south Asia and Africa.
ACTED has been active in
While most of ACTED’s operations in Afghanistan have so far been centered on
relief activities (e.g. provision of food, shelter, response to natural
disasters and IDP camp management), the agency is moving towards an integrated
development strategy including community mobilization, infrastructure
rehabilitation, water and sanitation, agriculture and micro-credit. As such,
ACTED is both growing and changing, and requires staff which have the ability
to operate in and manage this change effectively and creatively.
Background on program:
ACTED is seeking a highly qualified and experienced individual for a two-month
assessment of one provincial governor’s office in the south of Afghanistan, in
order to facilitate the provincial governor’s office’s (PGO), and provincial
reconstruction office’s (PRO), acceptance into the Priority Reform and
Restructuring (PRR) framework.
Responsibilities:
This high-profile assessment will be published and is intended to be presented
as a possible model of feasible reform of governor’s offices within the
The technical side of the appraisal will have two primary objectives:
·
To understand how to reform the governor’s office in Paktya under
the PRR act;
·
To understand how the PRO can add value by being integrated into
the governor’s office.
To fully appraise the situation, the assessment will cover two main areas:
·
The PRR and IARCSC structures and contacts needed to fulfill all
requirements and manage restructuring, including how to make a proposal;
·
Existing reform projects in similar administrative bodies, such as
other governor’s offices.
The following results are expected:
·
ACTED, the PGO, and other stakeholders will understand the key
roadblocks to reform, and what facilitates the process.
·
The report will include lessons learned and best practices in
sub-national reform as already carried out under the PRR, as well as failures
and a list of activities to avoid.
·
It will also include a summary of results of reform under the PRR,
especially changes in motivation, skills acquired, and governance outputs
(projects completed, etc.).
·
The report will include an ideal outline of a proposal for PRR
status (outlines for the first and second stages must be included) as well as a
section on specific points to be included in the proposal. This will also
include:
·
A list of key contacts for the governor’s office and future
advisors should be attached as an annex.
·
PRR status recommendations will be divided into two categories:
those that can be carried out regardless of the national administration’s prerogative
and progress, and those that rely on the PRR act and commission’s functioning
as planned.
·
Finally, the report will address the means of working with the
commissions, including meetings that should be scheduled or attended, and
resources that the commissions make available.
Qualifications and skills:
The qualified candidates will posses:
·
At least three years of experience in

Context of the post :
After 23 years of war, which result in populations suffering from conflict,
forced displacement, malnutrition, absence of health care disability has become
a crucial issue.
Very little has been done so far in the Afghan society to integrate Persons
with Disabilities (PwDs) The idea of setting up a
Community Center for the Disabled (CCD) emerged last year following a call for
proposals launched by UNDP. Ideas ranged from concrete activities aiming at
facilitating the access of PwDs to education and employment to ways to lobby
effectively the Afghan Government and influence the national strategy.
The CCD is now in a phase where it can start to be replicated in other major
Afghan cities, while still the organizational structure needs more work and
definition. It is currently set up as an HI project, but should become as soon
as possible and when the structure would be strong enough an independent
organization.

CCDs:

running projects in the fields of: education, vocational training, employment support.
·
To develop new project activities and new modules on disability
awareness raising, aimed both at PwDs and other
audiences.

existing networks try to facilitate exchange, seminars and relevant training.
·
To prepare the long term strategy for the future of the CCD, with
possible duplication in

stakeholders (eg DPOs, other NGOs working in the disability field, and
UNDP/NPAD);

and local levels);
·
To supervise the technical work in all CCD activities and ensure a
good quality level of projects
·
To report to the HI Programme Director.

Type of Appointment: Special Service Agreement (SSA) equivalent to P3
Duration: Six months, with Possibility of Extension
Organisation: UNDP
Duty Station: Kabul, Afghanistan
Closing Date: 20 March 2005
Background
Almost more than two decades of devastating war and civil conflict in
Afghanistan have severely tainted the infrastructures and hindered rural
agricultural activities that resulted in forcing thousands of rural inhabitants
to move into the cities, where limited basic facilities existed. This situation
diversified the extent of environment issues causing numerous social and
economic hurdles ahead of living standards and economic growth. Continued conflict
has exposed the existed national strategies on environment protection on a
stand stall status that geared up disintegration of local and national
consensus. At the same manner, the drought years, starting in 1969 and reaching
to an alarming stage in 1997, have compounded a state of widespread and serious
degradation of resources, for instance, water tables gone down, grazing lands
dried up, most of the forests denuded, agricultural lands eroded and wildlife
populations depleted. Consequently, the country faced with a devastating
environmental crisis caused by war, abandoned use of natural resources, both of
which have been compounded by drought. In addition, little information is
available on the original ecosystem such as the quality of air, water, vegetation,
farmland, soil type, land use and other environmental factors that has been
attributed to the lack of relevant organizations and the absence of expertise
in the country.

focus areas that is vital for sustainable development in

Closing date:
Final Evaluation:
Rural Rehabilitation Program in the Western Zone of Afghanistan: Pasaband and
Taywara Districts
Date:
Context:
Population from the districts of Taywara and Passaband - Ghor province have
been facing a very critical food security situation due to climatic hazards (6
year non-stop drought), geographic difficulties (isolation and altitude) and
political conflicts (fighting until 2001). The livestock, considered as the
main source of revenue, has been largely wiped out, and the land, which depends
mainly on rainfall, has become unproductive.
The program has been designed according to an integrated approach and
encompasses activities addressing:
·
The sustainable reconstitution and diversification of the
agricultural production capital,
·
the improvement of herds management, animal feeding and stables,
·
the introduction of the European like spinning wheel to provide
off farm revenues to women,
·
the building/rehabilitation of road infrastructures to provide off
farm incomes to most vulnerable families and open up the region ,
·
the support to private producers’ associations.
The chronic instability and insecurity in
Justification of the evaluation:
A final evaluation should be carried out before the termination of the contract
and handed to the European Commission. The consultation should mainly focus on
the program impact on the reinforcement of the food security situation in both
Taywara and Passaband districts.
Overall objective of the evaluation:
The final evaluation will produce a critical analysis of the impact and
durability of the achievements, considering the context of insecurity the
project had to deal with from 2002. This analysis will particularly focus on
the reconstruction of productive systems and the contribution of the project to
the stabilization of residents and to the resettlement of returnees. In
addition, the evaluation will assess the cost-effectiveness of the strategy and
provide recommendations for future projects, more centered on a participatory
approach.
Specific objectives of the evaluation:
1. Impact of the project on the reconstruction of productive systems
The evaluation will focus on the following areas of investigation:
·
Benefits received by primary stakeholders and their role in the improvement
of local livelihoods and food security for:
·
Families of indebted livestock farmers who have lost virtually all
their animals
·
Small non-landowning farmers
·
Non-farmers
·
Women able to work
·
Contribution to the recovery of agricultural production systems
(mostly agriculture and livestock)
·
Contribution to the re-integration of returnees and to the
prevention of new departures
·
Unexpected and adverse results of the project
2. Efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the strategy implemented
The evaluation will focus on the following areas of investigation:
·
Selection processes of primary stakeholders, vulnerability status
of target beneficiaries and involvement of community elders in the program
·
Collaboration between sectors and outcomes regarding the
integration of activities
·
Expenses, number of primary and secondary stakeholders and
outcomes of the operation: How could the strategy be more cost-effective?

VACANCY
ANNOUNCEMENT No. 2005/02/042
Date: 21 February 2005
Post Title: Project Manager, Support to IARCSC - Leadership
Organizational Unit: UNDP Programme Division (State-building and Democratic
Governance)
Type of Appointment: ALD (equivalent to P4 / P5)
Duration: One year (Starting March 2005, with possibility of extension
for one year)
Duty Station: Kabul, Afghanistan
Deadline for application: 08 March 2005
Background:
The Government’s aim of restoring peace, creating stability and enabling a
successful, nationally owned process of reconstruction and development
throughout the country requires the rapid re-establishment of a competent and
efficient civil service.
The challenge of establishing a small, modern, capable, and fairly compensated
and results oriented civil service is a long-term process and will require
several interrelated activities. In addition to the reestablishment of
affordable structures, basic rules and regulations and the aggressive
recruitment of qualified individuals for key positions, there is a fundamental
need to train and develop civil servants throughout the government.
Today, the lack of human capacity is among the most serious problems facing the
Afghan civil service. For the past several years there has been minimal
investment in professional development. Moreover there is a lack of the core
competencies and specialist skills required to deliver improved results. The
problem is particularly acute at senior management level, where the absence of
merit-based appointments over many years means that there is no senior cadre
with genuine leadership and management skills.
In order to respond to the urgency of training and developing the Afghan Civil
Service the IARCSC, as the lead government institution on public
administration, has developed a Civil Service Leadership Development Strategy.
This will be implemented by its Training and Development Department over
2005-6. The Strategy sets out a development framework with three streams of new
development programs, namely Training Programs; Career Development Programs;
and External Development programs. The framework is outlined as an Attachment to
this TOR.
Upon the request of the IARCSC, UNDP will support the Training and Development
Department of the Commission in designing, coordinating and managing its
envisaged activities under the Strategy through the recently launched Civil
Service Leadership Development Project. For this purpose a PMU is to be set up
to manage the implementation process.
