Tenders Are Invited For Consultant Country Analyst On The Localization Of Humanitarian Aid

Tenders are invited for Consultant Country Analyst on the Localization of Humanitarian Aid Democratic Republic of Congo. Closing Date: 8 Dec 2024 Type: Consultancy Founded in 1962, the International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA) is a global network of more than 160 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in 160 countries. Its mission is to make humanitarian action more effective and principled by working collectively and independently to influence policy and practice. ICVA promotes and facilitates effective NGO engagement in the humanitarian sector, focusing on issues of forced migration, humanitarian coordination, humanitarian financing and systems strengthening. About CONAFOHD Founded in 2021, the National Council of Humanitarian and Development NGOs Forums of the DRC (CONAFOHD) is a national network of more than 500 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), united within 5 regional platforms that constitute it, operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its vision is: to see the materialization in the DRC of the localization of humanitarian aid, allowing local actors to play the leading role in the humanitarian response, participate in the leadership of humanitarian coordination and be fully involved in the transition to development. CONAFOHD promotes the promotion of local humanitarian leadership. Context of the consultation: Localization has become a key issue in humanitarian aid in recent years. Since the Grand Bargain commitments, particularly in West and Central Africa over the last two years, several initiatives have been undertaken to improve the role of national actors in humanitarian responses, including: Permanent seats within the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and key coordination forums. More partnerships and capacity building initiatives. Improved direct access to funding. Localization forums and working groups. However, without clearly established objectives and measurable criteria, it remains difficult to assess progress made in localization and identify remaining challenges. ICVA and its partners have developed a regional methodology to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the degree of localization of humanitarian responses, monitor progress and identify successes and challenges in West and Central African countries. This methodology aims to: Ensure a system of best practices and lessons learned. Advocate for evidence-based policies. Improve the localization agenda in countries with concrete proposals. The project is regional to ensure harmonization, benchmarking and constructive exchanges of good practices between countries. However, it relies heavily on national leadership (via the national project steering committee) to ensure alignment with the needs and expectations of national actors, full ownership of the project and long-term sustainability. Given recent advances in localization, CONAFOHD will lead the project in the DRC in collaboration with ICVA. Scope of work The consultant analyst will be expected to implement the methodology and tools developed at the regional level in the country. He will be supported by a country consultant in information management (IM). A regional consultant (Regional Information Management Advisor) will provide support and advice on the technical aspects of the project (tools, methodology, etc.). Each country will have to appropriate the methodology and tools developed to adapt them and ensure the best possible ownership of the project. Under the direction of CONAFOHD, the analyst consultant will therefore have to liaise with the regional consultant and the country GI consultant to ensure (i) that the project fits into the regional framework and (ii) that as many people as possible take ownership of the project at the country level.
