of war and armed conflict in Afghanistan have destroyed much of the
infrastructure and human capital of the country. Women, in particular, were
targeted by systematic discrimination and exclusion from public, communal and
political life during this period. Under the Taliban rule, women were
subjected to violence, banned from education and literally removed from
public life. Unsurprisingly, these developments did not spare the Afghan
civil service, where women were forced to withdraw from their positions. As a
consequence, women's share of employment in the civil service, and especially
the number of women employed in higher positions is extremely low. Today,
even skilled and qualified women who were working with the Government in the
past are often unable to re-establish their careers.
At the same time, there is evidence that the civil service, particularly at
the individual ministry level, is not always representative of the population
of Afghanistan. The extent to which public institutions as employers provide
equal opportunities to all individuals regardless of language, religion,
ethnicity or disability, however, is an important issue in public
administration reform.
The Government of Afghanistan, which is committed to rebuilding a competent
and efficient civil service, has recognized the importance of establishing a
service that fully reflects the Afghan society and provides every group with
equal-opportunity access to employment. The objective of creating an
inclusive and representative civil service is grounded in the Afghan
Constitution ratified in January 2004 and has been adopted by the Ministerial
Advisory Committee on Public Administration Reform.
In order to respond to the challenge of re-establishing a competent,
efficient and representative civil service, the Independent Administrative
Reform and Civil Service Commission (IARCSC), the lead government institution
on public administration reform, has developed an ambitious and urgent
agenda.
Upon the request of the IARCSC, UNDP will support the Civil Service
Department of the Commission in developing and launching a multi-dimensional
long-term strategy in order to increase the gender balance and promote equal
opportunities in the Afghan civil service.
Objectives of the Preparatory Assistance Mission:
The mission will have the following objectives:
(1) Analyze gender disparities and obstacles to equal opportunities in the
Afghan civil service and identify opportunities and options to address these,
(2) Develop a multi-dimensional long-term strategy to increase the gender
balance in the Afghan civil service and promote equal opportunities to all
Afghans regardless of language, religion, ethnicity or disability,
(3) Build up the initial institutional capacity within the Commission to
support and implement related activities and initiatives in the future,
(4) Develop a project proposal for UNDP for support to the Government in the
field of women's advancement and equal opportunities in the Afghan civil
service.
The short-term mission, consisting of two technical advisors (preferably one
man, one women), will be based in the IARCSC and work closely with the
existing Government bodies involved in projects and activities related to
women's advancement and equal opportunities, including the Independent
Appointments Board and the Ministry of Women's Affairs.
Duties and responsibilities:
Under the overall guidance of the UNDP Senior Deputy Country Director
(Programme) and the IARCSC Director General of Civil Service and under the
direct supervision of the UNDP public administration reform focal point, the
technical advisors will assist the IARCSC to develop and launch a
multi-dimensional long-term strategy on women's advancement and equal
opportunities in the Afghan civil service.
The mission's tasks will include, but not necessarily be limited to:
(1) Assessment of current situation and needs:
Identify and preliminarily assess the situation of women in
the civil service, including the hindrances to their advancement and the
challenges to equal opportunities in the civil service;

service. If necessary, this could be done in partnership with a private,
non-governmental or civil society organization;
Establish an inventory of ongoing or planned reform
programs/public administration reform initiatives related to women's

attention will be paid to activities from the Ministry of Woman's Affairs;
Review the existing and draft civil service legislation to
analyze equal opportunities;
Meet the main stakeholders to solicit feedback on their
perceptions and activities (Civil Service Reform Commission, MOF, UNDP, WB,
etc.).
(2) Development of long-term strategy:
Develop a multi-dimensional long-term strategy that will
increase the gender balance and promote equal opportunities in the Afghan
civil service;
Develop a possible institutional capacity building strategy
for the IARCSC and partner ministries that is part, and in support of the
multi-dimensional long term strategy;
Design a comprehensive action plan with options for the
implementation of the strategy and identify national/international technical
assistance, resources and other support needed;
Liaise with civil society, non-governmental and private-sector
actors within the country in view of building strategic partnerships and
finding potential implementing partners for public awareness/education
campaigns;
Liaise with key stakeholders, including the donor community
and line ministries, in order to sensitize them and mobilize their support to
this effort of the government.
(3) Strengthening of organizational and human capacities of the IARCSC:
Set up a task force consisting of key stakeholders with the
aim of advising the IARCSC on issues related to equal opportunities and
women's advancement; exchanging knowledge, best practices and lessons learned
on these issues and discussing proposed activities and projects;
Establish an adequate organizational structure/institutional
focal point within the IARCSC capable of coordinating and leading on
affirmative action activities in the civil service, as well as sustaining the
proposed program and required activities and policies;
Work under the direction of the Civil Service Director to
develop the structure, mandate, functions and internal capacity of the focal
point with a view toward transforming it into an independent unit within the
IARCSC;
Support the IARCSC in creating links with NGOs, actors from
civil society or the private sector that could take over monitoring,
reporting, data collection or other functions.

the Government in the field of women's advancement and equal opportunities in
the Afghan civil service based on the proposed strategy;

duration of the consultancy. This will also include a list of key
deliverables that will be approved by UNDP. A de-briefing shall be delivered
to the Country Director, the Senior Deputy Country Director and to the
IARCSC. A final mission report will be submitted to UNDP no later than ten
days after the assignment. Reports and other relevant outputs will be shared

for interventions at different levels (individual, institutional and
national) and is of various modalities (targeting skills, attitudes and

Working under the supervision of CNFA Afghanistan’s Country Director, create
a viable enterprise design for post harvest potato handling and storage. The
focus of CNFA’s USDA-funded project is to stimulate linkages between
producers and markets, resulting in income and employment generation from the
sale of Afghan high-value agriculture production, while improving local value
adding capacity. Strategies aim to be replicable in multiple regions of
Afghanistan, initially focused on domestic markets. This enterprise design
for a post harvest potato handling and storage facility must be customized to
the local building materials available in Afghanistan. The consultant’s final
report should include estimates for the cost of these materials. This is an
18-day assignment.
Principle Responsibilities:
1) Analyze local potato harvest and storage practices. Afghanistan has very
few value-adding food processing and storage facilities.
2) Design a low-cost, post harvest storage facility for potatoes. Design must
be right-sized to the needs of the owners. It is anticipated low-tech
in-ground ventilated cellars at the individual farmer level or group of
farmers -- depending on the volume of their production -- is the correct
approach for Bamyan conditions. Construction of in-ground ventilated cellars
should use local building materials (cement, wood, prefab frames). However,
sizing, design, material used and construction costs will be defined by the consultant.
3) Identify local building materials for storage facility and record cost
estimates.
Potato is the main vegetable production in Afghanistan and accounts for 52%
of the area cultivated in vegetables. The annual production is estimated at
about half a million tons per year. The Central Highlands region is the main
area of potato production supplying 150,000 tons annually. Potato prices are
significantly higher in the spring and by storing potatoes and offsetting the
sale until spring, farmers can double and in some cases triple their income.
Simple ventilated storage facilities (cellars) are not used in the central
highlands, which leaves producers with a limited capacity to store potatoes
other than for seed.
Ideal Candidate:
Has academic training in agronomy, with experience in potato production,
post-harvest handling, and storage. Candidates with potato research, as well
as prior business management experience preferred. Has some knowledge of
agricultural production, processing, and trade in Afghanistan. Has excellent
conceptual, oral and written communication and people skills. Fluency in
English is a requirement.
Please send cover letter, resume and salary history to CNFA Careers,
careers@cnfa.org, with Potato Expert Afghanistan in the subject line. Kindly
indicate where you saw this advertisement. Application deadline is January
20, 2004. No phone calls please. Only candidates selected for interview will
be contacted. CNFA is an equal opportunity employer.
