Disaster Risk Management Expert

Functional Title:Consultant: Disaster Risk Management Expert

Duty Station:Maputo, Mozambique

Duration:6 Months (possibility of extension)

Contract Type:*Consultant*

Project Summary:

Annual large and small-scale disasters and emergency situations put a strain on the capacity of the Mozambican Government to respond from National levels to all locations that require their attention. In 2013, floods displaced over 150,000 people in Gaza Province, followed by small floods and conflict-induced displacement in 2014 in various locations. Due to the strain on Government capacity at the National level to respond to all locations simultaneously, the Parliament has passed the National Disaster Management Law (awaiting Presidential endorsement), and pushed for support of decentralized mechanisms and capacity building to improve the ability for Municipal and District Level actors to respond to localized emergencies before they become national disasters.

This project will support the Government of Mozambique to improve knowledge of roles and responsibilities of subnational state actors in a disaster, including the provision of simple and clear tools for use by local government officials in emergencies to report and make decisions. The project includes the creation of a single emergency preparedness and response toolkit, including dissemination tools on the new legal framework for disaster management, and tools and guides to address the key issues of risk analysis and contingency planning, rapid assessments, and information management. The toolkit will be tested and rolled out in key districts throughout the country. Additionally, the project will provide direct support to INGC and UN HCT actors to conduct assessments using these toolkits in the field during disasters, to promote their use, and to provide the Government with improved coordination, assessments and real-time information.

1. With the support of the Country Office and INGC, assess the various manuals, guides and tools that have been created by the Government of Mozambique and its Partners (UN/NGOs/HCT) and assess the quality and capacity of each tool or manual to be integrated into a single disaster risk management operations manual.
2. Lead a two-day inception workshop with key INGC Directors, technical officers, and Government-selected UN and NGO partners to present findings concerning existing manuals and tools; Establish the content (outline) of the final Manual to be created in coordination with the Government.
3. Coordinate with INGC to develop a multi-module Guide and Toolkit on the Coordination Mechanisms, Roles and Responsibilities, Contingency Planning, and Information Management required at national and subnational levels (e.g. Districts and Municipalities; Local Disaster Management Committees), before, during and after an emergency.
4. Circulate draft sections as needed to receive immediate feedback from key INGC and UN/NGO partners for the contents and details of the sections of the Manual.
5. Lead a 3-day workshop to assess the manual with the same participants that supported the inception work to receive feedback and approval for the manual.

Rural Solar Power Expert/Assessment Advisor

Background and Rationale

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Nigeria intends to contract the services of a Rural Solar Power Expert (Assessment Advisor) to assess specific needs and provide detailed specifications for the provision of solar power systems at five of Nigeria’s Border Crossing Posts (BCPs): three (3) on the Benin border, one (1) on the Cameroon border, and one (1) on the Niger border, and parallel systems provision at three or four NIS State offices overseeing these BCPs. The work will take place under the IOM project “Promoting Better Management of Migration in Nigeria”, under the European Union’s 10th EDF programme for Nigeria, and in full cooperation with the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).

Specific Activities to be Performed

a) Participate in on-site field assessments at the five BCPs and at their managing NIS State offices as part of an overall team led by Nigeria Immigration Service and IOM Nigeria. One full working day will be spent at each of the five BCPs, with part days at the managing NIS State offices. Certain trips will be combined for logistical advantage and the total field time commitment is anticipated to be 12 days. The level of effort is further specified in section four.

b) The consultant will assess the specific needs for each site (the five BCPs and their managing State offices) to provide adequate solar electric power for new computer systems to be installed at these locations. The computer systems will be designed for maximum power efficiency and will be minimalist in nature. The following technical issues will be among those addressed:

· site orientation and best kind, number and placement of solar panels, inverters and battery systems, and wiring appendages;

· interface issues with other electrical power sources, ensuring their best integration with the solar sources while also ensuring full solar capacity to the data systems in the event of failure of alternate supplies;

· appropriate considerations of the operation of the systems throughout the year, considering specifically extended rainy season performance issues;

· recommended maintenance schedule and preferred specifications for contracted maintenance services;

· recommended key elements of a training regimen for on-site and off-site NIS personnel to maintain and adapt the system, apart from contracted maintenance obligations; and,

other technical details that may be required to ensure the most appropriate, sustainable and fully effective solar power systems at these sites.

Expected Output

a) Detailed site reports with full technical specifications and equipment recommendations for each site (BCPs and managing State offices), and other pertinent information on key issues for solar installation and use;

b) Detailed technical specifications for IOM’s subsequent bid or tender procurement of the equipment;

c) Detailed recommendations for service contracts to maintain the systems;

d) Specification of the most important elements of a training regimen for NIS staff (on-site and off-site) who will be responsible for care and maintenance outside of the maintenance service contracts; and,

e) Summary final report highlighting common issues including technical, training and maintenance issues.

Duration

The work is anticipated to commence in late October and to proceed intermittently through the end of November or early December, 2014, and the level of effort is anticipated to be a total of 22 working days, including travel time, as follows:

· One (1) working day at each BCP site, for a total of five field work days;

· One-half (½) working day at three or four managing offices in the field, which is combined with a travel arrival or departure day;

· Two (2) working days (home based) to create the necessary reports and specifications for each site, as detailed in section two of this document (these reports will be required within five days of the completion of each site visit), for a total of ten days; and,

· Seven (7) travel days.

Costing

a) Consultant cost estimates should take into consideration:

· IOM will provide for all travel costs and, as such, these expenses should be excluded from all estimates of consultancy charges; and,

· IOM anticipates that expertise for this consultancy is available in Nigeria and that costs will reflect local standards for similar consultancy services.

b) All payment of consultant fees will be dependent upon full and satisfactory completion of the assignment.
