Background

I. Job Purpose and Organizational Context

UNDP is the knowledge frontier organization for sustainable development in the UN Development System and serves as the integrator for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office levels forms a contiguous spectrum of deep local knowledge to cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. In this context, UNDP invests in the Global Policy Network (GPN), a network of field- based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the Strategic Plan.

Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) has the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. BPPS staff provides technical advice to Country Offices; advocates for UNDP corporate messages; represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora, including public-private, government and civil society dialogues; and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas.

BPPS works closely with UNDP’s Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP’s development programmes. BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts.

As a Global Environment Facility (GEF) Implementing Agency and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Accredited Entity (together, GEF and GCF are considered ‘vertical funds’), UNDP also supports countries in addressing development, climate, and ecosystem sustainability in an integrated manner. The UNDP Nature, Climate and Energy Unit is based in BPPS and is responsible for providing leadership and technical support for, among other areas, delivery of the Environment and Sustainable Development pillar of UNDP’s Strategic Plan. The principal areas of work are in environmental mainstreaming, environmental finance, adaptation to climate change, and local governance of resources, including energy.

The Climate Aggregation Platform (CAP) is a Nature, Climate and Energy Unit GEF-funded project which, in partnership with the Climate Bonds Initiative, seeks to promote the scale-up of financial aggregation for small-

scale, low-carbon energy assets in developing countries. The project aims to advance and raise awareness for innovative solutions to market barriers for financial aggregation. In so doing, the project can contribute to improving the lives of citizens in developing countries, bringing about affordable, reliable and clean energy.

The CAP’s activities and value proposition will be formulated in terms of a global offer and an in-country offer:

  • Global offer: global awareness raising, knowledge management products and global network;
  • In-country offer: an initial two to three in-country or regional initiatives (initial initiatives identified in Rwanda and Uganda), each centered around (i) a showcase transaction, likely in partnership with a development bank and/or the private sector, and (ii) tailored market development activities from a menu of services, such as market assessments, standardization efforts and addressing tax/regulatory barriers.

CAP’s primary focus is on advancing solutions to market barriers, and subsequentially raising awareness around those solutions. The project seeks to support innovative solutions. Innovative solutions can be understood as new, first-of-a- kind solutions in a particular market. Where possible, the CAP will prioritize innovative solutions which promise high impact, transform and/or disrupt established approaches.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has provided initial seed-funding to establish the CAP in the form of an initial USD 2 million grant. UNDP is the project implementing entity and the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI), as a Responsible Party to UNDP, will implement specific pre-identified activities.

The CAP National Coordinator (NC) will be based in Kigali, Rwanda and will be part of the global CAP Project Team. The National Coordinator will support the successful execution of the CAP project’s in-country activities in Rwanda and other regional activities. The National Coordinator will also contribute to the implementation of the project’s global offer.

The National Coordinator will provide both administrative and technical input for the implementation of CAP and will support the work of the global CAP Project Team. Administratively, the National Coordinator will support the day-to-day running of the project’s in-country/in-region activities, while technically, the National Coordinator will draw on his/her financial expertise to guide the project’s direction and activities.

As a primary objective, the National Coordinator will assist in identifying and bringing together relevant stakeholders (e.g. energy companies, investors, DFIs, government, development partners, etc.) in order to source, assess and support showcase CAP financial aggregation transactions. The National Coordinator will work closely with the CAP Project team to first define the CAP’s assistance to these transactions (e.g. providing technical assistance related to SPV structuring, regulatory matters, etc.) and thereafter organize and support the delivery such assistance.

The National Coordinator will lead the development of a detailed market assessment providing an in-depth analysis and vision for financial aggregation for Rwanda. The National Coordinator will also contribute to the production of other knowledge products, including national action plans, case studies, blog posts.

The National Coordinator will establish a National Working Group (NWG) consisting of relevant stakeholders in Rwanda. The purpose of the working group will be to guide and inform the CAP’s in-country activities, including proposing suitable showcase transactions, and providing inputs into the market assessments, CAP national action plans and CAP market development activities. The working group will also act as a broader forum to facilitate networking, coordination and sharing of information amongst national actors. The National Coordinator will manage and run the secretariat of the NWG.

Furthermore, the National Coordinator will also support the implementation of CAP market development / barrier-removal activities in Rwanda.

The National Coordinator will work closely with other CAP project team members, with the Head of the Sustainable Growth Unit and other programme analysts at the UNDP Rwanda Country Office, staff from UNDP’s BPPS/Nature, Climate and Energy Unit, project consultants and partners. The National Coordinator will report to the Global Energy and Finance Advisor and the Program Specialist and to the Head of Sustainable Growth Unit, UNDP Rwanda Country Office.

Kanagawa University fellowship program for international students to study in Japan

0

Kanagawa University introduced a fellowship program earlier than other universities, launching its first program in 1933, shortly after the university was founded.
Fellowship selection is conducted in major urban centers throughout Japan, allowing the program to furnish assistance to highly motivated students from across the country. This program has helped the university educate many talented individuals, and the tradition that the program initiated has since been extended to encompass a range of other scholarship schemes.

Furthermore, in the 2010 academic year a new Yoneda Yoshimori Education Scholarship fund was established in honor of our founder Yoneda Yoshimori, and the existing scholarship system was augmented by a greatly expanded menu of grant style awards requiring no repayment. The conditions are now in place for students to pursue their studies and extracurricular activities, obtain qualifications, and engage in other pursuits regardless of individual financial circumstances.
The founding spirit of Kanagawa University and the philosophy espoused by our founder, one that equates education with human development, are alive and well in our university today, and finding fresh horizons in the form of this new scholarship program.

2 Consultancy job positions at World Health Organization(WHO): Deadline: 07-06-2021

1. Assessment of the Impact of COVID-19 on Immunization delivery System

World Health Organization(WHO) 

 CONSULTANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

WHO Rwanda in Collaboration with Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) is inviting suitable qualified consultancy firm to apply for the following consultancy:

Title:    Assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on immunization delivery system

Date issue:  25/05/2021

Deadline:   07/06/2021




1.    Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn worldwide attention and a global response. All the countries and areas have initiated measures to contain, mitigate transmission and reduce the impact of the outbreak on health-care systems, including shifting health-care resources to the COVID-19 response.   Implementing prevention measures such as physical distancing at all levels of society, travel restrictions and closures of international borders, and community quarantines at subnational or national levels resulted in the slow of COVID-19 spread in many countries. However, the COVID-19 disease and its prevention measures have impacted negatively the socio-economic development and health services delivery system.

The immunization is a core health service that could be affected by measures put in place to control the pandemic.  The COVID-19 is putting pressure on global manufacturer production capacities, supply availability and logistics, with the risk to affect the continuation of immunization services in countries. Instituting  of  lockdowns, travel and mass gathering restrictions   to contain the spread of the virus have  also   impacted  the  logistic, the demand for immunization and vaccination service delivery by  limiting  the visits of the community to the health facilities for seeking health services including immunization and causing  the suspension of immunization outreach services.  This may result in the low uptake of the vaccination leading to the decline of immunization coverage.

The risk of disruption to routine immunization activities due to both COVID-19 related burden on the health system and decreased demand for vaccination because of social distancing requirements or community reluctance is also high. Disruption of immunization services, even for brief periods, would result in increased numbers of susceptible individuals and raise the likelihood of outbreak-prone vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) such as measles.




2.    Justification

In Rwanda, the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed on 14 March 2020. As of 28 April 2021, 24,888 people were affected, and 332 people died of the disease. Immediately after the confirmation of the first case, lockdowns, travel restrictions measures and closure of the schools were established to control the spread of the outbreak in the country. These measures may have affected vaccination services in one way or another. Supply chain and immunization services delivery may have been affected by the interruption/ slowing of international movements and trade; lockdowns and travel restriction. Compared to 2019, the average of coverage for DPT3 decreased by 9.9% in 2020, while the Measle rubella coverage reduced by 3.8%. About 44,797 children missed their DPT and Polio3 vaccines and 44,086 were not vaccinated against Measles and Rubella.  In view of these challenges, the Ministry of Health expressed the need of assessing the impact of COVID-19 on immunization delivery system.  This assessing is critical for a deep analysis of factors that may have contributed to the low immunization coverage. It will also help to document best practices, challenges and mitigation measures that can be implemented in the future to achieve and maintain high performant immunization system. The WHO will provide necessary support for the design, implementation of the assessment, as well as dissemination of the findings.

3.    Objectives 




The main objective of this consultancy is to design and implement the assessment, to identify COVID-19 related factors that may have affected the immunization service delivery during the pandemic as well documenting best practices and innovations to overcome the challenging situations.  All the key components of immunization system will be assessed

  4. Appraise the immunization data management system and utilization for monitoring the progress of coverage
  5. Examine the communication strategies and flow, and identify any changes caused by COVID-19 which may have affected the demand generation for vaccination

The immunization data plays an important role in monitoring the progress and performance by providing evidence for the success or failure of immunization program and supporting planning for improvement and sustainability of the gains. Poor quality immunization data threatens to compromise investments, impairs monitoring of global, regional and national initiatives, and can increase the risk of vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) outbreaks by failing to identify areas or populations with low vaccination coverage.

In the context of improving the quality of immunization data the Ministry of Health has embarked on the use of digital technologies to increase the generation of real time data that can support timely decision for immunization service delivery. The immunization e-registry (e-tracker) was therefore developed into DHIS-2 and deployed in all health centers delivering vaccination services.

The repurposing of immunization key staff to support the response to COVID-19 pandemic   affected all the components of immunization program including   data management and e-tracker. The EPI supervisors, data managers and vaccinators were overstretched by supporting COVID-19 response activities such as COVID-19 active surveillance, contact tracing, infection prevention and control (IPC), home based care and data management. This created additional work which led to the reduction of time allocated to immunization data entry in the e-tracker system resulting in the accumulation of missing data in the immunization data management system.




2.    Justification

The upcoming planning for the next five years of immunization includes the development of comprehensive Multiyear plan (c-MYP 2022-2026) and the measles elimination strategic plan for the next five years. All these plans will need to have quality data to appraise the current situation of the vaccination, support to define strategic interventions and targets for the next five years; and facilitate monitoring the progress against the achievement of global, regional and national immunization targets.  In addition, the integration of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system with the immunization e-Tracker will facilitate  the generation a unique identifier (ID) and quick  access to  sociodemographic data for the  parents and  child,  hence shortening the time required for registering  and updating  the vaccination status for  the child.

Given that all these developments were necessary  to improve the quality of immunization data for  well informed decisions, the Ministry of Health indicated the need  of integrating the CRVS with e-Tracker system, building capacity of end user for efficient operationalization  of the system and  updating legacy data so that  accumulated missing data can be entered into the system and used as required.

3.    Objectives 

The main objective of the consultancy is to support the MOH to integrate the immunization e-Tracker system with the CRVS system and   update immunization data into the e-Tracker system Specifically, the consultancy firm will:

  1. Integrate the immunization e-tracker and CRVS systems

  1. Develop features for the integration and interoperability of e-tracker and CRVS systems
  2. Conduct testing of the functionality of features at the immunization service delivery points
  3. Update the immunization e-Tracker user guide to integrate the elements of CRVS
  4. Organize and facilitate refresher training for the end user of the system
  5.  Support health centers to enter immunization legacy data from January 2020 to June 2021in the e-Tracker system

1. Terms of Reference for Rwanda Horticulture Working Group (RHWG) Advisor

Terms of Reference for Rwanda Horticulture Working Group (RHWG) Advisor

  • Kigali, Rwanda
  • Contract
  • Contract type: Short term consultancy contract

Company Description

SNV Netherlands Development Organization is a not-for-profit international development organizational founded in the Netherlands in 1965; and currently maintains a global presence in 28 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America.  As an organization, SNV focuses on the Agriculture, WASH and Energy sectors and maintains the belief that no one should have to live in poverty; and that all people should have the opportunity to pursue their own sustainable development. SNV contributes to programming within the Agriculture, WASH and Energy sectors by strengthening the capacities of targeted partners and communities at the field level; in order to realize increased skill sets and sustainable performance; reduce poverty levels, expand employment; improve food security; while paying special attention to gender equity, social inclusion of marginalized groups and stakeholder accountability.




Background to the Job

Since 2018, Rwanda is implementing the Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation phase 4 (PSTA 4) outlining priority investments in agriculture and estimate required resources for the agriculture sector for the period of 2018-2024. Throughout the PSTA 4 there is a strong focus on private investments, as it recognizes that agriculture growth must be driven by investments of private actors while the government becoming a market enabler. To engage the private actors, PSTA 4 advocates for public-private dialogues through the promotion of existing and/or newly established value chain platforms, focusing on priority value chains. Those forums aim at building cooperation, trust, and streamlining operations in the targeted value chains. These platforms develop a joint sub-sector vision, address specific challenges, ensure a coherent enabling environment, and promote stronger market orientation in the targeted value chains.

The Rwanda Horticulture Working Group (RHWG) is one of the value chain platforms that was officially established in 2015. It has been largely spearheaded by the National Agriculture Export Board (NAEB) and is purposed at increasing stakeholder coordination in horticulture. Its members comprise a wider group of sectoral stakeholders including private companies, cooperatives, government institutions (national & local level), associations, financial institutions, learning institutions (universities and TVETs), and development partners. From 2015 to 2017, the RHWG has received support to organize quarterly meetings from the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Until then, the RHWG had not yet taken a programmatic and formal approach and NAEB expressed their ambition to strengthen it to operate as an active and engaged group of actors who together contribute to a competitive, professional, resilient, sustainable, and vibrant horticulture sector. It was therefore envisioned to establish the RHWG as a public-private multi-stakeholder dialogue platform for the horticulture sector, in which all important and relevant stakeholders would be represented and challenges and opportunities would be addressed, both for the export and domestic markets.

In 2018, NAEB presented to the HortInvest project, a Dutch funded project, their ambition to strengthen and operationalize the RHWG. Since September 2019, the RHWG is receiving support from the HortInvest project. The operationalization of the RHWG started by putting in place chairing committee and a secretariat, which are the driving force and oversees the implementation of the RHWG activities. The RHWG is currently chaired by Chief Operations Officer of NAEB, co-chaired by the Managing Director of Garden Fresh Ltd and has a part-time secretary to support the committee and members. In addition to the committee and secretariat, an advisory committee and five value chain clusters have been put in place, namely Producers, Market Players, Logistics, Service Providers and Enabling Environment.

5.  To support the RHWG Board to develop a RHWG sustainability strategy.

6.  To act as a central point of contact to facilitate communication between members of the RHWG, other interested stakeholders and the public, and to report back to the RHWG Board.

7.  To stimulate and support the relevant authorities and other organizations in providing key data, management information and reporting, as required by the RHWG.

Those forums aim at building cooperation, trust, and streamlining operations in the targeted value chains. These platforms develop a joint sub-sector vision, address specific challenges, ensure a coherent enabling environment, and promote stronger market orientation in the targeted value chains.

Based on a request from MINAGRI for assistance in establishment of a potato platform, the Rwanda Potato Stakeholders Platform (RPSP) has been initiated in a joint effort by the Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB) and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN). A first meeting with sector stakeholders was held in January 2019 to obtain commitment and approval from the stakeholders for such a potato platform, to assess the draft Terms of Reference (ToR) and to elect a co-chair for the platform. During that time, HortInvest, a Dutch funded project, was in the process of providing support to strengthen operations of the Rwanda Horticulture Working Group (RHWG). It is therefore that EKN asked HortInvest, in line with the support being provided to the RPSP, to take up a similar task in providing support to the newly launched RPSP, with the aim of developing it into a well-established, well-functioning, coordinated and active public-private multi-stakeholder dialogue platform for the potato sector in Rwanda.




The operationalization of the RPSP started by putting in place a chairing committee and a secretariat, which are the driving force and oversees the implementation of the RPSP activities. The RPSP is currently chaired by the Deputy Director General of Agriculture Research and Technology Transfer Dr. Bucagu Charles, co-chaired by the Gafaranga Joseph, a representative of Imbaraga Farmers’ organization, and has a part-time secretary to support the committee and members. In addition to the committee and secretariat, seven value chain clusters have been put in place, namely ware potato producers, seeds producers, Extension services providers, Research, marketing (transporters, storage facilities, retailers), Agro-dealers, and processors.

Job Description

To provide strategic support and operationalise the RPSP, it has been proposed to have a senior Advisor to the RPSP. These Terms of reference provide roles and responsibilities of the newly proposed RPSP Advisor.

Role and responsibilities
