BACKGROUND

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an independent, non-profit organization (NGO), founded on the basis of humanitarian principles, and human rights based approach, to secure the protection of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), and to promoting long term solutions to the problems of forced displacement. Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a specialized unit within DRC which implements mine action and armed violence reduction (AVR) programmes in fragile states throughout the developing world. The East Africa and Yemen region consists of programmes in seven countries including Somalia, Kenya, Yemen, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda and Tanzania

DDG has operated in Somalia since 1999 with a focus on community-driven approaches to Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) as well as humanitarian mine action. DDG has established itself as one of the main international actors engaged in bottom-up community safety, conflict management and security and justice reform in the country. DDG has worked in over two hundred communities and has over the past five years had an annual turnover around ten million dollars funded by most of the key institutional donors in Somalia. DDG is currently joining DFID’s Security and Justice Programme for Somalia as the partner ensuring community and district level engagement with security providers and traditional and modern justice providers initially in 10 urban and semi-urban centres across four states of southern Somalia. Given the complex and challenging operational environment that characterises much of Somalia, DDG recognises that understanding the changing context and ensuring the programme is conflict sensitive is essential to guarantee effective programme delivery in conflict-affected areas and avoid exacerbating conflict. Furthermore, it is a key priority of DDG and DFID to ensure a strong focus on learning and policy influencing in relation to security and justice reform in Somalia and other complex and insecure contexts.

The CAPA will also work with programme staff to develop training materials for communities, security providers and traditional authorities on use of conflict analysis tools.

The CAPA will be expected to identify conflict analysis needs, develop appropriate conflict analysis tools and guidelines, developing training materials for staff, supporting the Somalia country programme in planning and managing the implementation of conflict analysis and making use of conflict analysis for programme strategy development, project design, advocacy and fundraising.

BACKGROUND

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an independent, non-profit organization (NGO), founded on the basis of humanitarian principles, and human rights based approach, to secure the protection of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), and to promoting long term solutions to the problems of forced displacement. Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a specialized unit within DRC which implements mine action and armed violence reduction (AVR) programmes in fragile states throughout the developing world. The East Africa and Yemen region consists of programmes in seven countries including Somalia, Kenya, Yemen, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda and Tanzania

DDG has operated in Somalia since 1999 with a focus on community-driven approaches to Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) as well as humanitarian mine action. DDG has established itself as one of the main international actors engaged in bottom-up community safety, conflict management and security and justice reform in the country. DDG has worked in over two hundred communities and has over the past five years had an annual turnover around ten million dollars funded by most of the key institutional donors in Somalia. DDG is currently joining DFID’s Security and Justice Programme for Somalia as the partner ensuring community and district level engagement with security providers and traditional and modern justice providers initially in 10 urban and semi-urban centres across four states of southern Somalia. Given the complex and challenging operational environment that characterises much of Somalia, DDG recognises that understanding the changing context and ensuring the programme is conflict sensitive is essential to guarantee effective programme delivery in conflict-affected areas and avoid exacerbating conflict.
