National Consultant to support the institutional capacity development and strengthening of five thematic cross-river platforms.Vacancy Number: Pr22/02365
Background
The overall objective of the EU Confidence Building Measures Programme V (the EU CBM V Programme), is to contribute to an environment of trust and cooperation across the Nistru River generating new perspectives on shared interests and a shared future for people from both banks of the river while responding to their pressing development needs. The EU CBM Programme represents a framework for engaging in development interventions across the security zone on both sides of the Nistru River, comprising a series of activities that strengthen, regularize and intensify interaction between otherwise divided societies, aiming to establish this interaction as a norm. The fifth phase of CBM started in January 2019 and consists of 4 components: Support to Economic Development and Entrepreneurship, Community Development and Cross-river Sectoral Platforms, Cultural and Historical Heritage Support and Support to Cooperative Media Content Development. In the Phase 4 of CBM, five thematic collaboration platforms in the area of environment, health, culture, education and sports, were established in order to support the initiation of mutually beneficial sectorial dialogue and projects, as well as capacity building and transfer of experience from one bank to another. The platforms are stakeholder owned and driven. Initially, the first Platforms’ members became Community Based Organizations (CSOs) which received grants to develop infrastructure on both banks of Nistru river, the platforms frameworks being at this stage a dialogue enhancement mechanism. Gradually, the platforms’ membership has been extended and includes about 350 professionals and experts as well. The ideas generated through thematic collaboration platforms are translated into specific confidence-building projects and blueprints for the upcoming development interventions. This cooperation framework has proven to be a promising non-political confidence building mechanism which also showed that in each of these thematic areas there is significant untapped potential for confidence building between organizations, institutions and communities of the two banks of the Nistru river. CBM in its fifth phase continues supporting the cross-river platforms, focusing on their further qualitative and quantitative development through generating new thematic solutions and developing strategic directions with strong confidence building elements, through expanding their membership, and broadening areas of cooperation between NGOs and professionals from both banks of Nistru river. Given the number of thematic platforms and the specific complexity of the process, a National Consultant is required to evaluate the platforms development to date, provide continuous guidance to platform leaders in the process of further development of their response to thematic problems, long-term strategies, assistance on their membership expansion, and contribution for Platforms strengthening and sustainability. Scope of work
The overall objective of the National Consultant on Cross-River Sectoral Platforms Institutional Capacity development (hereinafter National Consultant) is to support the institutional capacity development and strengthening of five thematic cross-river platforms created with support of CBM through the provision of continuous guidance to the thematic collaboration platforms.
