Description

Request for Proposal No.: RFP-ETH-AA-2019-021

Background

Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 1956 that works in more than 30 countries throughout the world. DRC Ethiopia is implementing a £21 million program to protect would-be migrants and refugees from unsafe irregular migration through and from Ethiopia. DRC Ethiopia seeks to hire a qualified consultant to develop a strong Individual Assistant Framework (IAF) for the program. It is currently envisioned that the IAF will be a mixed model comprising features of information, counselling, referral services and case management. It is expected the IAF will be capable of responding to different types of would-be migrants with varying and shifting vulnerabilities, risks and resiliencies to support their migration decision-making. The programme is centred on four guiding principles: Place the individual, and his or her migration decision, at the centre, Deliver tailored programming with an integrated approach that can fit a diverse profile of would-be migrants, Leverage existing programmes and partners, including government and CBOs and Engage in structured capacity building across programme pillars with individual, community and structural actors. The consultant(s) will develop the operational model for the IAF, including systems, procedures and tools for the framework, ensuring the model is translated into a clear operational plan. The consultant(s) are expected to draw existing mixed migration assistance frameworks, similar models already in use nationally and regionally, and think draw on best practices from other contexts where generalist case management systems are used to deliver tailored services (eg: socio-economic reintegration, legal aid, health etc) to design a pragmatic and effective model for the programme. The consultant (s) will work closely with the programme team and with DRC, donor and partner experts.
