TERMS OF REFERENCE: STRENGTHENING LIVELIHOODS IN HIRAAN REGION – SOUTH CENTRAL SOMALIA PROJECT



 TERMS OF REFERENCE: STRENGTHENING LIVELIHOODS IN HIRAAN REGION – SOUTH CENTRAL SOMALIA PROJECT
Background
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 1956 that works in more than 30 countries throughout the world. DRC fulfils its mandate by providing direct assistance to conflict-affected populations – refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in the conflict areas of the world; and by advocating on behalf of conflict-affected populations on the basis of humanitarian principles and the Human Rights. In Somalia, DRC is providing relief and development services using a human rights protection of framework, aiming at supporting IDPs and host communities affected by conflict and natural disasters. Currently, the main thematic programme areas include; Food Security and Livelihoods; WASH and Infrastructure; Protection and Advocacy; Community-Driven Development; as well as Emergency Response on a case-by-case basis.
Project Overview
Loss of household income compounded by increased reliance on the market, high food costs, greater debts and waves of insecurity have made it progressively more difficult for households to cover their immediate basic needs or plan for the future. These problems are not, however, limited to the prevailing crisis or particular seasonal effects on production but are the result of compounding shocks and difficulties.
DRC has been implementing a 32 - month food security and livelihood project ending in December 2012 in Hiraan Region, funded by the European Commission (EC). The project aimed at improving food security and promoting a higher degree of self-reliance amongst populations living in selected villages of the Hiraan Region. The target for the project were 5,250 food insecure households living in the Riverine and urban areas of Beletweyne and Bulo Burte Districts to support community efforts to become more self-sufficient by improving, intensifying and diversifying agricultural production at household level; and promoting and supporting diversified income-generating activities through community-prioritized vocational skills training and capacity building. These longer-term investment activities were to be complemented by a cash relief component to mitigate the risk of loss of productive assets during acute quick- onset emergencies.

The main fields of expertise and involvement are: Community Mental Health, Support for Ethnic Minorities, Traditional Medicine, Street Children and Migrations.
