Antecedentes

Organizational Context

The UNDP Somalia Country Programme is focusing on post conflict recovery and consolidation of peace. The Programme is compost of Rule of Law and Security, Recovery and Sustainable Livelihoods, Governance, Human Development and Economics. The cross cutting areas/projects are HIV/AIDS, ICT, human rights and gender.

The overall objective of the Inclusive Development and Poverty Reduction project under the HDEU Unit is to support the Somali administrations to identify the necessary interventions required to meet basic service delivery functions and attain the MDGs to promote human development and reduce poverty, strengthen institutional capacity and mobilize support for implementation. The project will support the production of the Somalia Human Development Report 2010 and the introduction of the human development course in select universities. The project will also build and strengthen the foundations for a nationally-owned, participatory process to prepare MDG-aligned development strategies and strengthen institutional capacity to achieve development results by helping to build capacity of the Ministry of Planning and line ministries, to create awareness of the need for poverty monitoring and to support the establishment and institutionalization of the Statistical Offices and Planning and Monitoring Units in the line ministries. The project will assist in piloting MDG-based planning and programming at the local level by strengthening macro-micro linkage for effective decentralization. The project will also support specific outputs on emerging policy issues that have a direct bearing on socio-economic development in Somalia.

HDEU is a growing Unit and consists of the following components:

Human Development: Support to preparation of background papers for human development report and introduction of human development course in some select universities
Capacity Building on Statistics: Support to Setting, strengthening and establishing statistical offices at national, state, regional and district offices, training and on the job training and the development of poverty monitoring systems
MDG Initiatives: Support to advocate on MDGs both at public and policy level, progress reporting on MDGs and MDG-aligned development planning.

The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) developed Five Year Development Plan (FYDP) for the period 2007 to 2011. The Ministry undertook this process through a Technical Unit (TU), comprising key local and Somali Diaspora experts, selected on the basis of their fields of specialization and expertise. Consultative workshops were organized, where all relevant stakeholders were invited with the aim of creating a sense of ownership and inclusiveness. The UNDP provided technical experts during the editing and the finalization of the plan in addition to cost sharing the exercise.

During the launch of (FYDP), the government presented a policy and commitment paper to the consultative workshop. The first consultative workshop, held in Garowe, saw the participation of the President of PSS, Cabinet Ministers, members of the PSS parliament, and numerous representatives from the private sector, civil society, local non-governmental organizations (LNGOs), UN, and other international organizations, among others. The overall purpose of the workshop was to discuss the government development policies and strategies.

To operationalize the FYDP, the MOPIC prepared an annual plan for 2007 with support from UNDP. The plan set out annual priorities, strategies and sector allocations for 2007. The Ministry is currently planning to prepare an operational plan for 2010 and it is in this regard that a consultancy for this assignment is being sought.
