Call for Proposals Psychosocial Support Services and Social Cohesion Initiatives for Cross-border Traders and Porters in Rusizi (Rwanda) and Bukavu (Democratic Republic of Congo) at International Organization for Migration (IOM) :Deadline: 08-03-2021

IOM Call for Proposals

Psychosocial Support Services and Social Cohesion Initiatives for Cross-border Traders and Porters in Rusizi (Rwanda) and Bukavu (Democratic Republic of Congo)

Background

Cross-Border Trade (CBT) represents a vital source of livelihood and food security for African border communities, enhancing potentials for regional economic integration and political stability in the Great Lakes Region in particular. In the last two decades, informal CBT (ICBT) has been increasingly under the lens of research institutes and international organizations for its flexibility to adapt to fast political, economic, military, and environmental changes. However, despite many efforts to regularize CBT, the sector remains largely informal, partially regulated by simplified trade regimes, and massively operated by female small-scale traders.

Therefore, along with potential economic development and relevant political dimensions of the trade, there are crucial aspects related to women’s welfare and social cohesion in the communities across the borders to be considered in a more comprehensive perspective. The border between Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) might simultaneously represent an area of economic opportunities and a space of multiple threats to many women who literally “carry” on with their business on daily basis. Despair, frustration, and fear are easily found among the psychosocial outcomes for women who mainly depend on this source of income for their survival and that of their children and family members.

The International Organization for Migration in Rwanda (IOM), through the support of the European Union (EU), is implementing a 3-year cross-border project – “Secure cross-border social, economic and commercial activities in the Great Lakes Region” – aimed at improving trading relations among the bordering communities of Rusizi (Rwanda) and Bukavu (Democratic Republic of Congo – DRC), enhancing women’s welfare and social cohesion initiatives. Under this operational framework, IOM launched a survey in Rusizi and Bukavu to assess psychosocial needs and social cohesion resources in the bordering communities between October 2019 and March 2020.

The present Call for Proposals is part of the operational plan developed by IOM on the basis of the results of the action-research and measures suggested by the study to enhance women’s welfare and cross-border trade in Rusizi and Bukavu. This plan envisages the engagement of two implementing partners, one in each side of the border, to implement community-based activities, awareness campaigns and mediation initiatives between cross-border traders and borders authorities, in coordination with IOM Staff and Social Cohesion Mobile Team in Rusizi and Bukavu.

Scope of the Call for Proposals

IOM Rwanda is seeking applications from eligible Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Rwanda and DRC, with experience in delivering conflict mitigation and social cohesion initiatives, protection and psychosocial services, in bordering communities of Rusizi in Rwanda and Bukavu in DRC.

The overall goal of this Call for Proposals is to enhance women’s welfare and protection services to vulnerable cross-border traders and porters in the bordering communities of Rusizi (Rwanda) and Bukavu (DRC). This objective should be achieved through the direct provision of psychosocial support activities and social cohesion initiatives, access to cross-border markets and credit schemes, business enhancement and trade expertise, inclusion in professional networks, and cohesive communities.

Specific objectives of the Call for Proposals are:

A. Provision of community-based psychosocial and protection initiatives in favour of vulnerable cross-border traders and porters, including their children, family members, close relatives, friends, and neighbours.

B. Facilitateaccess of vulnerable cross-border traders and porters to social, learning and commercial services such as education, health, housing, vocational training courses and credit institutions, trade associations and cooperatives, legal services and professional consultancies.

C. Promotion of awareness campaigns on women’s welfare and cross-border trade, highlighting threats, challenges, and opportunities across the borders and coordination between cooperatives and trade associations of both countries.

D.Establishment or strengthening of existing consultative platforms and mediation initiatives between customs authorities and representatives of cross-border traders, cooperatives, trade associations, NGOs and CSOs.

Project Proposals should address at least two of the four specific objectives of the Call for Proposals, clearly indicating implementing modalities, synergies among activities, theory of change, selection criteria for beneficiaries, benchmarks and output/outcome indicators. Partnership among NGOs and CSOs are eligible, provided that each partner is clearly tasked with project activities and managerial responsibilities within the consortium.

Business Advisor at Agriterra :Deadline :10-03-2021

Piloting a new farmer-led business model in the Ngoma maize value chain 

Vacancy for ambitious and knowledgeable professionals with a passion for rural development
We are Agriterra, a Dutch agri-agency that provides business development services to ambitious cooperatives and farmer organizations in developing and emerging economies. We assist them with advice and training by locally based business advisors and by deploying practitioners from the Dutch, Spanish, and international farmer organizations and (cooperative) companies; the so-called AgriPool experts. We apply a three-track approach: We make cooperatives bankable and create real farmer-led companies, we improve extension services to farmer members and we enhance farmer-government dialogues. Our advisory practice covers the full range of services on management & organization, financial management, governance, business development, and lobby & advocacy.

Agriterra works from local offices in a large number of countries. We work with self-steering teams, so our employees are challenged to use every bit of determination, creativity, and strategy to achieve our compelling goals. Being a self-steering organization makes Agriterra an inspiring and challenging environment for professional growth and development. Agriterra is looking for a highly motivated business advisor to support the implementation of an out-growers service company model for organized soybean and maize farmers in Rwanda.

Out growers service company (OSC) model

The OSC model for maize and soybean in Rwanda is a pilot project that seeks to increase the soybean and maize productivity and supplies of raw materials for animal feed production. Several factories have been set-up in Rwanda to process animal feeds, but they all lack sufficient availability of domestic quality maize and soybean, forcing them to import their raw materials. Most maize and soya bean producers have organized themselves into cooperatives, but the efficiency of the cooperatives often requires further professionalization and upscaling. Having seen the situation, ENABEL initiated the Out grower Service Company model to provide solutions to challenges faced by both smallholder farmers and animal feed processors. Agriterra has designed a project, financed by ENABEL, to implement the model for a period of 3 years, starting in NGOMA district. Experiences and lessons learned from the pilot in NGOMA will be shared with cooperatives in Gisagara and Kirehe Districts in year 2 of the project.

Building on the farmer-led business expertise of Agriterra, the sustainability of the OSC will be based on basic economic principles: the economic interests of farmers and farmer cooperatives will be best served when they become and remain loyal members of the OSC, benefiting from better access to inputs, access to finance, insurance, extension services, and the farmer field school model. On the marketing side, the OSC will provide the members with the best marketing strategy, as the economies of scale and reduced post-harvest handling time will increase the access to remunerative formal markets. These services will be complemented by in-house expertise of logistics, post-harvest handling, and market linkages with reliable off-takers.

Position of business advisor

The Business Advisor will be based in the Agriterra Kigali office and will support the implementation of the Out-growers services company model in the maize and soybean value chains. The business advisor position requires an experienced person with multi-annual experience in cooperative development in the maize/soy sector, with a high degree of independence, integrity, and problem solving skills. The business advisor is expected to contribute to the overall management and implementation of project activities that include but are not limited to facilitate access to inputs, oversee farm operations on the field, provide business advisory services to the OSC and the member cooperatives and facilitate the access to market and finance. To ensure that the project objectives are achieved in full, the job holder will be required to establish a great cooperation and communication with OSC staff on the field, liaise directly with project partners (i.e. Enabel, RAB and local government), and other key maize and soybean value chain partners (farm inputs suppliers, financial institutions, crop insurance companies, off-takers and other services providers).

Duties

  • Provide business advisory services to the OSC and the affiliated cooperatives
  • Plan, implement and monitor project activities and progress
  • Support data collection for all project activities
  • Support the establishment of FFS
  • Create and maintain a good working relationship with all project partners, including the M&E expert, the OSC expert, the PHH&L expert, and OSC representatives.
  • Facilitate the access to finance of the OSC and the affiliated cooperatives
  • Facilitate the market access
  • Facilitate the training of farmers on post-harvest handling, storage, and logistics
  • Facilitate access to inputs
  • Provide advice to improve the extension services
  • Support the mobilization of farmers to grow soybeans
  • Facilitate the organization of meetings with partners
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly narrative and financial reports
  • Facilitate the drafting of the reports to Enabel and to the district
  • Work closely with district agricultural unit
  • Support the mobilization of cooperatives to join OSC
  • To carry out other relevant tasks as assigned by Agriterra Rwanda
  • Facilitate the training on governance and business development
  • Attending quarterly workshop to assess the achievement and progress of the project
  • Analyse the aggregation and sales achievement to provide adequate advice or recommendations

Expected results

Fully Funded Scholarship at Swansea University EPSRC and STFC PhD 2021–Apply Now


Closing date: 14 March 2021

Key Information

This scholarship is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

Start date: October 2021

Supervisors: 

Project description:

This theoretical project will develop novel, rigorous techniques, to calculate refined measures of quantum entanglement of spatial regions in conformal field theories with boundaries (BCFTs) at large central charge, in thermal and “locally quenched” non-thermal initial states.

At large central charge, BCFT correlators that compute measures of quantum information are expected to undergo a sharp transition (as a function of the size of spatial regions). This is due to a switch in dominance between intermediate exchanges involving bulk primary states to intermediate exchanges of boundary states.

A major goal will be to make precise this qualitative picture within the framework of “generalized free fields” which have recently been proposed as the appropriate CFT construct to describe strongly coupled CFTs possessing holographic gravity duals. Little is known about interacting BCFT n-point functions. Our investigation will reveal new general features of BCFT entanglement measures at strong coupling.

A deep physical interpretation of the BCFT system has in recent months been at the epicentre of one of the most important advances in theoretical physics made in recent times (Nov 2019):
Holographic duality relates a BCFT to the same CFT propagating in the near horizon geometry of a black hole dual to the boundary degrees of freedom. Thus BCFT measures of entanglement get related to quantum entanglement entropies of subsets of Hawking radiation emitted by the black hole!

The transition between the two regimes of BCFT correlators is precisely what resolves the celebrated information loss paradox for black holes posed by Hawking. In the gravity picture the transition is between the usual black hole geometry and a new semiclassical wormhole saddle-point.

Remarkably, the wormhole geometry identifies the black hole interior with the Hawking radiation outside and reproduces the celebrated “Page curve” for the entanglement entropy of Hawking radiation required by unitarity of Quantum Mechanics.

Our goal is to understand how the black hole interior degrees of freedom are encoded in the Hawking radiation. We can extract this from strongly coupled bCFT correlators modelled by generalised free fields. We will also compare and contrast these fine-grained correlations against our previous results for weakly coupled CFTs propagating in the black hole background.

The question raised above is perhaps the single most pressing one in the effort to pick apart the complexity of the quantum state of the Hawking radiation emitted by a black hole and how universal its detailed properties are.

The inclusion of wormhole saddles in the gravitational partition function, instrumental in resolving the information loss paradox, leads to a beautiful interpretation of the gravitational description of the system: it is a sum of partition functions of the so-called 2d JT gravity defined over surfaces of arbitrary genus and arbitrary number of boundaries. Remarkably these correspond to the genus expansion of certain matrix integrals. It remains a fascinating question to understand how such a genus expansion is encoded in BCFT correlators, one which we expect to be able to attack in the final stages of the project.

The questions we plan to address are topical and yet largely unexplored. The Swansea team consists of world leading experts (TJH, DT, SPK ) in holography, string theory and QFT (BL) and has already produced publications in closely related directions and continues to pursue this research vigorously.

Eligibility

Candidates must have a First, Upper Second Class Honours or a Master’s degree with Merit, in a relevant discipline.

For candidates whose first language is not English, we require IELTS 6.5 (with 6.0 in each component) or equivalent. Please visit our website for a list of acceptable English language tests. We prefer candidates to have already met the English Language requirements at the point of application, although this is not a requirement.

This scholarship is open to UK and international candidates. Please note, international and EU students may have to pay the difference between the home (UK) UKRI fee and the institutional international student fee.

NB: If you are holding a non-UK degree, please see Swansea University degree comparisons to find out if you meet the eligibility.

If you have any questions regarding your academic eligibility based on the above comparison, please email pgrscholarships@swansea.ac.uk with the web-link to the scholarship(s) you are interested in.

Funding

This three-year fully funded scholarship covers UK tuition fees and an annual stipend of £15,285.

Scholarships and educational exchanges will contribute towards all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 5 (Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls) through, for example, women’s studies, political science, anthropology, and economics; and Goal 13 (Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts) through, for example, environmental sciences/policy examining climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy, peatlands and other land use effects and strategies, and forestry.

SEED scholarships are facilitated through institutional collaborations and student exchange agreements between Canadian and ASEAN institutions. These agreements are created between colleges, technical or vocational institutions and universities. Students, hereby referred to as “candidates”, must be registered as full-time students in their home institution at the time of application and during the entire duration of their study or research stay in Canada.

Canadian post-secondary institutions

Canadian institutions are:

  • responsible for submitting applications on behalf of eligible candidates from post-secondary institutions in ASEAN; and
  • encouraged to promote this scholarship opportunity to faculty and staff members, as well as to partner institutions in ASEAN.

Canadian institutions with successful candidates:

  • should identify a single person responsible for the administration of the contribution agreement and another person with delegated signing authority; and
  • will receive contribution funding from Global Affairs Canada (legally referred to as the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, or DFATD) to disburse as scholarships to recipients.

Southeast Asian candidates

Candidates interested in this scholarship program should contact their home institution to:

  • make their interest known;
  • find out if there is an existing institutional collaboration and student exchange agreement with a Canadian institution; and
  • request information about the application process and selection criteria specific to the Canadian institution and provide any additional information, such as transcripts, language test results, a research project and a registration form for an exchange program.

Selected candidates are encouraged to:

  • ensure that they fulfill the requirements of the Canadian institution including academic requirements, language proficiency and, if applicable, institutional student exchange program requirements;
  • submit their visa application as early as possible and follow the procedures as outlined by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (generally a study permit is required for course work and a work permit is required for research);
  • initiate the process for the transfer of credits to their home institution as soon as their Canadian courses have been identified; and
  • contact alumni of the program through their home institution for advice and a local perspective on the scholarship experience.

Post-secondary institutions in ASEAN countries

Post-secondary institutions in ASEAN countries are encouraged to:

  • communicate with post-secondary institutions they are partnered with in Canada to confirm or explore institutional collaborations and student exchange agreements;
  • promote this scholarship opportunity through their international offices;
  • identify strong academic candidates who meet the admission requirements for the Canadian partner institution;
  • provide the candidates’ documents to the Canadian partner institution, which is responsible for submitting the scholarship applications; and
  • propose to selected candidates to gain additional linguistic training, academic upgrading and cultural preparedness before their departure.

Scholarship value and duration

Funding for SEED scholarships is made available by Global Affairs Canada through its legal title: the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD).

The Canadian institution will receive funding from DFATD for all successful candidates in the form of a contribution agreement and will be responsible for providing the funds to scholarship recipients.

The scholarship value varies depending on the duration and level of study. The scholarship value for students is:

  • CAD 10,200 for college, undergraduate or graduate students (Master’s and PhD) for a minimum of four months or one academic term of study or research;
  • CAD 12,700 for graduate students (Master’s and PhD) for a period of five to six months of study or research; or
  • CAD 15,900 for undergraduate and college students for a period of eight months or two academic terms of study or research.

In addition to the funds allocated to the recipients by DFATD, the Canadian host institution may also claim CAD 500 per scholarship recipient to assist with administrative costs once the scholarship recipient arrives in Canada.

Eligible expenses

Canadian institutions will disburse scholarship funds to the scholarship recipient to contribute to the following costs:

  • visa and/or study/work permit fees;
  • round-trip airfare for the scholarship recipient only (from an ASEAN member state to Canada and return upon completion of the scholarship) via the most direct and economical route;
  • health insurance;
  • living expenses, such as accommodation, utilities and food;
  • ground transportation expenses, including a public transportation pass; and
  • books and supplies required for the recipient’s study or research, excluding computers and other equipment.

Payment procedure

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement, funding will be disbursed by direct deposit to the Canadian institution upon receiving the following documents:

  • the Contribution Agreement signed by both the designated authority at the Canadian institution and the designated authority at DFATD; and
  • a Cash Flow Statement submitted by the Canadian institution, once the Contribution Agreement is in effect, to coincide with the arrival of the scholarship recipients to Canada.

Funds will be disbursed to the scholarship recipients according to the Canadian institution’s internal processes and in conformity with the Contribution Agreement concluded between DFATD and the Canadian institution. Canadian institutions will typically disburse funds to scholarship recipients in instalments.

The Canadian institution will retain proof of scholarship payments to the recipient(s) and other documents required as further outlined in the Contribution Agreement concluded between DFATD and the Canadian institution.

Should a recipient not take up the scholarship, all funds, including the administrative fee, must be returned to DFATD through the scholarship program administrator, the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE).
