National Individual Consultant
Capacity Enhancement for the National Drought Management Authority
(NDMA)
Background
The NDMA is a specialized and permanent institution with a legal
basis. It provides a platform for long-term planning and action, as well as a
mechanism for solid coordination across Government and with all other
stakeholders.
The establishment of NDMA provides an opportunity for the
government and other stakeholders to address drought in a more sustainable
manner. It is anticipated that the authority will play a central role in
ensuring that the government puts in place the right policies, strategies and
plans to deal with impacts of drought.
Mainstreaming of drought into government budgeting and planning process and providing leadership and overall coordination will be central to the authority.
However, being a new establishment, NDMA requires support in
most of the areas to effectively discharge its mandate.
The Authority is currently hiring staff that will work at
different levels. In this regard, UNDP Kenya in partnership with Drylands
Development Center (UNDP DDC) proposes to focus on knowledge and capacity
development for the newly recruited staff. DDC is a Centre of excellence
dedicated to working with people to fight poverty in the Drylands
globally.
Their experience and knowledge in some of the best practices
will be invaluable for NDMA staff.
Objective of the Consultancy
To identify opportunities and capacity needs covering knowledge
management and communication for the DRR division at headquarters and
information and resilience units at the county level based on which to provide
training support.
