JOB DETAILS:
Interpeace is an independent, international peacebuilding organization. We were initially established in 1994 by the United Nations to develop innovative solutions to build peace. We have a proven and recognized approach to enable people to build lasting peace.
Background
Interpeace’s Somali programme is currently implementing a peacebuilding programme titled Talo Wadaag: Social Contract for Somalia. This is a four-year (1st July 2017-30th June 2021) programme funded by Government of Sweden and implemented by Interpeace, Academy for Peace and Development (APD) in Somaliland and Peace and Development Research Center (PDRC) in Puntland. The programme aims to contribute to sustainable peacebuilding and democratization in the Somali Region by strengthening citizen and stakeholder engagement in governance and conflict prevention and management through inclusive, participatory, citizen-centered processes and mechanisms. The programme has been working towards achieving the following outcomes: 1) Improving the understanding and capacity of citizens and civil society, particularly women and youth, to play an active role in ongoing peacebuilding and democratization processes; 2) Enabling democratization processes and policies to be more participatory, inclusive, and responsive to citizens, civil society, and other stakeholders; and 3) Enabling citizens, civil society, and decision makers to increasingly use inclusive local infrastructures for peace to sustainably prevent, manage, and resolve conflict.
Apart from implementing the Talo Wadaag programme, Interpeace is currently expanding its peacebuilding engagement to include new thematic areas, such as transitional justice and peace education amongst others. There is also geographic expansion to support peacebuilding processes across the different Federal Member States in Somalia by harnessing collaborations with other actors. In addition, Interpeace is in the process of developing a country strategy to guide its engagement in Somalia and Somaliland over the next five years. The consultant is expected to play a key role in supporting these efforts by working close with the Somali programme team and Somali partners. .

Scope of work
Working as a member of the Somali Programme, under the supervision of the Country Coordinator, the Project Development and Support Consultant will provide technical expertise in advancing the work and efforts of Interpeace in the Somali region. Specifically, the Consultant will provide the following expertise:
