CALL FOR APPLICATIONS – CFAROSA/CO24/001 Individual Consultant – Climate, Mobility and Health Specialist Duty Station of the Consultancy: Home-based with some travel to and/or within the region. Duration of Consultancy: 30 working days over Six months. Nature of the Consultancy: Development of climate-related action (policy and guidance) for programme implementation - Category B. Closing Date: 26 March 2024 Project Context and Scope: The IOM’s Regional Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Knows No Borders (KNB) Programme is being implemented in six countries, namely: Eswatini, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia. The regional programme is implemented in partnership with Save the Children (SC) and other partners and aims at “improving the quality of life and HIV-SRHR outcomes of young vulnerable persons (YVP) including migrants and sex workers living in migration affected communities in Southern Africa”. The project is guided by three specific objectives: 1) to improve safe sexual behaviour and greater freedom of choice regarding HIV and SRH amongst YVP, migrants and sex workers; 2) to increase access to and utilization of quality SRH-HIV and other support services; and 3) to create an enabling environment in which YVP, migrants and sex workers’ SRH and HIV rights and needs are progressively addressed in changed socio-cultural norms, policy reforms and implementation at the local, national, and regional levels. The programme is in the second phase of implementation (2021-2026) with funding from the Government of the Netherlands. In 2023, the Government of the Netherlands approved the application for top-up funding (2023 -2026). Part of the top-up funding requirements is the exploration of the nexus between climate change, migration and SRHR, focusing on selected project sites to develop case studies and improve policy guidance to programme teams and partners. At the institutional level, IOM’s Institutional Strategy on Migration, Environment and Climate Change and its IOM’ Strategic Plan 2024-28 underscore the health risks associated with climate change and human mobility and highlights the urgent need for interventions that address the health needs of displaced persons, migrants, and host communities in the context of a changing environment. Designated as a climate “hotspot” by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Southern African region is among the most vulnerable regions in the world to climate change. Southern Africa is prone to recurrent extreme climatic shocks such as droughts, floods, storms, epidemics, and landslides. Extreme weather events have become more frequent over the years, causing significant loss and damages, and resulting large population movements. The relationship between climate change and SRHR with patterns of human migration and their implications on the health of migrants and the communities in which they live is largely unde https://protool.gumtree.co.za/external-link-browser.html?urlaHR0cHM6Ly9lbi16YS53aGF0am9icy5jb20vY29vcG9iX19jcGxfX18zODFfMjk1M19fNDk3P3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z3VtdHJlZSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWZlZWQma2V5d29yZD0&jid1793840&xid381_2953 Apply Now
