Facility Manager of the Civic Engagement Support Facility in Somalia including Somaliland

The general objective of the Somalia Civic Engagement Support Facility (“the Facility” or “the Project”) is to expand the civic space for women, youth and marginalised groups in Somalia including Somaliland and to strengthen citizen engagement on rights and accountability with the state at federal, member-state, and local level. The objective of the assignment is to set up and manage the Civic Engagement Support Facility, which will implement the Project. The Facility will have three funding windows: • Window 1: Support to established think tanks capable of producing action-oriented research and dialogue; • Window 2: An innovation instrument designed to support creative ideas from civil society which can disrupt the current exclusive practices as pilot projects; • Window 3 split into two sub-windows: (a) One sub-window supporting already established organisations to enhance their work on voice, rights and accountability, and (b) the other sub-window facilitating local informal organisations operating at grassroots level to become more operational and capacitating them to engage in dialogue with local and other authorities on their rights. The Facility will be managed by a Consultant (also called Facility Manager) under a contract with the Danish Mogadishu Representation Office (MRO) in Nairobi (the Client). The Facility Manager will have international staff in Nairobi and staff in Mogadishu and Hargeisa. The Facility will operate in different parts of Somalia, including in Somaliland. The Facility Manager will be responsible for setting up and managing the Facility subject to the decisions and instructions of the Executive Committee representing the donors to the Facility. With particular reference to the nature of window 3, interested parties are encouraged to ensure the necessary capabilities, e.g., through forming consortia with other entities, such as relevant (I)NGOs or other non-profit organisations. The estimated value of DKK 70.000.000 net of VAT is including options, whereas the maximum budget of DKK 40.000.000 net of VAT is excluding options.
