Job Title Programme Director on Demobilization Disarmament & Reintegration

United Nations Development Programme (http://www.undp.org/afghanistan)

Job Location Afghanistan

Closing date 15 Jan 2004

Job Description and qualifications:

VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT No.12/235

Post Title: Programme Director on Demobilization Disarmament & Reintegration

Organizational Unit: ANBP

Type of Appointment: D1/D2

Duration: Twelve Months

Duty Station: Kabul- Afghanistan

Number of Positions: 1 (One)

Closing Date for applications:15 January 2004

Background:

Security in Afghanistan is a fundamental prerequisite for social and economic development. With support from the International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF), the Afghan Government has achieved a large degree of security in and around Kabul. Armed conflict still erupts among well-armed local commanders on a regular basis, and the resurgence of Taliban-related violence in southern and southeastern Afghanistan is also threatening reconstruction efforts and the prospect for political stability and full implementation of the Bonn Agreement. Security in Afghanistan can only be assured if the state possesses the exclusive monopoly of force.

The requirements include the creation of an Afghan National Army (ANA) with an estimated size of 70,000) and finding alternative livelihoods for 100,000 ex-combatants. Creating the Afghan National Army (ANA) and reducing the existing numbers of soldiers and militias who have joined the Afghan Military Forces since the fall of the Taliban are a must.

The international community is committed to supporting the Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan (TISA), through four created commissions, in the Disarmament, Demobilization and Re-integration (DDR) process. To do so, UNDP has set up a programme in partnership with UNAMA, named 'Afghanistan's New Beginnings Programme' (ANBP) to support the works of these commissions in effectively discharging their mandates. Additionally, ANBP will provide technical support and assist the Commissions to develop and implement an integrated DDR strategy including building the capacities of line ministries to develop and implement commission-approved programmes in all areas of DDR. In addition, the ANBP will support the ministries' monitoring and evaluation efforts.

The ANBP established a pilot programme aiming at processing 8,000 combatants in six locations. In early 2004, the programme will enter its main phase covering an additional 92,000 combatants and officers.

The disarmament component takes place through the Mobile Disarmament Units (MDUs) where eligible weapons are identified, listed and collected. These MDUs operate in support of Regional Offices where disarmed soldiers undergo demobilization, and reintegration phases.

The reintegration strategy will aim to create conditions for demobilized ex-soldiers to become productive members of their communities through employment creation, credit opportunities, vocational training, and access to education and options to join the new Afghan National Army and police force. Critical linkages are expected to be established with other programmes - such as area based development, urban public works, and mine action - in identifying opportunities for former combatants to engage productively in the nation-building process.

Organizationally, the ANBP consists of a head office in Kabul and 8 regional offices, employing more than 50 international and 450 national staff. The current budget available amounts to nearly US$ 40 million and is estimated to reach more than US$ 160 millions over three years, raised from voluntary contributions by governments.

Duties and responsibilities:

The successful applicant will serve as Programme Director for ANBP and also act as a senior DDR advisor to the Senior Representative of the Secretary General. As such, he/she is expected to fulfil the following tasks:

- Provide effective leadership and ensure the overall management of the ANBP programme and all its components, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration though efficient utilization of resources in accordance with UNDP rules and policies;

Job Location Afghanistan (Jawzjan & Samangan Provinces, District 16 Kabul)

Closing date 07 Jan 2004

Job Description and qualifications:

OVERALL DESCRIPTION

General Description of the Afghanistan Programme:

GOAL has been working in northern Afghanistan since June 2001 and is lead agency for the UN in Samangan and Jawzjan provinces. The current programme involves community development, food-security/agricultural and engineering projects. GOAL is committed to assisting the rural communities to redevelop their livelihoods and ensure their food security by working with them in rehabilitating their basic infrastructures.

Other aspects of GOAL's work in the region has been it's response to two major earthquakes in neighboring provinces acting as the logistics managers for the UN operation, and the response to a locust infestation which was threatening the current year's harvests.

General Description of the Role:

Eighty-five percent of Afghanistan's economy is dependent on agriculture. In northern Afghanistan, a long history of war and the recent history of drought and famine had forced many families from their small farm holdings to migrate to more food secure areas and places of greater safety. With the advent of peace in Afghanistan, and the end of a three-year period of drought, families are eager to return home to their communities of origin. Families who stayed have managed to thrive in these areas but are, in many cases, living in dire poverty and are food insecure while returning families will be forced to rebuild their livelihoods from scratch.

A significant element of GOAL's programme is to work with these families and returning families, the local authorities and other community organizations in rebuilding the agri-sector. The main areas in which GOAL will assist will be the provision of technical advice, the provision of seeds and tools and the coordination of all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the funds available for the projects are put to the best use. The work will involve developing the crops that have been historically cultivated in the region while providing advice on the potential for diversification of crops, encouraging the farming of new crops - fruit and timber trees and vegetables that will be suitable for the climate of the region.

In addition, as a result of the hostilities many rural infrastructures such as irrigation systems, flood control measures, rainfall and snow melt-water ponds for animals and humans have suffered from both neglect and deliberate destruction. The rehabilitation of infrastructure will be the responsibility of the engineering team but technical advice and inputs will be required from the agriculturalist.

GOAL Afghanistan has recently amalgamated its agriculture department with the food-security surveillance department. The newly formed food-security department encompassing agriculture, food-security and alternative livelihood activities is headed by an Afghan counterpart, managing a strong local team. The forthcoming activities of the department are summarized as follows:

MERLIN

Merlin is a humanitarian Non Governmental Organisation, providing health care to populations in crises. This assistance is targeted at the most vulnerable populations, who have the greatest health needs and poorest access to healthcare provision.

Merlin provides health care to populations regardless of race, religion or political affiliation to support people affected by war or natural disaster, anywhere in the world. Merlin focuses on providing quality healthcare addressing needs within the realms of infectious disease control, primary healthcare, maternal child healthcare, TB, malaria control and laboratory rehabilitation.

Merlin works within existing local health structures and collaborates with other agencies, where possible, to increase efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian assistance.

Merlin currently supports health programmes in Afghanistan, Albania, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, Congo, Kenya, Siberia, India, East Timor and Tajikistan.

MERLIN Afghanistan

Merlin's activities in Afghanistan span two different periods: 1994-1999 and 2001 to the present. Merlin undertook its first assessment in Afghanistan in October 1993, and became operational in December 1994. Areas of operation were Kandahar (Dec 94 - Dec 95), Badakhshan (Aug 96 - Aug 99), Badghis (March 96 - July 99) and Farah (March 95 - July 99). Operations were closed in August 1999. This reflected a policy decision prompted by increased difficulties experienced in working with the Taliban regime. Merlin run running primary health care services in a number of districts in the above mentioned provinces.

Merlin returned to Afghanistan in 2001 assisting the IDPs/refugees stranded along the Tajik/Afghan border in the North-eastern region (River Pianj islands). Merlin increasingly assisted the provincial MoH to re-establish health care services for both returning and existing population with DFID, AUSTCARE and UNHCR funding. Merlin worked in Baghlan and Kunduz provinces until March and June 2003 respectively, and continues to operate in Takhar, supporting a network of nine primary health care clinics (static and mobile) in collaboration with the provincial MoH. The package includes ensuring access to health care in the target area (running mobile clinics where the needs are absolutely unmet; training of TBAs/CHWs), maintaining quality of the services (provision of essential drugs on a regular basis; initial and refresher training of health workers, enforcement of standardised treatment protocols, the introduction of HIS forms, provision of incentives, establishing and enhancing EPI and MCH services, and capacity building of the MoH (training, provision of necessary equipment, and refurbishment and maintenance of existing MoH facilities). Merlin has rehabilitated health facilities and two laboratory facilities in Kunduz and Taloqan provincial hospitals through DFID/UNHCR Quick Impact Projects (QIPs). With MSH/USAID support Merlin also runs a malaria and leishmaniasis control project aimed at improving case management and strengthening malaria prevention activities in the three provinces, malaria drug efficacy studies have been conducted in conjunction with WHO, and malaria control has been incorporated into PHC programmes in the target area. The effectiveness of this approach was recently evaluated by an External Evaluation team. Merlin operated in Kabul, where it rehabilitated part of the MoH building; clinical laboratories of five hospitals, and three health facilities. Merlin also recently ran a highly successful Malaria Awareness Campaign in Taloqan and Kunduz, promoting the use of bednets through a football tournament, and also erecting signboards in Takhar and Kunduz provinces. The existing programme will now be superceded by a greatly enlarged project - the provision of the Basic Package of Health Services in six Provinces of Takhar, NE Afghanistan for the coming 2 ½ years.
