Oxfam Pastoralism in the Dry Lands in HECA Consultancy Opportunity

Terms of Reference for a light study on Pastoralism in the Drylands in HECA RegionOxfam works with others to overcome poverty and suffering, and works in ten (10) countriesin the Horn, East and Central Africa (HECA) out of which OGB focuses on eight (8). In a recent review of the country campaign and policy priorities; six out of eight countries that OGB works in highlighted pastoralism as a key priority. Pastoralism is mainly practised throughout areas of rural Somalia, that is, in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands of northern and central Somalia, northern and north eastern Kenya, northern Tanzania, Karamoja area in Uganda as well as in South Sudan. Oxfam currently supports pastoralists’ communities along Somalia-Ethiopia border through a cross border disaster risk reduction initiative as well as pastoralists’ communities in the Karamoja area in Uganda and Ngorongoro area in northern Tanzania. Oxfam also provides support to communities in Kenya and South Sudan where pastoralism is part of the livelihood system of these communities.Concerns have been raised about the future and viability of Pastoralism as a livelihood system. Some people see it as unproductive and associate the pastoral system with backwardness, conflicts, insecurity and poverty, others see it as a livelihood option for more able community members while others see is as an option for all communities in the drylands.There is therefore a need to review what Oxfam has done on pastoralism so far especially drawing experiences from lesson learning from countries in the region. This therefore would call for a holistic review of what exists internally and externally as well as the current trends in an effort to find the best or most viable areas of intervention for pastoralism by Oxfam and best options to support Pastoralists’ Drylands communities.At HECA, Oxfam is at a point where it is looking to strengthen the one programme approach where there are clear linkages and concrete approaches that support community initiatives that link response to emergencies to longer term programming and campaigning thereby improving on their adaptive capacity. Oxfam is also looking at developing a common position on pastoralism including what the role of Oxfam would look like.Oxfam GB will use the study findings to come up with policies and strategies that provide a long-term vision in realizing lasting change of female and male members of pastoralists’ communities in the Drylands and other similar areas where Oxfam is present in the region. Similarly, Oxfam GB will use this study as an opportunity to ensure that a strong gender perspective is included in our pastoralists livelihood related work and those women in Drylands areas have their voices, priorities, capacities, ideas and aspirations driving advocacy and programming in building resilience.The objectives of this consultancy are:To review and document what Oxfam has done on pastoralism so far drawing experiences from lesson learning and best practice information from countries in the region.Identify and document conditions and processes that help female and male members of pastoralist communities maintain their adaptive capacity in building resilience in their livelihood systems.Analyse and document viable livelihood options that pastoralists and

Oxfam Review of the Play for the Union Campaign Consultancy Opportunity

Review of the Play for the Union CampaignThe State of the Union (SOTU) is a coalition of civil society organizations working together to hold African Government accountable for the ratification, domestication and implementation of key African Union decisions and standards. SOTU is committed to the establishment of a democratic culture, effective public institutions and meaningful citizen’s participation in public affairs to demand the delivery of key political, social and economic rights and standards that directly impact on the lives of African Citizens.SOTU has been implementing a continental-wide campaign—the Play for the Union—that uses football to mobilise and inform African Citizens on the affairs of the African Union. The campaign was launched in February 2012 and documents the life stories and experiences of 22 men and women (Play for the Union Ambassadors) who came together because of their love for their continent and football. Patrick Mboma, tow time African Champion and 2004 African player of the ear is te Goodwill Ambassador for the campaign. These Ambassadors who frequently are joined by celebrities from Africa have joined the campaign to add their voice in reminding African leader to deliver on the commitment they make at the African Union level.Purpose and Objectives of the ReviewSOTU is seeking to commission a review to assess the effectiveness and contributions of the Play for the Union Campaign in realising the SOTU agenda. This review will focus on highlighting key successes, lessons learned and added value as a result of the campaign. It will also make recommendations to support the team to make a decision on the future of the campaign to support our goals. Assess the quantitative and qualitative results and reach of the strategies of the campaignReview the effectiveness of the campaign strategies and approach and its impact to the mobilisation, advocacy and policy changesIdentify the campaign contribution to changes in knowledge and perceptions among the Ambassadors and people they have interacted with directlyIdentify major achievements and key challengesDevelop a set of best practices and recommendations to improve SOTU’s continental campaigning that would effectively support its agenda.
Some key questions the review should answer include:
Was the campaign appropriate considering the results and would it be appropriate to continue? Pros & consDid we reach out targets? Numbers? Policy changes?Were the people reached actually capacitated, motivated to act and demand accountability from governments?What can we attribute to SOTU? What did SOTU contribute to?Following this review what can be done better by members and by the secretariatThe output should be a report, identifying the achievements of the campaign, comparing activities to external changes, the challenges (internally and externally), and suggestions for strategic improvements. The report should be easily accessible, clear and concise. Developing tools and a work plan for the review.Conducting the actual review and data collection by reviewing key documents and interviewing key stakeholdersDeveloping a comprehensive report presenting and analysing the results of the assessmentPresenting the report to a campaign review workshopA combination of approaches is suggested employing both review of secondary information (Play for the Union reports, online engagement), and interviews with specific stakeholders and
