EVALUATION OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of this evaluation is to review DRC’s BPRM supported protection project focusing on the implementation strategy used, key achievements, challenges and lessons learnt. This evaluation is expected to contribute to increased protection of displacement affected communities we serve by formulating an understanding of what has worked well and what the challenges have been in the current project and in the current context, along with recommendations for improvement.

Closing date: 08 Aug 2017

Please note: Due to the urgency to fill the post, recruitment will be done on the rolling basis and DRC reserves the right to recruit before the deadline.

Who are we?

Present in Iraq since 2003, DRC is today operational in the Kurdish governorates, in and around Baghdad and in several South-Central governorates. Focused both on the influx of Syrian refugees and the current IDP crisis, DRC is providing assistance in a range of sectors including Camp Coordination and Camp Management, Protection, Livelihoods, Emergency Response (including food security, cash, and NFIs), WASH, Shelter and Mine Action. The Iraq programme presently employs some 450 national staff and 50 international staff, and is growing to meet new, emerging needs associated with ongoing and recent conflict in multiple locations.

About the job

Support sub-national and governorate level PWGs in the development of governorate-specific tools and work plans and ensure a coordinated protection response to meet the needs of the cluster’s populations of concern;

Accountability to Affected Populations

Based on assessed protection vulnerabilities, needs and gaps, develop or update agreed upon response strategies and action plans for the Cluster and ensure that these are adequately reflected in overall country strategies.
Ensure that Cluster participants are aware of relevant policy guidelines, technical standards and relevant commitments under international humanitarian and human rights law;
Support and build the capacity of the Government to uphold its obligation and responsibilities to protect the rights of affected civilian population in adherence with international and national laws.

Promotion of protection mainstreaming

Ensure the integration of protection considerations in sectorial needs assessments, analysis, planning, monitoring and response; ensure gender-sensitive programming and promote gender equality;
Ensure that the needs, contributions and capacities of women, girls, men and boys of all background are reflected in partners’ programming.
Promote and support training of humanitarian partners and other cluster members to improve mainstreaming of protection into sectorial responses.
Support the development and/or harmonization of vulnerability criteria for targeted assistance.
Support the GBV Sub-Cluster with respect to its participation in the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) Network.

Training and capacity-building

Promote and support training of humanitarian partners and other cluster members to improve mainstreaming of protection into sectorial responses;
Support and build the capacity of the Government to uphold its obligation and responsibilities to protect the rights of affected civilian population in adherence with international and national law
Monitoring, reporting and analysis
Support proper reporting on the protection activities and functioning of information management system for the protection cluster;
Support efforts to harmonize protection monitoring tools, reporting/vulnerability assessment formats in consultation with cluster member organizations;
Support adequate reporting and effective information sharing, with due regard for age and sex disaggregation;
Streamline methods to share information including reports with partners, as well as to be submitted to OCHA and UNHCR (including weekly updates, bulletin, website, etc.)

Advocacy and resource mobilization

Identify core advocacy concerns for the Protection Cluster through consultative processes, including resource requirements;
Contribute key messages to broader advocacy initiatives of the HCT and other relevant actors and support local interventions when violations of international standards and principles occur;
Ensure the Protection Cluster’s adherence to international humanitarian and international human rights laws and instruments, the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, and other relevant instruments.

The Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat

The overall objective of the Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat (RMMS) East Africa & Yemen (EAY) is to support agencies, institutions and forums in the Horn of Africa and Yemen sub-region to improve the management of protection and assistance response to people in mixed migration flows in the Horn of Africa and across the Gulf of Aden or Red Sea in Yemen, as well as other migratory routes from the Horn outwards in northerly, westerly and southern directions. To do this it produces a range of information, research and analysis and participates in the displacement sector in terms of policy debate, policy dialogue and data gathering innovations (the Mixed Migration Monitoring Mechanism initiative, 4Mi).
The Horn of Africa is an important departure point for people in mixed migration flows. Each year tens of thousands of people leave the Horn of Africa and move within the Horn of Africa, in the hope of finding a safer or brighter future elsewhere. Most move with smugglers and the routes used are dynamic and changing.

The RMMS has been hosted and managed by the DRC Regional Office for East Africa and Yemen, in Nairobi. The work of RMMS is guided by Steering Committee, consisting of 8 representatives (one from each of the following: UNHCR, IOM, Intersos DRC, the Swiss Agency of Development Cooperation, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the EU Delegation to Kenya and IGAD), meeting twice a year to discuss the RMMS activities and work plans.

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) have recently established a Global Mixed Migration Secretariat (GMMS) with a centralized coordination structure overseeing the different RMMS entities, global 4Mi activities and DRC’s mixed migration strategy in general. The new GMMS is based out of Geneva and has an initial structure of three staff: a Strategic Lead (Coordinator), a Global Specialist Lead, and a Policy and Research Coordinator. The GMMS will be managed and supported by the DRC headquarters in Copenhagen.

Background
RMMS research and analysis products are used by policy-makers and those working with governments and mandated agencies, and RMMS staff are frequently invited to speak and present at high level meetings, conferences and workshops where policy is discussed and considered. However RMMS East Africa and Yemen (EAY) has yet to develop a targeted policy advocacy strategy that actively links the research and analysis to the policy discussions, and there is most likely a missed opportunity if DRC/RMMS does not attempt to engage more thoroughly or more deliberately with policy development.

There is a need to take the data collection, research and analysis by RMMS to the policy-making and policy dialogue level to support various processes that encompass policy development as well as operationalization of responses to mixed migration phenomena. In particular, in the East Africa and Yemen region new opportunities exist to:

Contribute to the regional policy development in the Horn of Africa (e.g. Khartoum Process, IGAD RCPs, African Union, etc.)
Based on knowledge from the region, contribute to multilateral dialogues (i.e. the Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees, Valletta Process, EU Trust Fund initiatives etc.) by providing policy relevant analysis and recommendations on mixed migration in the Horn of Africa

An external evaluation commissioned by the Swiss government in 2015/16 provided a strong justification for increased engagement by RMMS in regional policy processes, highlighting the need “to further the support to actors in the sector by heightening the research focus on best-practices, solutions, country specific break-down of data and issue/topic specific research [..] helping actors translate the research into interventions and can increase the impact of RMMS” and suggesting RMMS “should develop a clear advocacy strategy. The strategy should focus on how to influence regional actors such as the African Union and IGAD, as well as global actors such as UN agencies and EU. With RMMS regional position they are well-positioned to influence such actors, while conducting national level advocacy would require more presence in the various countries”.

Against this background, RMMS aims to recruit a Policy Advisor and Analyst to strengthen RMMS’s engagement in regional policy development.

Objectives and key responsibilities
Overall objectives:

To bridge the gap between research and analysis and evidence based policy development in the East Africa and Yemen region.
To provide policy relevant analysis and recommendations on mixed migration in the East Africa and Yemen region.
To influence regional policy processes and improve migration policies in the region.

Key responsibilities/tasks of the Policy Advisor and Analyst

Map relevant mixed migration actors and identification of specific process, fora, institutions and partners to engage with
Identify specific assets, areas of expertise and added value RMMS can offer the policy environment
Lead on policy-focused research on mixed migration, through the publication of two policy briefing papers
Develop strong linkages between RMMS data collection, research & analysis and policy development and operational responses
Develop a policy development strategy for the RMMS EAY to increase its capacity to influence regional and global policy dialogues
Develop a work plan for the implementation of policy development strategy (including activities, targeted actors, institutional set-up and objectives)
Develop and maintain excellent relations with regional and national stakeholders (e.g. IGAD, AU, national counterparts, etc.) and relevant international actors in the region (UN agencies, donors/embassies, EU, NGOs) and establish new partnerships where relevant
Engage and represent RMMS in regional fora such as the Khartoum Process, the IGAD Regional Consultation Process, Regional Committee on Mixed Migration, etc.
Organise events that contribute to mixed migration policy development in the region (e.g. roundtables, debates, seminars, research launches, etc.)
Contribute to regular RMMS products, such as feature articles on the website, monthly summaries and maps, quarterly and annual trend analysis, etc.
Work closely with the RMMS team in Nairobi, relevant DRC staff in the region and the Policy and Research Coordinator of the Global Mixed Migration Secretariat in Geneva
Ensure a regular exchange of information with interested donors in particular with regards to policy relevant RMMS activities.
Manage any external consultants working on special (research) projects
In close cooperation with the RMMS Coordinator (and under the overall responsibility of the Coordinator), bring in new donors to develop a sustainable engagement of RMMS in regional policy development

Reporting Arrangements
• The Policy Advisor and Analyst will be supervised by the RMMS Coordinator. The Policy Advisor and Analyst may have to manage and supervise short-term consultants.

About you
In this position, you are expected to demonstrate DRC’s five core competencies:

Striving for excellence: You focus on reaching results while ensuring an efficient process.
