Socaba is currently looking for two consultants for the following Danida-funded opportunity: Mapping of the interlinkages between climate change, conflict, fragility, displacement and migration in the Sahel and Horn of Africa Regions.

The overall goal of the assignment is to strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to avoid, minimize or address the effects of climate change in fragile situations, including as a driver or threat multiplayer of fragility, conflict, displacement and irregular migration. The programme will be flexible to be able to respond to new demands and seize new opportunities and will, inter alia, seek to support local solutions to problems reinforced by climate change in urban and rural areas with particularly affected local populations. In order to prepare the new initiative, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) wishes to map the climate-fragility-conflict challenges in each region and their links to migration and displacement.

The objective of the assignment is, within the Sahel and Horn of Africa regions, to identify and provide a structured overview of the climate-fragility-conflict challenges, their links to migration and displacement, the existing architecture to respond to these challenges, and a range of possible entry points for a Danish engagement.

The aim of the mapping is to provide a basis for discussion and reflection in the MFA and with stakeholders on how to prioritize the new initiative. The assignment will involve subsequent presentation of study findings and options as an input to expert discussion panels and internal consultations in MFA. The mapping will help to frame problem understanding and identify possible options for the focus of the new initiative, thus informing the subsequent process of formulating and programming the initiative. As such, the mapping should focus on framing the overall problem(s) and identifying possible ways to approach this.

The project will begin 06 January 2020, and is expected to be concluded by 15 February 2020

The geographic focus of the mapping is:

1. the Sahel region, specifically Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
2. the Horn of Africa region, including specifically Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya.

The two Experts we are looking for:

Consultant 1: Climate-conflict-fragility-migration expert for the Horn of Africa

General qualifications:

• Recognised Master’s Degree in relevant field.

• Good knowledge about the climate-conflict-fragility nexus and experience with the international and regional landscape of international organisations and agencies, instruments and programmes intervening here.
• Good understanding of the linkages from climate-conflict-fragility towards displacement and migration.
• Good experience in the area of adaptation to the impacts of climate change and resilience building.
• Familiarity with the latest knowledge about scenarios for climate change impacts in the Horn of Africa and latest thinking and best practice for addressing, limiting and reducing the these impacts in fragile situations.
• Solid knowledge of Danida’s Aid Management Guidelines, including key cross cutting concepts, tools and methods such as theory of change, human rights based approach, gender equality, role of civil society, private sector involvement, etc.

Experience from the Horn of Africa:
